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.
Q. Can I vary the tenancy
period?
A. Once you have
signed your Tenancy Agreement you can not shorten the tenancy
period.
Q. Can I change the tenancy
move in date?

move in any time after the tenancy starts - just let us know and
we'll make sure we are on hand to help you.
