6:15 Offering 10-20 dollars more actually proved to be useful in finding my previous house and this one. Interestingly, although I offered more then the listed rental fee, the agency and the owner decided to go ahead with the amount in the ad. If you have arrived recently, it is a bit difficult to find houses even in smaller cities like Adelaide, even with above average income. Being a newcomer means there is a lack of payslips and tenancy history. My company helped me with a letter indicating my annual salary and position in the firm.
Also if you are able to, offer 6 mths rent in advance to blow away the competition as these days units in popular areas receive hundreds of applications.
What a useful video i rant an apartment 6 months ago but i didnt know landlord must cleaned it before i get keys . All of the carpets were dirty and i changed it with my own money
Yet another great video. I best I like about your videos is that you don't just share the websites, but actually show how to browse those. great idea..
Hey! Thank you so much for all the videos! You're really helping people a lot! Im moving to AUS with my girlfriend in June, thanks to your videos we got to know much more! Flat, food cost, nice places, work conditions and so much more... :) Keep it going and I hope you get more subs, you deserve it!
@@matiimov7864 of course! it's a huge adventure! (I was terrified when landing at the airport, it felt surreal), but it's such an amazing country that I'm sure you'll love it here, and everyone will be super accommodating :)
As of the start of April 2023 there are 50000 rental properties available in all of Australia. Sounds good? There are over 33000 people coming in every month. If you arrive in May you will be fighting for the remaining 17000. Don't come in June. The housing situation here is terrible. Bring a tent! And that's coming from an Aussie. Caravan prices are going up as families are being forced to live in them. People who's housee were burnt down by the bushfires 3 years ago are living in hotels as the insurance companies can't get them a rental. Also everything is now 10 times the price! Bring a shit load of money.
That bad huh? Guess I won't be moving to Australia anytime soon...or ever. 😂 Well DAMN. I'm so bored with Upstate NY. But I can just move south 😅 WAY cheaper. Which is actually pretty crazy!
The rent prices between Australia and the USA are nearly the same.. whatsoever, actually I've been to Australia a decade ago and I admit that the quality of Air in Australia has always been fresh.
Even the locals cant find rental properties with 2 working adults...there are 30 to 40 people going to inspect a rental property. Many people are offering more rent in advance to try to secure a property. Australia is experiencing an all time record low of affordable housing. Many people have been left homeless since the pandemic hit. I do not recomnend anyone travel here in the hopes of finding a rental property when our hard working Aussies are struggling to find a rental property.
Why the angry comment? I am bringing my skills here, will integrate as much as I can and go back to where I came from when my contract is over. Not even planning to apply for residency.
Even you is immigrant not original citizen so it is normal for anyone to move to another land that’s why we created with moveable legs 🦵, secondly the country so huge need people otherwise even for citizens will face difficulties
@@afrochaltey You are very welcome to come here...if you want to pay more than 50% of your earnings on rent or sleep in a tent cos there is a lack of accomodation. Families are staying in hotels. Im not angry, just sad that locals have to move far from family and a community they have grown to love. I never ever said noone is welcome im just warning people cos i actually care.
@@Mary-ss6mv i agree non of us own the world. When i refer to locals as aussies, many are from other countries but they serrled here years ago...Australia is a mix of many diverse cultures.What im saying is that families get separated. Locals have to move far from the community they grew up with to find affordable accomodation if they can find something. I live here im just saying it like it is. If you want to come here and pay disturbing prices for things you are most welcome.
@@rainy.d7404what you need to understand is that not everyone who is moving to Australia is broke and poor. The money you consider rent is what I make in a day.
Thankyou for your vids. I all hoping to moving to Sydney with my family in a few months and this is very informative. I appreciate the effort you are taking here! Thankyou
Currently, Australia is in a horrible position.. in terms of jobs and rental. I'm shocked at what is happening in Sydney and Melb.. looks like we are not even at the peak of what's coming...
Could someone clear it up for me, in which price range there is a shortage of housing? It looks like there are plenty of apartments offered on the websites
bidding wars for rentals in Australia are illegal ; and if you clean well enough, there should be no charges ; and we allow for wear and tear, tenants are not responsible for costs of basic maintenance ; we have civil courts for settling disputes, and tenants unions
This video is really helpful! Thank you. I just have one question, we’re moving to Australia soon, that means we won’t have any records of personal & rental references in Australia. Would they accept references from another country?
Great question. What I suggest to do (if you are able to do so), your first 3 to 4 weeks in Australia to rent an Airbnb or shared accommodation (whilst you look for a more permanent place to live), this way you can use the 'landlord'/person renting you the room as a reference for your rental application. If you need a second reference, perhaps a friend or someone you know in Australia, or from work can also be your references and confirm you have good 'character'. (Also you'll find that smaller real estate agents are more forgiving than big agencies, so I suggest being a bit more flexible for your first property). This worked pretty well for me and other people I know :)
But what if I have zero rental history? I'll be moving to AUS in May 2024 and this will be my first time renting in Australia. Does offering a higher bond help?
You’re very cool! My wife, little daughter and I will move to Tweet Heads NSW in September, from Thailand. We will stay to our friends for a month and then we will need to find something out. This was useful. Have a nice day 😀
@@livingsimplyaustralia thank you ! Yeah but quite over priced especially for the rent 😂 anyway it’s my second time in Australia, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing. Keep your good work up, was nice watching your various videos ! Maybe we will meet one day over there for a bbq. :)
thank you for the insightful video! what about utilities? is it paid through the landlord or how does it work? also, are there any other costs to take note of? thanks!
Hi Meredith! Thanks for your questions. Utilities are usually paid by yourself (you organise your electricity provider, hot water, internet, etc. - other things like gas tend to be arranged by the landlord, but this is not always the case, it depends on whether you rent an apartment or house, and it also varies from landlord to landlord - your rental agreement will specify each of these items). In terms of additional costs, I have a video on Cost of Living where I talk about all costs to be considered czcams.com/video/Mup7AQbHZZM/video.html I hope this is of some help :)
@@livingsimplyaustralia Thank you. This is the main problem for me after landing. Can you recommend any studio in CBD Melbourne since it is a few in Airbnb?
9000 Western Australians are currently homeless. We are having a very serious rental crisis. No offence but we really don't need other people coming to take what homes are left.
@@Dragonfly-ub8owthere’s not a shortage of housing. I went to Australian housing official website and there’s thousands of houses to rent and buy. Just because YOU can’t afford it doesn’t mean there’s a shortage.

wonder, where are you guys from? why moved to AUS if you don't mind sharing, some people said that living there ain't really good
Very nice, I am from Singapore and plan to move to Australia this coming 2024
In 2023 there is a huge Rental Crisis in Australia/housing shortage. Australia is sadly no longer a good place for renters.
Aww that's a bad thing mate
How's the condition now, especially in Perth? Is it getting better or worse? I'm planning to move to Perth but the rental crisis holds me back 😭
Thank you so much❤❤❤😊😊 dear for the information👍👍👍 good keep going.

Concise and straight to point, that's very interesting. Please can u do a video on how to buy a house as migrant
Plus youll get to meet some really interesting people amongst the 2-300 other people lining up to rent the same place.

With the economic crises unfolding in the US, Canada, the UK and the EU, more westerners are likely to move to Australia. Australians brace!
We're experiencing inflation and a housing crisis here in Aus too. Its a global phenomenon
In Australia rent a house or a room in apartment which one is better than?
Suffering from rental

can i open an Australian bank account with my short-term residential address(Airbnb) or is it must to have a long-term residential address?
Yes, I did that at the time. You can then change it online once you move to a new place.

Hello! Am a new subscriber,my question is hw they pay the rent in australia plz. Every week or every month

Thank you Luca! so glad to hear! :)
What happens when you break your lease
9000 Western Australians are currently homeless.
We are having a very serious rental crisis.
No offence but we really don't need other people coming to take what homes are left.
Agreed. I'm about to be homeless because I can't find a rental due to my disability AND the shortage of housing.
So kind from you
Maybe build more homes instead of blaming people for wanting to buy one?
@@Dragonfly-ub8owthere’s not a shortage of housing. I went to Australian housing official website and there’s thousands of houses to rent and buy. Just because YOU can’t afford it doesn’t mean there’s a shortage.
Please tell me, who pays the inspection?
You don't have to pay for an inspection. It's just an appointment to see a rental property.
Why is it so hard to rent a property I tell them I will pay extra they still won’t give the property
Highest rental and house prices in the world not very good
