FAQ's

Got Questions? We've got the answers!

How long can I stay?

At Urbanest everyone moves in and gets to know each other at the same time. Tenancies start from January and finish at the end of Decemebr. of course, if you don’t want to move out during vacations, we will welcome you for another year and you can simply roll your contract over.


If something comes up and you need to leave we won’t hold you to your agreement as long as you find someone to replace you in your room.

What are the payment instalments?

Rental payments are made really simple, most customers prefer to pay quarterly but the choice is yours.


Payment options are fortnightly, quarterly or annually.

What is the Rental Bond?

Your rental bond is just 4 weeks rent, paid before you move in and as long as there is no damage to your apartment other than fair wear and tear we will refund it in full when you move out

What are the different payment methods?

Most customers pay rent via direct debit but if you don’t yet have an Australian bank account you can pay by credit card in regular instalments and we will help you set up a bank account for direct debit once you have moved in. Or if you pay  quarterly or a year in advance you can pay by electronic funds transfer.

What happens if I damage something?

We have taken great care over our buildings to make sure they look their best and we know you will too. However, sometimes things do happen.

If you cause any damage beyond normal wear and tear we will put it right for you and simply charge you the cost.
