What does your rent include?

Your rent includes gas (hot water), water and a fair allocation of electricity for all metered rooms.

What is a fair allocation of electricity? please read below...

Varsity Towers will be introducing pre-paid electricity meters into all rooms to ensure we maintain an energy efficient and environmentally friendly building.

All residents renting through VT Management Pty Ltd will be given a ‘fair allocation’ of electricity on their arrival. The fair allocation supplied will be 6Kwh* of electricity, per day, for the booked duration of their stay (2012).

When tenants arrive they will be given a 20 digit token (code #) to activate the power supply meter located in your room. This will credit the meter with 6Kwh* of electricity for each day that the tenant is due to stay (eg. 15 week lease @ 7 days @ 6Kwh* = 630Kwh* that is credited to the meter).

The meter located in the room has an LCD screen that will count backwards from the credited amount. It will clearly show the current electrical usage and the balance remaining. The meter will also warn you with a series of beeps and coloured flashing lights, when your credit is running low, giving you ample time to purchase more electricity should you use all of the fair allocation.

You are able to purchase more electricity 24/7, either by phone, internet portal, or a payment kiosk (soon to be located at Level 1 Reception, Varsity Towers).

The fair allocation of electricity has been calculated using the table below for a studio room:
