Living in a residential community

Student res can take a bit of getting used to. Find out how you can make the most of communal living.

If you've never lived away from home before or experienced life in a share house, you might be feeling nervous about moving to student res, but remember – your housemates probably are too. Explore our tips about communal living and building a positive environment so you can get the most out of your time at Fedliving.

Consider getting insurance

You're responsible for your personal belongings. Fedliving isn't liable for any loss or damage, so we recommend you get personal contents insurance before you move in.

Moving out

When you move out of student res, you must:

  • remove posters and blu tack
  • clean food cupboards, fridges and freezers
  • vacuum and leave your room tidy
  • remove all of your belongings
  • make sure you don't take any Fedliving property by accident.

Additional cleaning or disposal fees may apply if rooms are left untidy.
