“Important Information for Non-local Students” (Must Read)


Housing

Be cautious when renting a flat off-campus to avoid falling victim to rental scams involving fake hostel providers. Only rent flats with licensed estate agents to ensure the legitimacy of the transaction. Several non-local students have unfortunately fallen victim to rental scams by renting flats online and losing a substantial amount of money.

Refer to the “Tenancy Guide”and “Notes on Appointing Estate Agents” published by The Estates Agents Authority for helpful tips on renting a residential place. Check the license list on their website to verify the validity of a license.

You may also visit the website of The Community Legal Information Centre of The Law and Technology Centre of HKU for tips on tenancy agreements and matters. For information on off-campus accommodation, please refer to CEDARS.

For further advice on tenancy matters, please email CEDARS at cedars.housing@hku.hk.
