Frequently asked questions
Q How is the cabin delivered?- On a specially designed tandem wheeled, tilt trailer towed by a 4WD vehicle.
One franchisee uses a truck. Read more about delivery of your cabin
Q What preparations do I need to make?- You need to provide a reasonably level site approximately 4.5m long by 3.0m wide. We will do the final levelling
Q What sort of access do you need?- Imagine someone delivering a caravan or boat, that's the sort of room we'll require! We may need your help with a bit of manpower to maneuver the trailer to the required position.
Q What is the minimum hire period?- Usually six months. There is no maximum period. A special, higher rate applies for short term rental.
Q Is there a contract to sign?- Yes. It is a detailed document that other hirers consider fair. Read
a summary of the lease online. Among other things, it allows
access to your property to uplift the cabin for non-payment
of rent. It requires the hirer to take care of
the cabin.
Q Do I need a permit or council consent?- Usually not, but some councils have different rules for different users. Give your franchisee a call for regulations in your district.
Q Does RoomMate have bigger or smaller cabins?- No. Smaller cabins would have less appeal, bigger cabins would need council approval.
Q Can you supply cabins with a toilet and/or shower?- No. Again,because of council rules and regulations it would be too costly to connect to water and sewer services.
Q Who pays for any damage?- Damage is the responsibility of the hirer. Allowance is made for "fair wear and tear".
Q How does the cabin connect to a power supply?- Each cabin has an electric safety lead which plugs into a three-pin socket. There is no separate power meter.
Q Does the cabin have furniture?- No. The cabin is simply an empty room with curtain rails and two double power points. Most cabins are carpeted.
Q Do I need to pay a bond?- No bond, but you do pay rent in advance. The only other cost is for
the delivery and uplifting of your cabin. Read more about payment
options

and send the completed form, with $50.00 deposit, to the franchisee
named in the GREY PANEL
Q Is there a delivery cost?- Yes. Check your franchisee's delivery costs as they vary.
