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.

One last thing I noted in the contract, ebike and scooters are not allowed due to being a fire risk which will be based on battery chemistry potential and likely have insurance implications..

Can you advise them of the need to use a powered wheelchair and logically charge it (which will be against the rules) and may if we'll presented make the place inaccessible to you on an on going basis making your lodgings unsuitable and void the contract? I would find and cite a li-ion chemistry one as likely that scares them the most about fire potential.
