1, renting a house through an intermediary
The first is the reputation and habits of intermediary companies. Be careful when signing a contract, don't sign it casually. It depends on where the agent is in charge, how often he comes to check, and so on. The second is to maintain good relations and communication with agents. In case a cigarette burns half of the carpet, it will cost several hundred Australian dollars.
Sometimes a good relationship with the broker may help you put in a good word with the landlord. Don't be too expensive when you check out. It is better to use their own cleaning company. You know, cleaning will be more satisfactory, and less money will be deducted.
The bill should be signed by the company itself, and it is best to find a cost-effective one. Don't forget to check whether the mailbox has arrived at a certain time, and there will be a fine for late payment. If you are your second landlord, pay attention to hygiene! Inspection should be the scariest ~
Step 2 find a second landlord
The second landlord may be a student or a PR person. Pay attention to signing the contract and remember the passport and some information of the second landlord. Remember to carefully look at how to calculate every time you collect water and electricity. Don't say as much as you want. Some people cheat in order to make money (such as some uncivilized people). Anyway, always be vigilant and keep in touch with the second landlord. You should know how to go through all the formalities. Although you boarded the plane with a bag, you should also know how to operate it so as not to be cheated.
Living with local people is not recommended, because there will be many different living habits, and some local people don't want to live with China people. Look at character. The second landlord usually advertises in the circle of friends or online. Be careful not to click on the link or QQ link, this is password theft. Direct contact phone or text message is true. It is best to go there, really look at the house and communicate with the second landlord.
3. Live in the school dormitory or the surrounding contracted apartment.
Expensive, but convenient, suitable for rich children to live in ~
4. Type of house
The studio is comfortable and quiet. Living alone is cool. The apartment is suitable for sharing. There are many old houses in the apartment. The townhouse is actually good, but it may not be very close to the CBD. The house is suitable for those who are far from school, but I don't think it is safe. Tell the truth ~

(villa)
To sum up, I personally prefer apartments, because the facilities are very good.
By the way, I think I am one of the best landlords in the world. When I was a landlord, I gave my tenant a piece of meat as long as I ate it, and the decimal point of the bill was erased forever ~
I think there are several suggestions to pay attention to:
1, contract
It seems that China's contract is also legal in Australia. You can find the standard version of the lease contract on the official website of the local Council. When signing the contract, you should take some time to look at the following rules to avoid dodging rules, especially when there is no intermediary to sign with the landlord or the second landlord. If you share the rent, you should write everyone's name on it.
2. Maintenance
Before moving in, you need to check all parts of the house with the agent or landlord and record any damage or deformity. The agent will check every two days? Check once every three months, and check out according to this form.
If you find anything unsatisfactory in the process of renting a house, you should inform the intermediary as soon as possible, preferably in writing (e-mail/text message), such as emergency situations such as broken water heater and serious water leakage. The landlord is responsible for the cost of the house, except for things he destroys, such as old and damaged furniture, burglary and house insurance.
3. Renew the lease or terminate the contract
Before the contract expires, the intermediary needs to send form2A to the tenant (South Australia) 28 days in advance. If the contract is not automatically converted into a fixed-term contract when it expires, the landlord needs to send form3 to terminate the contract at this time, which will take effect 90 days later.
4. The safety of living in the suburbs
I am more concerned about the safety of living in the suburbs. I don't have to worry about living in a good area, and my neighbors are also very good. Choose some houses that are easy to manage. It's really scary to have vegetation in Australia in spring. Living in an apartment is convenient and worry-free, and the price is relatively expensive.

Let me share the situation in Australia. In fact, there are many things to know about renting a house: the house itself, the geographical location, the nearby public security, supermarkets and public transportation. Although many international students can drive in Australia, sometimes they want to go to the city on weekends. One is to have dinner and drink some wine with friends. The other is that parking spaces in the city will be very tight on weekends, and it is best to have buses nearby.
If you rent a house in Australia, you usually share a single-family house with friends according to the high cost performance, which looks very domineering, because all the villas we know in China are very high. In fact, many things in independent houses have to be borne and responsible by themselves. Apartments are more expensive, and good apartments are of course managed and guaranteed. When sharing a villa with friends and classmates, you should know when the garbage is collected in your street every week and push your trash can to the side of the road.
Organize the garden regularly. Yes, tidy up the garden, or the landlord will miss you so much. Australia is endowed with unique natural conditions, and flowers and trees grow wildly. In the past, flowers and plants were used to cut, but later it was found that herbicides could not be used, which could only slow down the growth of flowers and plants and was difficult to clean.
Of course, it's much more than that. For example, some friends live in a very ecological place. At this time, you may need to teach yourself science. For example, there are poisonous spiders in many places in Australia, and insect prevention is also your life skill. What's more, there will be poisonous snakes visiting your house, just to see if there is a mouse nest at home.
I'm not kidding, because I'm afraid of death, so I know how to distinguish snake venom, nerve venom and protease venom. These are the natural attributes of the house you rent.

Then there are some modern things that you really have to face when you move in. Install broadband, water and electricity, and move. Renting a house and moving can make people learn a lot. I think these are all good things that normal people need to know and learn. You can ask your local seniors and sisters, and even the staff of the student center of the school can give you some guidance.
It's really an opportunity to share a room and find friends. There is a saying between our former friends that "it is easy to get along with each other but difficult to live together", which means that two people have a good relationship, and when they share a room, something goes wrong, and even they turn against each other. Of course, if they get along, it's really a blessing from heaven. If you happen to be a couple, get married quickly.
