Unite Students offers accommodation services primarily aimed at students, and the nature of these services means that refund eligibility can depend on various account management and housing situations.

• Refund Requests due to Damage Deposit: Users seeking a refund of their damage deposits after moving out, pending the fulfillment of conditions regarding property inspection, may be eligible for a refund if there are no damages or unpaid balances.

It is important for users to review their individual tenancy agreements and contact Unite Students for specific guidance based on their situation, as each case may vary and will be assessed according to the established policies.

Unite Students provides various accommodation options for students, and there are instances where users may need to request refunds. Below are some realistic scenarios where students successfully claimed refunds for specific reasons related to their accommodation experience:

• Room Change Request: A first-year student initially booked a studio flat but later decided they preferred a shared apartment for a more social experience. After discussing their situation with Uni Students' support team, they were able to process a refund for the difference in cost, enabling them to secure the new accommodation without financial loss.
• Early Lease Termination: A student received an unexpected internship offer abroad and needed to terminate their lease early. By providing the necessary documentation and following the outlined procedures, they successfully obtained a partial refund for the remaining months of their lease, per the terms in their agreement.
• Deposit Refund: After moving out at the end of the academic year, a student carefully followed the check-out procedures outlined by Unite Students. Upon inspection, they ensured that the property was left in good condition, leading to a full refund of their security deposit, processed promptly through their online account.
• Incorrect Billing Adjustment: A returning student noticed an error in their accommodation charges upon reviewing their account statement. By reaching out to customer service with clear details about their initial agreement and subsequent charges, they received a prompt adjustment, resulting in a refund for the overcharged amount.
