Cancellation Policy
If the applicant wishes to cancel or is unsuccessful in their application to their chosen college, the applicant must cancel in writing by email or via their Student Portal account by 5.00pm on 20th August 2019. Cancellations by telephone will not be accepted.
In the event of cancellation by the aforementioned date, a 100 administration fee will be deducted from the booking/damage deposit and the remainder refunded. Refunds will be issued by bank transfer only. If the applicant cancels after the cut-off date outlined above, no refund will be issued.
Eviction or Early Departure
If the applicant cancels after having paid the first moiety, or at any time during the course of the licence agreement, a refund will only be made after the bed-space has been resold and paid for. The cancelling applicant is responsible for rent for any period up until the new applicant moves in. Centrepoint is not obliged to find a replacement tenant. Until a replacement has been found, the student will not be refunded.
Failure to refill the bed space will result in the applicant losing all monies paid. If a replacement applicant partial rental refund will be processed from when the new applicant moves in. No refund on booking/damage deposit for cancellations/early departure after 20th August 2019 as per cancellation policy.
Please note that when a student leaves, management has the right to move another resident into that student's vacant room. If this occurs, however the student must still find a replacement for the room which is vacant.
If a student is evicted, no refunds of rental will be made.
Licence Agreement
A standard License Agreement is entered between the student and their Landlord. The Licensee is obliged to follow the terms and conditions of the Village Rules, which outline the Rules & Regulations in place for the development and which forms part of the license. It is a requirement that all students residing at Centrepoint MUST have a signed licence. The licence is available within your student portal. It must be signed by both Licensee and their Guarantors and returned to the Centrepoint office no later than 23rd August 2018. On receipt of the signed contract and rental payment, apartment and room keys will be issued on arrival during arranged opening office hours, which will permit access to the allocated room.
Wi-Fi access codes and maintenance service will not be provided until the signed license agreement is returned to the office.
Checking In & Key Collection
Centrepoint will issue an email to successful applicants before arrival date detailing check in dates & times and what you will need to check-in. A key fob will be issued on arrival which will permit access to the allocated room. No access will be given to apartment unless payment has been received in full.
Inventory & Maintenance Form
An itemised list detailing all inventory items in your unit is available to each resident through their Student Portal at the beginning of the student year. This online form is to be completed carefully. All maintenance issues are to be logged separately under maintenance on your online student portal. A cut off date for completion will be requested on both the inventory and maintenance for incoming students.
House inspections
House inspections are carried out 3 times during the academic year with prior inspection notice being issued to each unit. Students are asked to have their unit in a clean and tidy condition for the inspection. Please note that Centrepoint Management dislike carrying out inspections as much as you dislike having them so please lets work together on the day of inspection.
Insurance cover
You are required to take out Insurance cover for your personal belongings as they are not insured on the Centrepoint policy. USI have recommended www.cover4students.ie.
Room Moves
The Management company reserves the right to move a tenant to another property of the same room type within the complex should the property suffer a decrease in occupancy at any stage during the academic year
On Departure
Centrepoint has a duty is to provide accommodation to you the student and to also care for the units on behalf of our landlords. It is expected that houses/apartments be returned to Centrepoint in a similar condition to which they were received at the start of the year. Centrepoint staff carry out a thorough check on all units following student departure with a focus on cleaning, painting, inventory and maintenance. The condition in which the unit is returned will have a strong bearing on deposit monies returned.
Please pay attention to the cleaning of your hob, oven, grill pan and extractor throughout the year.
Painting charges can also escalate so please take care of walls & woodwork throughout your unit. Each student is responsible for his/her individual bedroom. General wear and tear is taken into consideration for the common areas but excessive damage is payable by the student.
Maintenance damages are to be reported throughout the year.
Curtains please be aware of smoke damage - smoking is not permitted indoors at Centrepoint.
