We will also ask you to sign the last page of the Welcome Guide, which constitutes part of your Rental Agreement. These documents then have to be scanned and sent back to our offices.

Is the unit perfectly like as shown on the website ?

Accepted Answer

Photographs provided on our website should not be considered as contractual.

Question 9

Is it possible to visit the property before renting it?

Most properties do not offer in-person visits, as current tenants, often students, prefer not to be disturbed. However, we provide virtual tours that are updated between rentals whenever significant modifications are made by landlords. This allows you to explore the property in detail and stay informed about any major updates.

If I do not like my lodgement when I arrive, what happens?
