You can choose to enter into the Resident Agreement but not sign it at the time it is offered. You are free to take time to ask friends or family, your carer, financial adviser or lawyer to help you go through the agreement, if you wish. There is no official time limit for signing the Resident Agreement if, you are not paying a contribution to your accommodation or the Resident Agreement and the accommodation agreement are separate documents. However, as the Resident Agreement covers your rights and responsibilities, it is in your best interest to finalise the Resident Agreement as soon as you can.
