Renterprise for universities & student unions
First-time renters are signing void leases.
Most undergraduates rent for the first time during their degree. They don't know about the four-week bond cap, the May 2025 reforms, or the mandatory-carpet-cleaning clauses that are unenforceable. Renterprise is the tool that catches these things at sign-on, in 60 seconds, for free.
The problem your student support team already sees.
Student support, student legal services, and student union welfare teams already see a steady stream of tenancy queries. Most aren't resolvable through a single 15-minute appointment. They're multi-week situations involving bond disputes, eviction defence, repair fights, and rent-increase challenges that require structured documentation across time.
The students who can't get an appointment within their own deadline (typical for tenancy issues, which run on 7-30 day clocks) either sign things they shouldn't, pay things they don't owe, or quietly accept losses they could have prevented.
The students who do get an appointment use scarce caseworker time on issues that could have been resolved with a clear template letter at the right moment.
What Renterprise gives your students.
Lease check at sign-on
Every first-year living off-campus gets a free, instant lease check that flags void clauses and tells them what to push back on before they sign. Catches the worst leases before they happen.
Bond return support at year-end
When the tenancy ends, students get the Honest Assessment + dispute letter + Bond Board escalation memo. Recovers money students would otherwise lose to dishonest deductions.
Eviction defence within 24 hours
Termination notices are time-critical. The eviction tool gives the procedural-defects check + response letter + NCAT pack in 60 seconds, instead of a 2-week wait for an appointment.
Rent increase challenges
Three-test check (12-month rule, 60-day notice, not-excessive) + market-comparables analysis + objection letter + s.44 NCAT pack. Affordability issue for students more than anyone.
Repairs that won't get done
Urgent vs non-urgent classification, the $1,000 self-arrangement right under s.64, and the NCAT rent-reduction path. Students living in disrepair finally have leverage.
Tenant Portfolio for next year
Students build a Tenant Score and a reference pack across multiple tenancies, helping them stand out from the 200 applicants competing for each share house.
How partnership works
Pilot first. Decide after.
Phase 01 — pilot
90-day free trial
A defined cohort (e.g. all incoming first-years, one residential college, one faculty) gets unlimited free access. We track anonymised outcomes.
Phase 02 — review
Outcome report
After 90 days we deliver: lease checks completed, void clauses flagged, estimated $ recovered/avoided, qualitative feedback from a student survey, and case examples (anonymised).
Phase 03 — ongoing
Per-student licensing
If the pilot demonstrates value, we move to per-enrolled-student annual licensing. Volume-based pricing, no per-use fees, SSO integration with your student services portal.
What we'll need from you
- · A nominated point of contact (typically student support, welfare, or legal services)
- · Permission to mention the partnership in our own materials (anonymised case studies, “partnered with [Uni name]” line)
- · One promotional pathway during the pilot (an O-Week email, a student services portal banner, or a welfare-team mention)
- · Honest feedback at month 1 and month 3
What we won't do
- · No data identifying individual students will ever leave the platform. Outcome reporting is fully anonymised.
- · No advertising or upsell directed at your students during the pilot.
- · No clause in any partnership agreement that locks you in beyond the initial term.
- · No promoting Renterprise as a substitute for your existing student legal service. We're the first-line tool that frees their time for complex cases.
Indicative pricing (post-pilot)
$5-$15 per enrolled student per year.
Volume-based. The bigger the cohort, the lower the per-student cost. A small student union (3,000 students) ends around $15/head. A large state university (50,000+ students) ends around $5/head. Smaller cohorts can be priced flat.
For context: this typically costs the institution less than one staff-hour per student per year, and replaces routine tenancy queries that currently consume 5-15 staff-hours per case. The math nearly always justifies it.
Talk to me
If you're responsible for student welfare or student legal services anywhere in NSW, I'd love a 20-minute conversation.
I'll send a recorded demo, an outcome-reporting sample, and a draft pilot scope ahead of the call so we use the 20 minutes well. I reply personally within 48 hours.
