Our off-campus accommodation is always in high demand, so we recommend applying early to ensure your group is considered in our planning for the next academic year. The application process is simple, but if you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
The application process
- Contact us to register your interest in staying with Townsville Uni Houses. This is non-binding and is done via email to townsvilleunihouses@outlook.com
- We acknowledge your interest and consider your application in our planning process.
- If we have availability, we will contact you to officially offer you accommodation. If we can’t house you, we will endeavor to provide you with this advice ASAP.
- If you accept the offer, we will draft the rooming accommodation agreement (see our tenancies page) and explain it to you in full.
- If you are happy with the terms of the rooming accommodation agreement, both parties will sign it. A completed copy will be sent to you for your records.
- A holding deposit must then be paid to secure your room. This is a necessary measure to help protect against the extremely seasonal nature of demand for university accommodation. We will provide you with a receipt for payment of the holding deposit, which is equal to the bond amount listed in the rooming agreement.
- It’s all done! Your accommodation will be ready for your start date as listed in your tenancy agreement.
- Once you move in, we lodge your holding deposit with the RTA as the rental bond for your tenancy. The RTA will send you a unique bond number as confirmation that we lodged your bond.
