Why do Boarding House residents NOT go into residential tenancies?
Residential tenancies mean: • 4 to 6 week bond • Rent in advance • Usually not furnished • Lease commitments • Responsibility for services such as water usage and electricity • Tenancy checks which may act as a barrier to gaining a rental premise • No management • No community • Boarding houses mean:- • Management • 1-3 week deposit • 1 week tariff in advance • Furniture & fittings • Flexible entry into accommodation • Flexibility of stay • House Rules • Management • Assistance • Good locations • Community When a new occupant enters a community, the onus is on the new occupant to live within that boarding house. The primary right is the community with the boarding house not the individual. For occupants who require exclusive residential accommodation, then there is the residential rental market available.
