The rent is subject to the size and location of staff quarters and will be deducted from the salary account by the Finance and Enterprises Office. For the case of housing voucher, if the rent of the staff quarter is higher than the value of the housing voucher, the difference will be borne by the appointee. On the other hand, if the rent is lower than the value of the housing voucher, the difference will be paid to the appointee as a taxable cash allowance.

• Rent a staff quarter at a discounted rate using housing voucher
• Rent a staff quarter at a rate as prescribed by the Finance and Enterprises Office using NCA
• Rent a staff quarter at the market rate if not eligible for the University-arranged accommodation

The University is responsible for the renovation and maintenance of staff quarters, while occupants are required to pay the utility charges to utility operators directly (e.g. water, electricity, gas, telephone, internet services and pay-TV). Water and electricity supplies have been connected to individual units of the staff quarters. The Urban Property Management Limited will take meter readings as cut-off records upon move-in and move-out. The readings will be passed onto the Finance and Enterprises Office for further action. Upon move-in, the occupant should update the Water Supplies Department and the Hong Kong Electric Company on the new customer details, which bills will be sent to the occupant directly for settlement. Occupants shall arrange and select service providers themselves for the installation and connection of telephone, internet/broadband facility and Cable TV etc. Read other commonly asked questions here.
