FAQ’s

ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS
ABOUT LIVENSA LIVING

1. Cancellation policy

1.1 What is the cancellation policy?

Here you can view our complete cancellation policy for Livensa Living bookings.

1.2 What happens if I’ve already booked my room, but my visa has been denied or I’ve not been granted a place at university?

If you have not obtained the necessary visa or you have been denied a place at the university, we will cancel your reservation free of charge, but you will need to provide us with proof of this. In the case of the visa, proof that the visa has been denied and in the case of the denied spot, you will have to prove that you are going to study in another province other than the province of the residence where you had the reservation.

These conditions apply to cancellations that occur before the contract has started; in no case can people who want to cancel and have already started their contract with Livensa Living take advantage of these conditions.
