Please take note of the following:
- It remains the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that the accommodation is up to standard and complies with the guidelines throughout the year.
- It remains the responsibility of the student to ensure that they understand the content of the lease agreement, the cost of accommodation, and their obligations as a lessee in terms the lease agreement. The lease agreement is between the student and the landlord. SU is not a party to the agreement.
- Finally, it remains the prerogative of the student to choose suitable off-campus private housing.
