Sydney's Chinese Agency with a Conscience: A Thoughtful Compilation - Rental Guide for International Students! ✨
Hi, sisters! As someone who has been hustling in Sydney for many years as a Chinese intermediary, today I want to share some practical information and advice about renting in Sydney. Not promoting anything!!!!!!!!
1️⃣ Budget Consideration
Firstly, determine your budget based on your family situation. Rental prices in Sydney vary due to factors like location, property type, and furnishings. Generally, areas near the city center and schools tend to have higher rents. It's recommended to set a budget first and then search for properties accordingly.
2️⃣ Housing Type Selection
Currently, there are mainly two types of housing options in Sydney: social apartments and student apartments. Student apartments are usually more convenient, well-equipped, and include bills (water, electricity, gas, internet). Social apartments, on the other hand, offer more space, more location choices, better soundproofing, and livability, but usually don't include bills. It's also recommended to choose the type that suits your needs and budget.
3️⃣ Location
Finding a good house requires considering places you often visit, such as schools, supermarkets, bus stops, etc. Choosing a house in a strategically advantageous location can significantly enhance your daily convenience.
4️⃣ Contracts and Terms
Before signing the contract, make sure to carefully read the terms. Pay special attention to matters concerning rent, deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and early termination. If you have any questions, be sure to clarify with the intermediary or landlord.
5️⃣ Choose a Reputable Intermediary
Choosing an intermediary with a good reputation can help you avoid many troubles during the renting process. They will provide professional advice and ensure your rights are protected.
6️⃣ Roommate Selection
If you choose to share, selecting suitable roommates is crucial. Opt for individuals with good living habits and respect for others. This can add a lot of joy to your student life.
7️⃣ Enjoy Life
Renting is not just about having a place to sleep; it's also a part of your life. Try to make your living environment warm and comfortable so that you can better enjoy life in Sydney.
