The annual freshman season has arrived, but the little sister found that there are still a lot of students are worried about looking for house problem! How can I find a satisfied house? Today, the little sister will tell you some practical information.
What kind of room should I choose?
Apartment Apartment
Apartment is also common in China, such as the well-known facelift and climbing building near the University of Melbourne and RMIT, which belong to apartments and are the most common choice for students studying in City.
UNIT single-family unit
Unit simple can be counted as a low-level Apartment, generally 2 or 3 layers, the price of the high-end Apartment will be much cheaper.
Single-family House & townhouse Townhouse
A house in House`s single house, with more separate spaces and areas, usually matches the garage. Townhouse is understood as the House of the pedestal shared wall, and the neighborhood is a little closer to each other.
But it`s hard to find House for friends who go to City, but if you`re a student at Monash or Deacon, you feel more at home living with your partner in House.
students` dormitory
Australian universities are largely equipped with student apartments, but applications are a lot more difficult and expensive than looking for an Apartment off-campus. Compared to the student apartments offered by the school itself, there are also many student apartment brands in Australia, and friends who are out of trouble in Australia can first "squeeze" into the apartment to familiarize themselves with life.
Lease mode
Single room lease
Like the concept of domestic co-renting, enjoy a room, share living room with roommates, kitchen, etc. In general, co-renting apartment is equipped with furniture, friends only need to carry bags to check in.

Whole rent
Friends can take the whole house, either by themselves or with friends, and then divide their use areas. Because most full-rent house does not include furniture, there is still a big price advantage over single-room rentals.

So after learning about Melbourne`s rental information, the little sister to tell you some specific rental steps oh!
STEP-1: room selection
If you want to choose the right house, you can observe the area location and traffic situation of the house according to your needs, such as taking train from class to class, inconvenient transportation, distance from driving etc.
STEP-2:, look at the house.
If you are not renting a student apartment, it is best to find an experienced friend before renting the apartment. Inconvenient students can find a writing in the evening to provide room-reading services, some foreign students social app people will also be eager to provide help.
STEP-3: works through intermediary channels (or signs itself with landlords): contract & deposit
After looking at the rental, if you like it. Real estate agents or homeowners will ask you to pay a deposit the amount of (Deposit), deposit is generally equivalent to two weeks of room money.
Focus!
Be sure to read every article on the lease (Lease) in detail, especially by modifying and adding additional terms!
The process of formalizing a contract through an intermediary is complex, and when signing a lease, all the prescribed costs must be paid in one go, namely:
- The deposit (Bond) is usually five weeks rent;
- The lease fee (Lease Fee) is paid to the broker or lawer;
- Stamp duty (Stamp Duty) is the tax levied by government;
- Prepaid rent, usually for the first month.
If you sign a contract with your landlord, you can save a lot of steps on how to pay a deposit and a deposit to negotiate with each other, but before you build full trust with the landlord, it is proposed that Bond be handed over to RTBA, the government unit that collects housing deposits. If the landlord refuses to offer, it is best to choose to rent a new house or sign a written guarantee that Bond will be returned.
The lease must be in duplicate. Tenants must pay attention to their own collection. Pay attention to the payment of rent with a receipt and a deposit receipt, as well as the deposit number stored in RTBA.
STEP-4: check in
In general, check-in will be filled with a Checklist that contains the use of the furniture and the house decoration.
Students must carefully check the use of house, the little sister here suggested that you can take pictures of the situation of house, such as whether the wall is clean, whether there are cracks, carpet defects, and so on. Avoid some black-hearted landlords who may deduct Bond. when they check out because of a scratch on the wall.
I hope you can find your favorite house in the new semester!
