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

Refund
If an applicant has fulfilled all obligations as defined by UniLodge but the offer of accommodation at UniLodge is withdrawn, or if UniLodge Management is unable to provide accommodation in accordance with our obligations, all advance Rent instalments will be fully refunded.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

The Residential Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding document, which if broken will incur penalties. Where a resident believes that they cannot stay in the apartment or continue to pay the rent, they must notify UniLodge management as soon as possible. When considering prematurely terminating your Residential Tenancy Agreement, it is your responsibility to do the following:
• Continue to pay the rental payments for the remainder of the agreement or until the apartment is re-let plus a portion of the letting fee, calculated according to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal formula.
• You may help in finding another suitable person to take over your apartment so there is a continuation of payments to the apartment owner.
• In all cases a departure cleaning fee applies.
