Housing Database - Terms & Conditions of Use

The University of Western Australia Housing Database is comprised of vacant rental properties and rooms to let, which are submitted by members of the community.

The University of Western Australia does not carry out an inspection of listed properties or in anyway guarantee the suitability of listed properties.

All listing submissions will be moderated by Housing Service staff prior to publishing.

The Housing office reserves the right to:

• Edit the information included in a listing to ensure clarity.
• Amend information in a listing if it is considered false, misleading, offensive or unlawful.
• Refuse to list any property which is considered unsuitable for students.
• Choose not to list any property which is deemed to be too far from campus.
• Refuse to list any property where complaints have been received from students  regarding the accommodation.
• Delete or suspend a user account where the user is found to have breached the terms of use on more than one occasion.

Access to the database for the purpose of obtaining accommodation is restricted to enrolled students and staff members at UWA. (Prospective international and country students may be given access to the database prior to enrolment).

The University of Western Australia does not in any way assess students or staff to determine their suitability for any type of accommodation.

It is the responsibility of all potential landlords/lessors to use their own judgement when deciding to whom they will let their property/room.

It is the responsibility of all persons seeking accommodation on this database to inspect the offered accommodation prior to entering into a contract with the accommodation provider to ensure that the accommodation meets their needs.

The rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords/agents in Western Australia are set out in the Residential Tenancies Act (1987). An outline of the provisions of this Act may be viewed at the Department of Commerce website and the Tenants Advice Service website

Accommodation seekers should be aware that not all accommodation options are covered by the Residential Tenancies Act. e.g. Boarders and Lodgers.

General information about renting or sharing a property can be obtained at the Housing Service website.
