Rent Payment
Rent is always paid in advance and never collected in cash.
It is best to set up an automatic recurring transfer with online banking, as it means you wont have to remember to do so every fortnight. Alternatively, you can make a deposit at a Commonwealth Bank and you will be given a receipt. Both methods are recorded electronically, which will make it easier for both parties to keep track of the payments.
Late Rent Fees
Rent must always be paid on time. The following late fees, paid to the House Fund, apply to each
fortnightly rent not paid on or before the due date:
Not paid within 3 days (i.e. by Friday) after the due date: $20 per room
Not paid within 7 days (i.e. by next Tuesday) after the due date: $100 per room
If rent is more than 14 days outstanding (i.e. by the time the next rent is due), you will have to
leave immediately. This will be considered as leaving without giving due notice, which means you
will have to cover 3 weeks rent from that date. Other fees may also apply.
Length of Stay/leaving Early
The idea is that this is a home and not a hostel, which is why the minimum commitment is one
year- 12 months (52 weeks). If you stay for less than 12 months, the following deductions from
your bond will apply, depending on how long you have stayed:
1-12 weeks- $700
13-24 weeks- $600
25-36 weeks- $500
37-52 weeks- $400
other
The bond is fixed at $800 per person (i.e. 4 weeks rent). This is lodged with the Residential
Tenancy Authority (RTA) and will be returned when you finish boarding, provided that:
there is no damage or loss to the house or anyones belongings
the rooming agreement is not broken
all rent is paid
the room is left clean
the keys are returned
