A licence does not grant exclusive possession. A licensee does not exercise the same level of rights as a tenant would under a lease. This difference is generally seen to be the defining and most marked difference between leases and licences.
These accommodations are typically owned and managed by the university itself. The tenancy agreements for university halls usually align with the academic calendar, spanning the length of the academic year – from September to June or July. For university halls, the length of stay is typically a fixed-term contract.
