Information About Us

https://occupie.co.uk is operated by Occupie Limited (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 16762155. Our registered office and main trading address is: 24 Bemsted Road, London, England, E17 5JZ. Email: info@occupie.co.uk

Occupie Limited provides a digital marketplace for facilitating short-term commercial letting arrangements between property owners (“Landlords”) and users of the platform (“Tenants”).

How Occupie Works

Occupie is a platform that connects people who need short-term retail, creative, or event space (“Tenants”) with property owners offering such spaces (“Landlords”). We make it easy for Tenants to find spaces that suit their needs and introduce them to potential Landlords. If the Landlord agrees, both parties enter into a direct rental agreement. Occupie collects payment from the Tenant and holds the funds in accordance with the applicable cancellation policy before releasing payment to the Landlord. Occupie acts solely as an intermediary platform and does not own, manage, control, or operate any of the listed spaces. Occupie shall not be responsible for any damage to property, personal injury, loss, or any outcomes arising from events, activities, or use of any space booked through the platform.

Landlords

Landlords who list their spaces on Occupie enter into an Agreement with us, which governs the relationship between Landlord and Occupie. These Terms are incorporated into that Agreement by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the Agreement, the Agreement will prevail.

Landlords are also subject to Occupie’s Landlord Terms & Conditions, which form part of these Terms. By listing a space on the Platform, you agree to be bound by the Landlord Terms & Conditions. These can be found here: Landlord Terms.

Occupie is not responsible for the conduct of any prospective Tenant during negotiations or tenancy agreements. Landlords acknowledge that the decision to rent to a particular Tenant is entirely their own. Occupie does not provide any representation, warranty, or assurance regarding a Tenant’s suitability. Occupie shall not be liable for any damage caused to a Landlord’s property, any loss of income, or any disputes arising from a Tenant’s use of the space.

Tenants

When you identify a property that meets your requirements, you can submit an offer to the Landlord via the Occupie platform. The Landlord will respond by accepting or declining your offer. If accepted, you will enter into an agreement directly with the Landlord, either on the Landlord’s own terms or as otherwise agreed between you and the Landlord. By using our platform, Tenants agree not to make direct rental payments to a Landlord for any property found through Occupie without prior written consent from Occupie. Tenants must comply with all terms of their agreement with the Landlord, including any special conditions.

Tenants are also subject to Occupie’s Tenant Terms & Conditions, which form part of these Terms. By making a booking or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by the Tenant Terms & Conditions. These can be found here: Tenant Terms.

Tenants are responsible for:

• Insuring their own property and activities.
• Ensuring the suitability and legality of the chosen space.
• Complying with all local regulations and safety requirements.

Occupie makes no warranty as to the accuracy, condition, or legality of any property listings. Landlords are solely responsible for the descriptions and terms of their spaces. Occupie disclaims all liability for the accuracy, legality, or completeness of listings, or for any tenancy that fails to complete.

Occupie shall not be liable for any injury, loss, damage, or claims arising from the use of any space, including but not limited to accidents, third-party actions, or the condition of the property.

Rental contracts are exclusively between Landlord and Tenant. Occupie is not a party to these agreements and bears no contractual obligations arising from them.

Moderate:
