If I really want to move rooms/rooms after I move in – is that possible?

Whilst you have signed a Residential Tenancy Agreement on the particular room you are living in please contact them and they will see if this is an option available to move.

How do I connect the internet/phone?

There is no phone in the room. For the Internet, the provider can be contacted at any time if you are having issues with the connection of your internet and have been through the troubleshooting guides.

What is a Condition Report?

Upon arrival, they must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 paper copies of this Report when you come to collect your keys.

Review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to the property management within three 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.

I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month’s rent?

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.

What happens when I vacate?

You need to leave your room 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. The property management offers a prepaid service for departure cleaning to assist residents.

Is there Content Insurance included?

The landlord’s insurance does not provide cover for the tenant’s possessions. It is strongly recommended you take out contents insurance to adequately cover your possessions.

What do I do if I, or my family need somewhere to stay prior to checking into the property?

If you or your family need somewhere to stay for a couple of nights to a week or rest your head after coming in from a late-night flight then why not book at Essence Hotel? They offer comfortable rooms that give you the freedom to relax in a place away from home. As this accommodation resident, your family can stay at Essence Hotel at a discounted rate, contact the hotel for details.

When can I check-in?

Reception operates 24/7 with check-ins from 2pm.

The best accommodation any student should live in. A great social environment.

Staying at Carlton Lodge was a wonderful experience. The accommodation itself was comfortable with key basic kitchen amenities provided. The staff at uc lodge took really good care and made me feel welcome and happy to be home. The only difficulty I faced was getting used to the fire alarm, when cooking as some of my friends shared that they are known to go off easily(sometimes)

I was worried about finding the right accommodation for my first year at university, but my worries were put to rest as soon as I found this place with help of a consultant provided by amber. The community atmosphere is fantastic, and I have made so many new friends here. The staff is always on hand to help with any issues and the facilities are modern and well-maintained.

The location of the building is just fantastic! Uni is within walking distance and many shops, restaurants are also within arm's reach. They have a very friendly staff that makes you feel welcome and do their best in organizing activities. I would recommend students, especially those studying at the University of Melbourne.
