If the Tenant does not validly cancel their contract under above clause, the Tenant must pay the Accommodation Fees in full for the Period of Stay unless and until all of the following conditions are met:

(a) replacement occupier, reasonably acceptable to property management, agrees to take the Accommodation for the remainder of the Period of Stay (property management will use reasonable endeavours to help the Tenant find a replacement, but cannot guarantee that a replacement will be available);
