Rental is per calendar month. The weekly rate is divided by 7 days, and it is then multiplied by 365 days, and divided by 12 months to get the monthly rate.
Rent is to be paid as per the Tenancy Agreement and must always be in advance. Our primary payment method is direct debit.
A bond is a payment that acts as a security deposit against the resident meeting the terms of their rental agreement or their duties under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997.
The bond will be lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA). The RTBA will hold the bond in trust until the end of the lease. Then, the bond is:
Refunded entirely to the tenant/resident, or
Claimed in part or in full by the landlord/owner.
The bond is equivalent to one month’s rent.
You are required to pay the bond into the bank account we supply. We will then lodge a bond application with the RTBA. You will then receive an email from the RTBA to complete the bond submission.

Carparking is available from $200 per calendar month. Please contact property staff via email to enquire.
Upon arrival, we must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 copies of this Report when you come to collect your keys. Please review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to UniLodge within seven business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the tenancy.
The ‘Condition Report’ is a very important document, as it can be used as evidence if there is a dispute about who should pay for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items, particularly at the end of a tenancy. You may want to take photos of your apartment at the start of your tenancy to further show the condition.
The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy. If the ‘Condition Report’ stated that the work was required at the start of the tenancy, or the items were not listed, it can help you prove the bond should be returned to you.

Your bond and rent are separate payments. You are required to pay rent in the specified way up to and including the date of your departure.
You need to leave your apartment clean and tidy in the same condition as when you arrived, ensure all personal items have been removed and report any damage that may have been caused during your tenancy. This allows for a speedy bond resolution. We offer a prepaid service for departure cleaning to assist residents.
UniLodge will start a bond claim, which will be done within 10 business days after you leave the rented property.
All residents are emailed a link to the claim details. Click through to accept or request changes to the claim and enter in your bank details for the bond refund. Once all tenants/residents have agreed, the RTBA will deposit the money into the nominated bank account(s) within two business days.
If you are overseas and do not have an Australian bank account, the RTBA can issue a cheque that you can deposit into an overseas bank account. If your overseas bank cannot deposit the cheque, an overseas bank transfer can be arranged for a fee. If you have not provided valid bank account details in the bond claim, the RTBA will retain the bond until you provide a valid payment option.
The owner (via Student Living - 570 Lygon), can try to recover all or part of the bond at the end of a tenancy if:
The tenant or resident:
or their visitors have damaged the property
has left and owes rent (rent in arrears)
has abandoned the premises
has left you to pay bills they should have paid
There are cleaning or repair expenses that exceed normal ‘wear and tear’.
Items that were part of the tenancy agreement are missing.
No, contents insurance is included in the bundle which costs $28 per person, per month. The cost of the bundle is included in the advertised weekly rate.

When considering the premature termination of your Residential Tenancy Agreement, it is your responsibility to:
Continue to pay all rent charges until a new resident can be secured or the Residential Tenancy Agreement ends, whichever comes first.
Pay all associated costs including applicable advertising and break lease fees as set out in your Residential Tenancy Agreement.
In all cases, a departure cleaning fee applies.
