Teljoy helps students with the comforts of home

Besides the desire to keep up with the latest trends, Teljoy understands the expense associated with setting up a home away from home for your child. Apart from the exhilarating technological gadgets such as tablets and sound systems, which most young adults aspire to own, equipping a residential room or apartment requires basic necessities such as a fridge, microwave, television and laptop, to name but a few requirements.

Now Teljoy can help you out with their easy rental option rather than the rigidity that comes with buying on credit. No deposit is required, and there is no long term debt lock-in. You can upgrade or return at any time, and there is also the option to take ownership at the end of the agreement. Additional benefits include the set-up of your appliance and the TV-licence is also included as part of the rental with all TV sets. Should your appliance break during the rent-to-own period, Teljoy will also fix the item as part of the maintenance plan included in the rental service.

"We have seen an increasing number of students from tertiary institutions signing up for our services. It certainly assists mom and dad to control their budgets and expenses", says Estie du Toit, marketing manager at Teljoy. "We are also accepting applications from students who are applying on their own, despite the fact that most students don't have a credit record."

Another benefit of going the Teljoy route is their assistance when residence students need to evacuate their rooms during holiday breaks. Teljoy offers 2 options: rent-to-own, where you have an option to take ownership of the appliance or a monthly rental offer (without ownership). With the renting only option, Teljoy includes storage for the students' Teljoy appliances during the break, free of charge.
