Handy tips to rent a unit!


It has been a semester since you started university, and living on university accommodation is not a viable option anymore. It may be too expensive; your housemates might be too noisy; your roommate is just too dirty; whatever your reason is, your time has come to move out to a place you can truly call home..

#1 Choose the unit you want to rent from your local realty agency.





#2 Pay careful attention to your tenancy criteria
This is a very important step since you are fighting a bunch of other applicants for the unit. Every individual that would be living in the unit will need to include a copy of their own application documents (i.e., 3 person unit, 3 application documents). Also, make sure there are sufficient funds in your bank account to increase your chances!

#3 Pay your bond immediately if your application is successful
Upon confirmation of your application, pay your bond right away (amount differs based on rental fee). Make sure your bond payment is paid to a specific account, not your agency/landlord’s personal account!






#4 Internet/electricity provider

Select your internet/electricity provider carefully. Some providers charge extra fees upon signing up (e.g., installation/registration fees), make sure you choose the most affordable one by comparing different providers before signing up. Lastly, remember to read your contract carefully to avoid liquidated damages.
