Some time ago, we reported that a man who called himself "Andrew James" intended to take possession of a million-dollar house in Sydney under a law called "reverse usurpation". According to the law, if you live in a house for a certain number of years without interference with the owner, you can apply to the court to be the owner of the house.
But it sounds pretty good-you can get a house for nothing without a penny-but it doesn't make sense and it's difficult to implement.
Therefore, the editor today to introduce to you a few reasonable and legal, comfortable living and free rental measures, everyone quickly come to see!
House-sitting, not only saves money, but also earns money!
Asking people to look after their homes and pets while out has become an increasingly popular way to go, so the market for house-sitting has emerged. In recent years, many young people in Australia who plan to buy a house have chosen to save up their money in the way of house-sitting-not only to live in big houses for free, but also to earn money. Why not?
Nicole Sundin is a house sitter, who has been looking after homes for others since 2013 in an effort to buy her own house early. She moved 17 times in two years, and although the lifestyle was a bit uncertain and drifting around, on the other hand, not only did she experience life in different suburbs, she also saved $31,200 in this way. It's nice to kill two birds with one stone!
2. To be roommates with old people living alone, and to be mutually beneficial!
With the increasing aging of Australia's population, pension has become a more and more serious social problem. To help older people living alone and mobility impaired, Australia's goverment has implemented a nationwide homeshare program. The young people involved in the project live with the elderly in need, providing them with some living assistance, such as cleaning houses, cooking, buying daily necessities, and so on, in return. Young people can live in the old man's house without spending a penny. This way can not only free young people from the burden of rent, but also let the elderly "old people to rely on", this is called mutual assistance, mutual benefit!
3. Self-use of electricity, energy conservation and environmental protection, but also save money!
With house prices rising and the environment deteriorating, many Australians have opted for a self-sufficient lifestyle-off the grid to provide daily electricity demand from solar power. It is said that this way can save a lot of money!
Jill Redwood, a cartoonist, writer and environmentalist, has been a self-sufficient lifestyle since 1983. She spent less than $3000 to build a house of her own, daily electricity from the solar energy, daily water from nearby rivers, usually eat food is her own. This way, she says, is not only environmentally friendly, but also has little money to spend every day, often saving money!
However, this approach seems to be more difficult to operate, the student party and office workers seem to have conditions to do so, it does not matter, we have the next move!
4. Christmas, not only the goods are on sale, but also the house is on sale!
Because in Christmas / New year's time, everybody is busy preparing the New year ah, the examination, the year-end summary, and so on, there is no time to look for a house, rent a house, therefore, the usual hot rental market becomes cold and cold at this time. In order to rent the house as soon as possible, homeowners will offer "Christmas rent". For example, part of the rent, or rent discount, and so on, at this time rental, absolutely can save a large amount of money!
5. Brisbane, a place to save your rent!
Because there are so many new homes built within five kilometers of CBD in Brisbane and the rental market is in excess of demand, many landlords have not only issued the slogan "one month rent free" in order to attract tenants. And also offered a variety of other preferential terms, such as the house to provide free iPad for tenants to use, free to help tenants move, and so on. In other words, in Brisbane, if you rent a place every six months, you can save two months of rent a year, isn't it a good deal?
