Q: Who can apply to stay at a Living at La Trobe property?

Eligibility criteria: All Students aged 18 and over, who are enrolled in a La Trobe University (or La Trobe College Australia, RMIT University) course of study are eligible to apply to live at Living at La Trobe.

Q: If I wanted to break my lease, what are the costs associated with this?

If you wish to terminate your lease early, you must submit an early termination request. Approval of this request may include cancellation fees equivalent to four (4) weeks of rent, unless sufficient evidence is provided to waive the fee.

Q: What do I need to buy before I can move in?

Your room comes furnished with a king single bed, mattress, desk, and chair. You’ll need to bring your own linen and personal items. In self-catered residences, bring your own cookware and utensils for the shared kitchen, where you’ll have storage space. Kettles, toasters, and hot plates are only allowed in kitchen areas for safety reasons.

Q: I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month's rent?

No, you cannot as 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.

Q: How close is the nearest supermarket?

The closest supermarket is the Kennington Village Woolworths, located at 150-180 Condon Street. This is a short walk or car trip, or you can catch the local bus lines 61 or 70.

Q: 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. As a final step, you will need to complete a Bond Refund Form on the Living at La Trobe Portal and nominate the bank account you would like your bond deposit refunded back into.

Q: If I really want to move apartments/rooms after I move in - is that possible?

If you wish to move to another residence you will need to submit a transfer request. (Note: these transfer requests are subject to availability and once approved require an $85.00 transfer fee for cleaning and administration costs.)

Q: How do I receive my Bond back?

Once the resident has vacated and completed a Bond Refund Form, UniLodge 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.

Q: Who do I contact in an emergency or after hours?

Please contact the Night Manager on duty on 0407 270 540.

Q: How do I reserve a room?

Complete an online application through our Living at La Trobe Portal: https://ltu.starrezhousing.com/StarRezPortalX. Please note, in order to accept the offer, you will be required to pay the current bond deposit as per the Rules of Residence. Need more information? Contact our team!
