Frequently Asked Questions

As there is limited housing available, we cannot state for certain the exact timeframe for you being accommodated. It really is depended on the housing availability and rental price point (affordability). We would support you with lodging any applications and providing references.

Can Zonta House Act as a Guarantor to a lease agreement?

Unfortunately we are unable to act as a guarantor to a lease agreement, but can offer a support letter and financial support to the potential tenant in the program.
