CONTRACT TERMINATION FEE

Fee

Two weeks rent plus weekly rate until the room is re-let

Frequency

As requested, payable on departure

Description

All residential agreements at the village are for either 21 or 42 weeks and it is required that every resident honour their agreement.
Events do occur resulting in residents wishing to vacate their rooms. The village administration will help residents to find a person to take over their agreement, but until that is done the resident must continue paying weekly fees.

Providing this service comes at a cost and is disruptive to the Village community. A contract termination fee is charged which is equivalent to 2 weeks occupancy fee, if the termination is subsequent to taking up physical occupancy of a room, or is within four weeks of commencement of the agreement term. Residential agreements signed and subsequently terminated before the start of the contract of the new period incur a one week charge.

The contract termination fee does not apply to university undergraduates commencing their first year of study if termination is within a couple of days of the UAI results released of their first year and due to non acceptance to Murdoch University.
