A bond is a payment that acts as security against the resident meeting the terms of their rental agreement and Rules of Residence. The bond is accepted online during the offer acceptance process. This deposit is held until the end of the resident’s lease. Following final inspection, the bond is: refunded entirely to the tenant/resident, or claimed in part or in full by the landlord/owner.

What is a Condition Report?

Upon arrival we must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 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 UniLodge 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.

I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month’s rent?

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.

What happens when I vacate?

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. Finally you will need to complete a Web Departure Form on the StarRez Portal and nominate the bank account you would like your bond deposit refunded back into.

How do I receive my Bond back?

Once the resident has vacated and completed a Web Departure Form, Victoria Regional Student Accommodation will conduct a final inspection of the residence for any damage incurred or cleaning that may be required. Any of these charges will be deducted from the resident’s bond, and the remaining amount refunded back to the nominated bank account.

Why are you claiming my Bond?

The owner (via UniLodge Wodonga East End), can try to recover all or part of the bond at the end of a tenancy if: The tenant or resident: or their visitors have damaged the property has left and owes rent (rent in arrears) has abandoned the premises has left you to pay bills they should have paid there are cleaning or repair expenses that exceed normal ‘wear and tear’ items that were part of the tenancy agreement are missing.

There's always somewhere idyllic to sit and study, socialise with your friends or just enjoy the serenity. Make the most of your time between classes with a quick bite to eat or coffee from the cafeteria, and enjoy the landscaped outdoor areas.

Felltimber Creek winds its way through the campus. We have revitalised the creek and its surrounds through an ongoing program of revegetation and bank stabilisation.
