Yes. All residents must sign a boarding house tenancy agreement with Property Brokers Ltd. A bond will be required and is refundable when the tenancy ends if no damage or arrears are owed. 

You can end your tenancy at any time by giving us notice under the Residential Tenancies Act. Rent is payable up to the end of your notice period. We'd love you to stay for the full academic year, but we understand circumstances can change. If you choose to give notice, our team will talk with you about your plans before your departure date to support you, and ensure a smooth exit. 

All terms are outlined in the agreement between the resident (or parent/guarantor is under 18) and Property Brokers Ltd as the Property Managers of Taranaki 217.

Absolutely! If you wish to extend your stay beyond the period in your boarding house tenancy agreement, we are happy to discuss this with you further. This may apply to international students who are staying in the country once the academic year ends, or those wanting to secure a room for the entirity of their study in Wellington. 

Short answer, no. Taranaki 217 is strictly independent student accommodation for students (17-21) studying in Wellington. However, you do not have to be a first year student to live here. If you prefer your own private space with shared common areas over flatting, then Taranaki 217 is also for you.

All applications will be screened with a valid offer of study for 2027 being required to secure your accommodation.
