Your deposit will remain with the OeAD-Housing Office until the end of your booking period. In some residences the deposit minus the administration fee will be remitted directly to the manager of your residence upon your arrival. In this case please contact the residence manager regarding the refund of your deposit. For further information please refer to the information sheet attached to the booking confirmation.
After you move out the deposit can be remitted to your account (also to an account in your home country) or collected at our office by means of an Austrian cheque. Please bear in mind that at the time of the refund all accommodation fees must have arrived on the account of the management of your residence and that your room must already have been checked! In some residences this cannot be guaranteed on the day on which you move out.
A bank transfer can take up to 3 weeks or, at the end of the term, up to 5 weeks.
Please note that the deposit is not automatically refunded to you. For a refund of the deposit please send your correct bank details to the branch office of the OeAD Housing Office at your place of study: Contact
