Booking terms
Check cancellation, deposits, payments and eligibility before you book.
7 terms confirmed from source data
CancellationPolicy available
Early departure is governed by the signed Residential Agreement and the legislation of the property’s state or territory; the FAQ does not publish one universal notice period or fee. Contact the property team before leaving. A student whose Australian visa is delayed or declined may be eligible for the Visa Guarantee and a refund of the holding deposit, but the required evidence, booking period and other conditions come from the applicable guarantee terms. The FAQ does not publish a universal university-offer cancellation right.
Booking requirementsPolicy available
Scape is primarily for students at recognised Australian universities, colleges or pathway providers, with eligibility varying by property or accommodation type. Choose a property, room and contract length and complete the booking online. Before arrival, the resident generally provides a Confirmation of Enrolment, valid photo ID and any additional documents requested in the Resident Portal, then electronically signs the Residential Agreement. Under-18 bookings are limited to selected Next Gen properties and can require parent or guardian forms.
DepositPolicy available
Scape describes a refundable bond lodged with the relevant state authority. Around ten days before the contract starts, the resident is invited to pay it through the Resident Portal. It is returned after move-out under local tenancy rules if the room is clean, there is no damage beyond fair wear and tear, and rent and other charges are paid. The general FAQ does not publish one amount for every building. Short Stays can have a separate refundable security deposit.
InstalmentsPolicy available
Residential rent is paid in instalments set out in the signed agreement and shown in the Resident Portal. Payment can be made in the portal or by Direct Debit linked to an Australian bank account or PayTo; cards cannot be used to establish that Direct Debit. Short Stays require full payment before check-in and may have a separate security deposit.
Payment methodsListed in policy
Payment method mentions: card, online portal.
No visa / no payCovered with conditions
A declined Australian student visa may qualify for Scape’s Visa Guarantee and a holding-deposit refund, subject to supporting documents and the applicable booking/promotion terms. Confirm the exact deadline and agreement before booking.
MoJO booking feeNo student booking fee
MoJO does not add a student booking fee to enquiries or booking requests.
