  Once-Off & Annual Fees
  
  Application Fee: R3500 (non-refundable), note! This fee secures the student’s place in the processing queue. As soon as we have verified the applicants information and received the relevant fees the form will be disabled to avoid applications that cannot be filled. However, in the unlikely event that the place has been filled and you have already paid your fees, we will refund your deposit, 1st months rental and the booking fee, less a R500 administrative fee to cover the application and refund.
  
  The booking Fee is used for Screening and admin time, Reservation processing and communication, Document and lease preparation
  
  Deposit: R8,500 (For returning students, deposit can roll over to the next academic year, topped up on 15 December after deduction of cleaning fee, damages, or other charges)
  Cleaning Fee: R1,300 (annual)

  Early Termination
  An early termination penalty of R3,500 applies to any lease that is cancelled.
  
  Early Termination Before Occupation
  
  If the Tenant cancels any time before keys are handed over, they remain liable for at least January rental, which is strictly non-refundable.
  If cancellation is after 1 January, both January and February rental are due in full.
  The Landlord may also recover reasonable costs in securing a replacement tenant (advertising, admin, viewings).
  The deposit will be refunded, less the above charges, provided no other amounts are outstanding.
  
  Early Termination After Occupation
  
  A minimum of two full calendar months’ written notice is required.
  Rent for this notice period remains payable in full.
  A cancellation penalty also applies: 75% of the rent due for the balance of the lease after the notice period, or two months’ rent, whichever is greater.
  If a suitable replacement tenant is found and no loss is incurred, the penalty may be reduced or waived at the Landlord’s discretion.
  Deposit RefundThe deposit will be refunded less any of the above costs where applicable.

- BestStellies @ Die Rand apartments 140, 145, 148 are student apartments and by signing this application you confirm that you are a student registered at Stellenbosch University or another Tertiary institution in Stellenbosch during the year of your lease term.Room Size: I understand that the room sizes are different and I have viewed the floor plan attached. Room 1 is +- 10m2 Room 2 is +- 8m2By checking this box, you confirm that you have truthfully disclosed whether you intend to stay for the full lease period or for a shorter duration. This includes situations such as repeating a semester, completing only part of a course, attending summer or bridging classes, or any other reason that may result in a stay shorter than the standard lease term. Failure to disclose a shorter intended stay may result in penalties as outlined in the lease agreement.Your accommodation is reserved after payment of the booking fee and deposit, and will only be confirmed after a signed lease agreement and payment of the deposit and first months rental and all lease conditions have been met.You will receive your lease agreement during October or after if application is laterI understand that rooms are allocated on a first-come first-serve basisHouse Rule: You must agree to and understand the house rules. Due to past issues relating to these rules, they have been put in place. We are not there to police these rules, however if one student breaks the rules and the 2nd student lodges a complaint, the 1st student, depending on the severity of the complaint, will be asked to leave the accommodation and will be in violation of the lease terms.Cleanliness: Maintain shared spaces by keeping them clean and tidy. Create a weekly cleaning schedule to regularly empty bins and clean the fridge and bathrooms. This can help prevent friction in your living space.Guest Policy: Guests should not be in the apartment after 10 p.m. Please respect each other's need for quiet to sleep or study. If noise becomes disruptive, consider relocating to another area on the grounds without disturbing other tenants.Alcohol: Drinking on the premises is prohibited. Alcohol can lead to poor decisions and disruptive behavior, impacting others in the residence.Intoxication: While you are both young adults capable of making your own decisions, please avoid arriving home intoxicated late at night. This can cause disturbances and should be avoided.Joint Expenses: Be mindful of each other's budgets when sharing expenses such as electricity, toilet paper, sugar, salt, tea, and coffee. Discuss your affordability and contribute more if you use a larger share or can afford more than your house mate.Late Arrivals: While we cannot police your comings and goings, please note that arriving home after midnight should be done quietly. Avoid activities such as showering, cooking, or making loud noise that might disturb your housemate. Under no circumstance bring friends home after 10pm.Should both housemates agree to guests or sleepovers, this should be done with extreme consideration to your housemate, and should not become a regular occurrence. If either of you request a change in behaviors outlined above, and this is not considered by the 2nd person, students can email us and we will attend to the matter. Please email us immediately and do not wait for situations to escalate. A fair chance should be given to the offending party, and wishing to terminate your lease because you have put up with ongoing issues without bringing it to our attention, will still result in early lease termination penalties.
