Last updated: 28 November 2025

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing and using GrabStays, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use our platform.

To use GrabStays, you must meet all of the following requirements:

  • A current student at a UK university or college with a valid .ac.uk email address (used for verification purposes)
  • At least 18 years old (required to enter into legally binding rental agreements)
  • Legally able to enter into binding contracts in the UK

Note: While .ac.uk email addresses are used to verify student status (including college students), you must be 18 or older to use GrabStays, as sublet agreements are legally binding contracts.

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by updating your preferences in your account settings. Transactional emails (such as account verification, message notifications, and contract confirmations) cannot be unsubscribed from as they are essential for using the platform.
