2. all outstanding debts and fees,
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the University may from time to time make changes to these Rules. It will try to do so fairly by notifying affected residents and giving them a chance to review and terminate their Residential Agreement if the change adversely affects them and they do not agree to it. If this occurs, the above cancellation fee shall not apply.
Termination by the property – Where a Residential Agreement is terminated by the property, the Resident wherever possible and appropriate, will be given 48 hours' written notice of eviction (or such other period as notified by the University). Such notice will be sent to the Resident's email address and a written copy will be delivered to their Room.

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.
No, you cannot as 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.
You need to leave your apartment 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.
As a final step, you will need to complete a Bond Refund Form and nominate the bank account you would like your bond deposit refunded back into.
