PAYMENTS

Payment is made exclusively in 12 monthly instalments paid in advance.

The accommodation fee accrues from the reservation date, regardless of the actual check-in date.

 – In the event of non-enrolment, amounts paid will not be refunded, except for the security deposit, which will be returned with a €100 deduction.

 – In the event of enrolment but failure to obtain an entry visa, instalment payments remain due in full.

 

 

INSTALMENT ISSUANCE

Instalments are issued on the 1st day of the previous month and must be paid by the 15th of the same month.

Example:
The instalment for November 2026 will be issued on 1 October 2026 and must be paid by 15 October 2026.

Failure to pay by the deadline will result in revocation of the accommodation by the last day of the paid month and forfeiture of the security deposit as a penalty.

Example:
If the November 2026 instalment is not paid by 15 October 2026, the guest must vacate the accommodation by 31 October 2026 and the security deposit will be retained.

If the assignment ends by the 15th of the month (last night), half of the monthly fee will be charged.

CANCELLATION

 

Cancellation before check-in

If a PhD student has already made a reservation and paid the first instalment and the security deposit and wishes to cancel before check-in, notice must be given at least 7 days before the agreed check-in date.
In this case, the first instalment will be retained as a penalty, while the security deposit will be refunded, less €100 for administrative costs.

 

Cancellation after check-in

Once check-in has taken place, the accommodation may be cancelled by providing at least two months’ notice prior to the check-out date.

Example:
If the guest intends to leave the residence on 20 January 2027, notice must be given by 20 November 2026.

Failure to comply with the notice period will result in a charge of two monthly instalments.

If cancellation is communicated within the required timeframe, the PhD student will be charged only for the actual period of residence, according to the following criteria:

 – stay up to the 15th of the month (last night): half of the monthly fee
Example:
If the guest leaves the residence on 5 January 2027, half of the January fee will be charged.

 – stay from the 16th until the end of the month: full monthly fee
Example:
If the guest leaves the residence on 20 January 2027, the full January fee will be charged.
