We can help one person with renting accommodation for studying in Australia.
In Australia, there are two main ways to rent a house: privately and through an agency. Renting from a private owner is less secure than renting from a company.
When looking for a house, it is important to remember that Australia is a seller's market. Private sellers are not very principled and will usually go with whoever offers the highest price. It is also common to be rejected when applying for a house.
Once you have found a house you like, contact someone you know or an intermediary to view the house. When viewing the house, ask questions about the house and take pictures of any issues. Make sure to ask about the water and electricity bills, parking, and pet policies.
If you decide to rent the house, prepare the necessary documents and apply. You may need a local guarantor for some houses. Rent is usually paid weekly and it is not possible to delay payment or move in late.
Before moving in, take pictures of the house, especially of any damage or dirt. Carefully read the contract and do not trust verbal promises, as they cannot be enforced.
