Questions about your tenancy agreement
Q. What is the tenancy agreement?
A. The tenancy agreement is a legally binding document between the landlord (owner) and the tenant (you). It sets out clearly defined rules of the building and the obligations of the Landlord and Tenant. This is useful because if there are any disputes, both the Landlord and Tenant will refer to the Tenancy Agreement.
Q. How long is the tenancy agreement?
A. In general the tenancy agreements are for 43 or 51 weeks although some short term tenancies are available.
Q. When do I move in?
A. If you are booking between January and September 2010 you can select the date you move in. If you are booking from September 2010 the move in date will be September 25th. You may be able to move in earlier if your room is available, please contact the office regarding this.
Q. Can I extend my tenancy?
A. If you would like to extend your tenancy you must notify urbanest as early as possible to ensure your room has not been let to someone else.
