Apartment Renting Suggestions For College Students In Australia

Posted by Ander Sonben on March 3rd, 2017

Are you are moving to Australia? Do you want to live in a student apartment? You may want to take some advice as shifting to your first student accommodation in Australia can be a little tricky.  If you haven’t been through the process before, you may not know what to expect and may be unaware of what are the regular norms for rent, terms & conditions, issues with new roommates, living away from home for the first time and things like that. Things get a little more tricky when it is related to international student accommodation in Australia. In this article we will take you through a small tour of what happens and what not.

To start with, do a bit of research and find out the amount of money you can afford without hurting your pocket. Get to know they type of the apartments you could lease. A brisk examination of the ads will let you know what the normal value range is for your suburb or neighborhood. Take into account that on-campus accommodation and university colleges tend to be more expensive than the cheaper apartments accessible to you - you will have to pay a bit more for location and because many of them include food and utility bills.

Always be careful of scams. Especially with listings that are in generic online sites. If the price seems like a bargain or too good to be true, or you are instantly asked about personal information, simply ignore move on. We recommend going to specialised student accommodation in Australia sites. In this way you know the hosts accept students and the users will be verified (minimising the risks of scams).

Be thorough when checking any host, business or agent before you lease - they may have genuine complaints against them. Always refer to the Tenancy Laws in Australia to see how what your rights and responsibilities are. International Students normally don't own a car, thus make sure the rooms and student apartments are accessible to public transportation and within walking distance to services. Take into account that you can always use a bicycle or walk everywhere.

Another cheap housing solution for international students in Australia (especially in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane which tend to be the most expensive cities in the country) is to make friends at university and rent a place together. Many students are also renting cheap rooms in apartments looking for suitable flat mates. Take into account that with this type of setting you will likely have to buy your own furniture, divide the utility bills costs (electricity, gas, water, internet) and work as a team to clean and maintain the place tidy and clean. Many of these places will have pets or allow smoking. Make sure you find out all these details before moving in.
