Updates to Policy

• For all off-shore applications made to UniLodge, the property will be waitlisting these applications until such time as an announcement that the borders are opening. 

• So effectively, the property will not be offering contract leases, requesting security deposits or bonds or any advanced rent. 

• Property will be filing all applications in date order and when it's announced that international travel will begin again, the property will proactively  reach out to all applicants and progress their applications to bookings.

Regular Policy

Bond and Advance Rent

If an applicant has fulfilled all obligations as defined by UniLodge but the offer of
accommodation at UniLodge is withdrawn, or if UniLodge Management is unable to
provide accommodation in accordance with our obligations, all advance Rent
instalments will be fully refunded. However, while we will try to offer applicants the
rooms or apartments of their choice, this may not always be possible. If applicants
are offered similar alternative accommodation within the same UniLodge facility
before commencement of their lease or upon their arrival, but wish to decline this
offer, a cancellation fee may apply.
If your application has been accepted and you have paid your deposit of 2 weeks
rent and you change your mind, then you are not entitled to a refund. Once the
deposit has been received, this is taken as confirmation that you will move into that
room and sign the lease that has been offered.

No Refund

In the event of a resident being evicted for whatever reason, the resident will not be eligible for refund of any rent paid until another resident is found. At the end of a Residential Tenancy Agreement, where damage has been caused to UniLodge property and the Security Deposit is not enough to cover the cost of rectification, the Security Deposit will be claimed and the resident will remain liable for any additional costs. Where a resident breaks a Residential Tenancy Agreement without cause, the resident is not eligible for any refund or advanced rent until another resident is found.

Breaking the Residential Tenancy Agreement

A Residential Tenancy Agreement may be terminated if:
• You fail to pay rent by the due date and Notices to remedy have not been satisfied.
• You incur any breach of the Residential Tenancy Agreement.
At the termination of a Residential Tenancy Agreement all your personal property must be removed. Any property left in the apartment will be disposed of in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act.
