Advertise your accommodation

The University of Sydney has a free-to-advertise database that lists rental, share and full-board accommodation offered by private providers, and vacancies on-campus. This database is accessible to all currently enrolled students at the University of Sydney, and we encourage providers to advertise with us for accommodation available near any of the campuses.

Your privacy

Only currently enrolled students can access the accommodation database and view your listing. Out of your personal contact information, they only see the name listed under “Contact Person” (usually a first name), your residential street and suburb, the contact number you provided, and your email address if you wish for applicants to contact you via email.
If you have any enquiries from people claiming to have seen your advertisement on our database but are not students at the University of Sydney, please contact us immediately.

Bond and rental agreements

If you ask for a rental bond, you are required, by law, to lodge the money with NSW Fair Trading.
For information about your legal rights and responsibilities as a provider of accommodation, please refer to the NSW Fair Trading – Being a Landlord website.
Please also refer to our terms and conditions for providers about our policy on advertising your accommodation.

Scams

While the University has systems in place to ensure the security of our database, it is important to know about current accommodation scams and where to go for help.
You should never give or receive money from a potential tenant whom you have not met in person.
For more information about scams, how to avoid them and to report a scam, see NSW Fair Trading – Consumers website.

Terms and conditions for providers

By registering as an Accommodation Provider and submitting an offer of accommodation, the Provider agrees to the following terms and conditions:

6. The University reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to decline, or remove any offer of accommodation from the Accommodation Database at any time. The University is under no obligation to disclose its reasoning. The decision not to list an offer of accommodation does not in any way imply that a personal judgement has been made about a Provider.

10. The Accommodation Database will not list as bedrooms, rooms that are:
    living rooms, regardless of whether they are partitioned;
    storage rooms;
    garages;
    without windows;
    or any other spaces in a property other than a bedroom.

12. Personal information that has been collected about Accommodation Providers as part of this process will be dealt with in accordance with the University Privacy Policy.
