FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Important details to know about student housing.

A bond is a security deposit paid by the tenant before moving in. It is typically held by a government authority. It is returned when you move out, provided the room is clean and undamaged.

We recommend securing your student room 2 to 3 months before your course starts. This is when the best options are available, particularly in busy hubs like Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto, or London.
