    When can a residency agreement be cancelled?<\/strong><\/p>

    Cancellations are only permitted prior to the scheduled start date of the agreement.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What is the process for submitting a cancellation?<\/strong><\/p>

    A written request must be sent to the designated email address using the same email account that was used to sign the original agreement.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    Under what conditions is the deposit refundable?<\/strong><\/p>

    Deposits are generally non-refundable unless the applicant provides written proof of a rejected Australian Visa, a withdrawn university offer, or an employer-initiated job termination before the start date.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    How do cancellation rules differ in Western Australia?<\/strong><\/p>

    In Western Australia, the deposit is used to cover administrative expenses and lost rent associated with finding a replacement resident. If the provider suffers no financial loss, the deposit is returned.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    The above cancellation policy is a synopsis of the property\u2019s cancellation policy. There could be a few changes incorporated from time to time. Hence, we recommend you review the full Accommodation Contract for a comprehensive understanding of their cancellation policies. <\/em><\/p><\/p>","payment_terms":"
