Frequent Asked Question (FAQ's)
What is platform fees?
Is it Refundable?
Will the booking fee be refunded to the student?
Why should a student book with UniAcco and not directly with the Property Manager?
Do I need to take out contents insurance?
No, you do not. Contents insurance is automatically included with your rent.
Do I need to move out during the holidays?
Your contract is for a fixed length of time – so your room is yours throughout that period. That means that you don’t have the hassle of moving your belongings out during the Christmas or Easter vacations, and you can choose to stay in your property over these holidays if you want. It’s usually possible to book additional accommodation over the summer period if you want to stay then too. But we advise booking early to ensure rooms are available.
Do you have staff at your properties?
Every Host home has a team of trained staff on site to respond to meet your needs. Their job is to make your Host experience as enjoyable as possible.
