Who we are

About us.

Real talk: a room is just four walls. What makes it home is everything that happens inside them. The friends who turn into family, the late nights that become your best memories, the freedom to run your own life, your way. That's what we built TSB around. Not a checklist of amenities, but a place where independence and community coexist. Your studio is yours, no one's checking up on you, but step out into the lounge or the pool deck and you're never really alone. This is where your student years stop being something you just survive, and start being something you actually live.

Why choose us

Why The Student Block.

Hands-On Management

No absent landlord, no runaround. Common areas serviced daily, your room cleaned weekly, and management that actually shows up when something needs sorting.

No Surprises

WiFi's included, and every other cost is listed up front, down to the last R50. No hidden extras creeping in later.

Locked Down

Round-the-clock armed response, CCTV, electric fencing, and your own panic button with medical response. You (and your parents) can actually relax.

Close to Everything

2 minutes' walk to the gym and food, 5 to CTU, and a 10-minute drive to UFS. Less time travelling, more time living.

Your People

Just 21 rooms, a shared lounge, a pool and a braai. Small enough that you'll actually know your neighbours.

What's on-site

Everything
sorted.

We get it, letting go is hard, especially for parents. So we don't just say TSB is safe, we built it that way: armed response around the clock, CCTV on every corner, electric fencing keeping the outside out, and a panic button with medical response for every Tenant. Sleep easy. We've got this handled.

Keep it real

Community rules.
No exceptions.

Simple code to live by: clean up after yourself, put back what you take out, lock what you unlock, return what you borrow, and ask before using anything that isn't yours. Something broken or damaged? Report it. Not sure about something? Ask management. Respect the space, respect each other.

Bring people round during reasonable hours, no problem, just remember they're a reflection of you. You're responsible for their behaviour, they follow all the same rules, and if anyone's planning to stay over, get approval from management beforehand.

Student life has its moments, no argument. But from 10 PM to 7 AM, keep it down. Everyone deserves a fair shot at sleep and study, no exceptions.

No smoking inside units or enclosed common spaces. Illegal substances are a hard no anywhere on the premises. And as much as we love animals, TSB's a pet-free zone.

Your space, your responsibility. You'll sign an inspection sheet at check-in, and it's the record used for any deposit deductions when you move out, so check it properly. Supplied furniture stays in your room, and maintenance issues get reported promptly. Rooms are serviced once a week as per schedule. Nothing goes up directly on the walls: floating shelves from TSB are the only approved way to display pictures, installed by management. Need a TV bracket? Get permission first, you supply it and management installs it.

Only toilet paper gets flushed. Sanitary pads, tampons, and wet wipes go in the bins provided. Mesh drain covers are compulsory, and you can get them from the office. Be mindful of what goes down the drains, because blockages are costly and disruptive to fix. Spot a leak or blockage? Report it immediately.

Prepaid electricity tokens are for your account, use water and power responsibly, and replace failed lightbulbs in your unit when needed. During load shedding, stick to battery or rechargeable lights: no candles, open flames, or gas lamps. You do your own washing, and every wash gets logged in the register at the machine, because that's how your laundry charges land on your monthly invoice. Maximum 7 kg per load. There's a washing line for you to use, but no clothes on windows or balconies. Bins are provided and refuse is collected weekly.

Common areas are serviced daily and kitchens Monday to Friday (no weekend service), but keeping them tidy is on all of us. Wash your dishes straight after use, wipe the counters, leave nothing on the dining tables, and bring your own cleaning products. Keep food sealed in your lockable cupboard, bin waste right away, and turn off stoves and appliances. Grease and oil go in the grease bottles at the sink, never down the drain. Personal cooking appliances stay in your room, and communal kitchen items stay in the kitchen. Water and electricity are monitored, and excessive use may affect rental costs.

Fire up the braai, just bring your own grid and equipment. Use only the furniture provided and leave it there, switch off the lights when you're done, and make sure the fire is completely out before you leave. No braais or open flames on balconies, and be respectful of everyone else using the space.

The pool's yours to enjoy, at your own risk, because there's no lifeguard on duty. No diving, running, or glass containers in the pool area. Don't swim alone, after dark, or under the influence of alcohol. Follow the posted safety signage and report any pool safety concerns to management immediately.

You'll get one room key, a gate remote, and a panic button that includes medical response. Never lend your key or remote to anyone, and remember lost keys mean a lock change at your expense. Keep your door locked and windows closed when you're out. Tampering with security, electrical, or fire safety systems is strictly prohibited. TSB isn't responsible for loss or theft of personal belongings.

Shadenet parking is for Tenants only, and your space matches your room number. Park considerately and at your own risk. Defects, damage, leaks, and electrical faults get reported to management by e-mail only, WhatsApp messages aren't accepted, and please don't attempt repairs unless authorised. If you have a medical condition or disability, let management know confidentially, and provide an emergency contact number and a copy of your medical aid card.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

The practical stuff before you apply. Still not sure about something? Just ask us.

Yes, a security deposit equal to one month's rent. Your room is only reserved once we have both the deposit and your signed lease, and you have 72 hours from receiving the lease to get them to us. It's held as security and refunded within 30 days of your lease ending and the final inspection, less any deductions for damage, unpaid rent, or other amounts owing. It doesn't earn interest.

None. Enquiring and applying are free. The first payment you'll make is your deposit, once you've received your lease to sign.

High-Speed WiFi is included in your rent. Water, electricity, armed response, and laundry are charged separately. See "What additional charges are there?" in this section.

Monthly: a water levy of R225 per tenant and armed response at R35. Geyser electricity is metered and varies with your usage. All other electricity is prepaid, so you buy units as you need them. On-site laundry is at your own cost and appears on your monthly invoice. Once-off: mesh drain covers at R50 and a Kitchen Cleaning Starter Pack at R220.

Yes, high-speed WiFi is included in your rent. Water and electricity are charged separately, but WiFi is on us.

Yes. Every room comes with a single bed and mattress, a cupboard, desk and chair, bedside table, wall mirror, and blinds, plus a movable kitchenette. Most rooms also have an air conditioner.

A mattress protector (compulsory), bedding, towels and bath mats, a small fridge, pots and pans, a small lock for your kitchen cupboard, plugs and extension cords, rechargeable lights for load shedding, a comfortable study chair, a broom and cleaning products for your room and bathroom, plus your clothes, food, and a great attitude.

Your room's kitchenette is a counter and cupboard for snacks and non-perishables, with no appliances or utensils supplied. The communal kitchen has a large gas stove with oven, an air fryer, microwaves, and an urn with hot water, plus shared plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, cutlery, and cooking utensils. You also get your own lockable cupboard there, numbered to match your room. Pots and pans aren't supplied, so bring your own.

A copy of your ID, your parent or guardian's details, your medical aid details (with a copy of the card), and an emergency contact.

Yes. The lease is co-signed by a parent, guardian, or another person who accepts financial responsibility for you, so have their details ready when you apply.

If you've got a friend in mind for the Twin Share, let us know and we'll check if there's space to put you together. If one side of a shared room is already booked when you apply, management pairs you with the best-matched housemate.

Your room gets a general clean once a week, on a weekday, by our cleaning staff using our own products. Common areas are serviced daily and kitchens Monday to Friday. The rest is on you: washing your dishes, making your bed, and cleaning up after yourself in the shared spaces.

Yes. Shadenet parking is for Tenants only, and each Tenant is allocated a space matching their room number. Parking is at your own risk.

TSB insures the building, but not your personal belongings. If you want your things covered, take out your own contents insurance. It's usually cheap and worth it.
