Regular Policy

Bond and Advance Rent

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/ Rooming House 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/ Rooming House Agreement without cause, the resident is not eligible for any refund or advanced rent until another resident is found.
 

Partial Refund
• In the case where a resident wishes to withdraw from their application, who after accepting the offer of accommodation and has paid a security deposit must give a least 28 days written notice prior to the commencement date of their Tenancy Agreement.
• Where the appropriate notice is given, then a portion of the security deposit may be refunded at the discretion of UniLodge Management, dependent on the subsequent re-letting of the apartment to another party.
 

Total Refunds
• If an applicant has fulfilled all obligations as defined by UniLodge but the offer of accommodation at UniLodge is withdrawn, or if UniLodge management is unable to provide accommodation in accordance with our obligations, all advance Rent instalments will be fully refunded.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 are 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 – 1 or 2 weeks rent and you change your mind, then you are not entitled to a refund.

Breaking the Residential Tenancy Agreement

The Residential Tenancy Agreement/or Rooming House 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/or Rooming House 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 many 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
