<human>: I started university in September and only lived in the halls for around 6 days (I left during freshers week to live with family instead)

I was informed that I would still have to pay my 2.5k per term even if I didn't live there until they found a new tenant.

Here's the kicker... I moved out during freshers week, so 6 days in to people moving in. I handed in my keys and signed a form letting them know I was gone and the reason I was moving.

I assume they are looking for someone to replace me as its their job, but get an email about 2 weeks ago saying that they only just realised I had been missing and they were worried about my well-being. I rang them up and they said that they only just found my paper work and it had be thrown on the side.

So for months where they should have been looking for someone to replace me, they didnt even know i was gone.

Is there anything I can do that will prevent me from having to pay them. I'm under contract to say I will pay the full year, but 2.5k per term seems a little steep for a place I dont even have access to and stayed in for 6 days.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Moved out of halls after 6 days. They didnt know I was gone for like 3 months. Any way I can prevent paying them? it's a shit load of money that I can't really afford
