Students coming to Adelaide
STEP 1: Register on our website
Provide us with as much information about yourself as you can. The more we know about you, the better we can recommend room/houses to you. You can let us know where you are studying, which campus, what’s important to you in a share house, etc.
STEP 2: Schedule a Skype call
We will contact you to schedule a Skype call at a convenient time.
STEP 3: View recommended options
After speaking to you via Skype and learning more about your room needs, we will send you an email with links to view video tours of rooms and houses that we would recommend to you.
STEP 4: Sign the contract
Once you select a room, we will email you a contract via Docusign (an online contract where you can sign electronically).
STEP 5: Payment and confirmation
We require the contract to be signed and bond payment and initial rent paid before we can hold the room for you. Once the contract is signed and the bond is paid, your room is held and ready for your arrival.
