Residential Agreement Cancellations
Once a Residential Agreement is signed, the student must adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in the Agreement. Although these terms may differ between Australian states, students are generally required to pay rent for the entire duration of the Agreement. If the student wishes to terminate the Agreement before it ends, and a replacement tenant is found, either by the student or our side, to take over the remaining lease, the student’s obligations under the agreement will be terminated. In such cases,  a cancellation fee generally amounting to 1–2 weeks' rent will apply.

Contracts Starting Within 14 Days – Awaiting Visa or University Offer Confirmation
If your contract is set to begin within 14 days and you are still waiting for visa approval or confirmation of your university offer, the following options are available:

1. Start paying rent to secure your room while waiting for confirmation.

2. Request a one-time postponement of your lease start date until Semester 2, 2025, without affecting your agreed rental rate. However, if you later choose to cancel, you will be required to pay a termination fee equivalent to four weeks’ rent, and the 'No Visa, No Offer, No Pay' policy will no longer be applicable.

3. Withdraw from your contract by paying a cancellation fee amounting to four weeks’ rent.

No Visa, No Offer, No Pay Policy
Students have the option to cancel their agreement without any fees under the following circumstances:

• They are unable to secure an Australian Visa.

• They are denied admission to their chosen course of study in Australia.

To take advantage of this policy, students must:

• Submit a cancellation request supported by the required documentation.

• Ensure that the request is submitted at least 14 days before the lease start date.

If a cancellation request is made within 14 days of the contract’s commencement date or after the lease has started, the standard cancellation terms of the Agreement will apply.

International Students
Students experiencing delays in obtaining their visa should notify their property at least 30 days before their contract start date to explore available options.

Reservation Cancellations
If a Residential Agreement has not yet been signed, the following cancellation and refund policies apply based on location:

Brisbane (Queensland)

• After the Agreement is signed, the Standard Cancellation Policy applies.

For NRAS-designated rooms, specific provisions regarding deposit refunds are detailed in the NRAS eligibility requirements.

Melbourne (Victoria)

• We will hold the room for up to 14 days (or longer if agreed) after receiving the holding deposit, allowing time to review and sign the Agreement. If the Agreement is not finalised within this timeframe, the deposit will be non-refundable.
