UniLodge on Gould

Security Deposit All Residents are required to pay a Security Deposit. The Security Deposit is to be paid in full on the commencement of the agreement. The Security Deposit is then held on the Resident’s behalf for the term of the occupancy and for any further period in which the Resident may occupy the apartment. The Security Deposit cannot be used for Occupancy Fees and the Resident is prohibited to run the Deposit down.

The cost of repair or excessive cleaning may be deducted from the Security Deposit upon departure. Upon departure, the resident is required to return a Security Deposit Refund form and all outstanding fees are to be paid in order to process your security deposit refund. A refund is then payable within 4-6 weeks after the Occupancy Agreement has expired.

• 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

The Occupancy Agreement is a legally binding document, which, if terminated, will incur penalties. If you believe that you cannot stay in the apartment or continue to pay the Occupancy Fees, you must notify UniLodge Management as soon as possible.

Residents must give UniLodge four weeks written notice if they intend to terminate their Occupancy Agreement before the Agreement’s expiry date. Bring documentary proof of your situation (where applicable).
If there is an emergency, let us know.
If it is deemed that you have sufficient and exceptional grounds for terminating your Occupancy Agreement, then you may be entitled to a full refund of the Security Deposit and Advance Occupancy Fees. Such circumstances may include illness or disability; death of the resident or a close family member, that is, parent, sibling or child; Political, civil or natural event, which prevents fulfilment of the obligations of the contract

In the event of the early termination of an Occupancy Agreement, whether due to the Resident’s breach of the Occupancy Agreement or at the resident’s request Occupancy Fees must be paid according to your signed Occupancy Agreement until a new resident takes over your Occupancy Agreement, or the Agreement ends, whichever comes first. If the remainder of the Occupancy Fees cannot be paid up-front upon your departure, UniLodge will use your Security Deposit to pay Occupancy Fees until the apartment is re-let. An early termination fee equal to one week’s rent will apply. In all cases, a departure-cleaning fee applies.
