I didn't know until I arrived, student apartments are really a loss at the original price | Melbourne guide
At this point, let's put other cities aside and focus on Melbourne.
We don't need to apply for apartments at the original price in Melbourne.
After moving in, we realized that others are paying less for the same layout, which means we are at a disadvantage. 😭
✅Booking for single occupancy:
If the lease term is 6 months, you get 1 week rent-free.
If the lease term is 12 months, you get 2 weeks rent-free.
It is recommended to choose a studio layout.
Living alone really saves you a lot of trouble.
For those who have social anxiety, it's better not to consider shared layouts, as it might make you question your life choices. 🌝
✅Grouping together:
If you have 3 or more people, you can also get some discounts.
The details may vary based on the number of people and the lease term, so please check for more information.
It is recommended to choose a shared layout, where everyone lives in the same suite, getting to know each other while saving money and feeling at ease.
If you have social anxiety,
A reminder: If there are 2 people, you can try to negotiate for the single occupancy discount. It may or may not work, but it's worth a try. Saving money is like earning money.
✅Short-term rental:
Short-term rentals are about $30 per week cheaper than long-term rentals.
It's a great deal, ladies!
⭕️Selection guide:
1. For studios, check if prices vary on different floors. This is easily forgotten.
2. For shared layouts, consider the number of people in the suite, whether there are separate rooms for females and males, and the location of your own room (near the kitchen or entrance).
3. The entrance might be noisy, and the kitchen might have cooking smells, so choose carefully. ❗️
4. After selecting the desired layout, check if your lease term meets the requirements for any promotional offers. If it's just a day or two difference, it's fine to adjust, but if the lease terms differ significantly, be cautious and watch out for any hidden surprises. [Observing closely in the background]
