Most international students, including their families, are most concerned about safety. After all, safety comes first when you are away from home.

But first of all, you have to be clear about a concept, there is no absolutely safe area, only a relatively safe area. When renting a house in Sydney, I suggest you choose the north and the east. Even if you live in the south and west, you should choose large areas and central towns.

In Sydney, it is best to avoid choosing some areas with relatively poor public security, such as Auburn, Campesi, Bankstown and glanville.

2. The problem of regional selection

For students who have just arrived in Sydney, everything is so strange. It is even more difficult to rent a house in such a strange city. Let's first look at the characteristics of various regions in Sydney.

Southern District: The Southern District of Sydney is a gathering place for Chinese. Many foreign students from China who have just come to study in Sydney will choose to live in the South District, such as Hurstivlle and kogarah, which are the first choice areas for foreign students. The housing price in the southern district is relatively low, the consumption level in this area is relatively popular and the transportation is convenient.

West and Inner West: Burwood, Ashfield, Auburn and Rhodes are all suburbs that international students like.

East District: The East District is mainly inhabited by UNSW students. Belonging to the traditional old district, it has a good living environment and good public security. The more popular districts are Kingsford, Landwick, Maruba, Zetland and Kenningston, but the rent is relatively expensive.

North District: The traditional rich area, the public security is generally good. China people like to live in Chatsworth, Gordon, Epping, Eastwood and Hornsby. The rent prices in this area are different, which should be judged according to the actual situation.

3. Landlord problem

Renting a house is really lucky to meet a good landlord. When you meet a bad landlord, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Generally speaking, when renting a house in Sydney, the landlord and tenant sign a contract for at least half a year. During the signing and effective period of the contract, the owner has no right to adjust and terminate the contract in advance.

Before signing a contract, you must read any terms in the contract carefully. If you don't look carefully, ambiguous sentences really appear, and the landlord may find problems in these sentences, and finally deduct your deposit at will and increase the rent at will. This really happened.

4. Second landlord problem

The problem of subletting is actually the problem of "second landlord". Everyone knows that the second landlord rents the house to the tenant. Even if you want a house in short rent, you must find a formal institution or a reliable landlord. Never find a second landlord.

Because first of all, when you rent a house from the second landlord, you can't be sure of the authenticity and reliability of the housing information. If the second landlord earns you more money from the middle, you don't know. If the second landlord suddenly disappears, you don't know who to complain to. Therefore, even in short rent, we should rent houses through formal channels.

5. Roommate problem

In Kan Kan, when it comes to roommates, usually taciturn students talk about this topic. After all, wonderful roommates have a great influence on everyone. Studying in Sydney and renting a house by yourself is too stressful, so many people choose to share it with others. It is naturally good to share with familiar friends who travel together, but if there is no one to travel with, you need to find a roommate to share with.

Finding a roommate is a key issue, because your roommate is a person who gets along with you day and night. If your living habits and sanitary habits are very different, it will be really troublesome and there will be many bad things. Therefore, finding a reliable roommate is also an important part of renting a house.

Step 6 look at the house

See the house on the spot, see the house on the spot, see the house on the spot, say the important things three times! It's really important to see the house on the spot. Many times, when you rent a house, you look at it through photos.

Students who have the ability must go to see the house in person, or find familiar people to help you see the house, because some black-hearted intermediaries and landlords will cheat you with photos, and the things promised in the photos are another scene when they arrive at the scene, so they must go to the scene to see the house before signing the contract, so as to avoid any problems in the future.

7. Contract issues

After everything is confirmed, the most important step is to sign a rental contract. Before signing the lease contract, you should read every clause in the contract carefully. You should always remember that we are not native English readers, so there will be some problems in understanding. You can search for a sample rental contract in Sydney on Google now, read it carefully, and have a good idea.

Before signing the contract, you can ask professionals to take a look at it for you, such as experienced seniors, professional lawyers, or staff of some schools or specialized student guidance centers.

Therefore, everyone must make sure that every clause in the contract is all right. If you have any objection, you must raise it with the landlord or intermediary to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
