No Place No Stay

If a resident does not gain a place at their chosen University or College and wishes to be released from their Tenancy Agreement, they must provide Unilife with evidence of their rejection and evidence of the reason why no later than 72 hours after dated correspondence from your University or College. You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective first year undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different University.

No Visa No Stay

If a resident does not receive a VISA and wishes to be released from their Tenancy Agreement, they must provide Unilife with evidence of their rejection to [email protected] within 3 working days of the VISA rejection letter. If the above is received within 3 working days, the resident will be eligible to have their contract withdrawn and a full refund of pre-rent instalment and deposit.

Cancellation Policy

Once a tenancy is complete and the cooling off period of 48 hours has lapsed, the student is liable for their contract. The student will not be able to cancel their tenancy agreement unless their reasoning falls under ‘No Place, No Stay’, ‘No Visa, No Stay’ or ‘Replacement Tenant’. Sufficient evidence must be provided from the institution before Unilife cancel the contract.
