Preferred choice of housing

Each area has two options to choose from:
category 1 - rent ranges from R15,000 - R16,900 per person per semester
category 2 - rent ranges from R17,000 - R19,900 per person per semester

A - Rondebosch B - Rosebank C - Mowbray D - Observatory E - Own accommodation

For example - If you would like to live in Observatory and pay R12,500 for the semester, then you would write D1 as your first choice. If you are arranging your own housing, you would simply write E. Housing is allocated according to availability and it is essential that you list at least 3 options.

Special Comments - please state here:

If you use IAPO-secured housing, you are committed to a five-month lease period. You may not come to Cape Town and decide after a couple of days/weeks/months that you are going to move in with friends or make any other alternative accommodation plans. If you do this you will be liable for the full rent for that period. Landlords will request you to sign a lease for the time you are residing in their accommodation.

I am aware that my housing choice cannot be processed until my non-refundable Housing Booking fee has been paid (deductible against total rental due). The ZAR 3,000 deposit must be paid by telegraphic transfer to (include all bank fees):
