Questions
How far are these rooms from Rosebank College?
Every place shows how far it is from Rosebank College in kilometres, worked out from where the landlord put it on the map. The street address is shared once you live there; until then you see the suburb and the distance.
Are the places checked?
Every place is checked by a person before it goes up, and the landlord shows proof that they own it or may let it. It is a check, not an inspection, so see the room before you pay anything.
How do I ask about a room?
Tap "Ask on WhatsApp" on the place. Your message goes to WhoseInn, which puts you in touch with the landlord. You verify your ID once before messaging a landlord, and so has every landlord here.
What kinds of rooms are there?
Single rooms, sharing rooms, en-suite rooms, bachelors, flats and cottages, each with its own rent a month. A sharing room sleeps two, and its rent is per person.
Does NSFAS pay for accommodation?
NSFAS includes an accommodation allowance for students it funds, paid for accommodation that is accredited. How much, and which places count, depend on NSFAS's rules for the year and on where you study, so check with NSFAS and your institution's housing office. WhoseInn does not accredit places.
Do places take bursaries?
Each landlord says whether a place takes cash, bursaries or both, and a room can differ from the rest of the house; rooms for one or the other are marked. On WhatsApp you say once how your rent is paid, and you are shown the rooms you can pay for.
