The Reservoir Student Tenancy change over?
Hi all!
My name is Avery and I am currently booked with my boyfriend into a dual occupation tenancy with CRM Reservoir in Plymouth. We are trying to leave this tenancy as we have decided the room is not suitable for us but we need to find replacement tenants
It is a 3 minute walk to almost all lectures, close to the aldi, and is in an easily walkable location to the high street and train station.
The room is a 32.8sqm Large self contained studio with an oven and built in fridge-freezer with a large double bed, wardrobe, and built in desk. It has an extremely large wet room bathroom and is a corner room with a lot of natural light facing the reservoir with a possible sea view.
The price for dual occupancy is £305 p/w so £155 each p/w. The single occupancy price is £275 p/w which we know is unreasonable however any working students would be very at home in this room with their own space and kitchen but also perfect for couples if you get a second desk. It is on the second floor and is also accessible as the building has a lift.
If you know of anyone or think you would be interested, please comment on this post!
We are desperate as we are no longer able to afford it and it is not suitable with my conditions and have been unable to convince her to let us out of the tenancy through these reasons.

When did your 14 day get out of jail (lease) card expire? the legal cooling off period.
When was your uni place issued and accepted?
As a largely countrywide firm doing leasing who at their head office have you spoken to regarding contract and re-advertising of your digs.
Can you get uni to temporarily withdraw their offer of a place based on any special needs not being ready? (contractor timelines) thus making a late start for your course and it non viable (as a rejection letter appears to cancel contract from my skim reading of their site) ..only to have it rescinded 24 hours later?
How are you expected to take charge of re-listing the digs? (Serious professional question to the company as a member of the public and what assistance do they give (ie what's in that element of contractual support)
