1. Safety issues

What most international students, including their families, are most concerned about is safety. After all, they are going out and safety comes first.

But first, one concept you need to understand is that there is no absolutely safe area, only relatively safe areas. When choosing a location for renting in Sydney, it is recommended that you choose the north and east districts. Even if you live in the south and west districts, you should also choose large areas and central towns.

In Sydney, it is best to avoid areas with relatively poor security, such as Auburn, Campusie, Bankstown and Granville.

2. The problem of regional selection

For students who have just arrived in Sydney, everything is so strange. It is extremely difficult to rent an apartment in such a strange city. Let’s first take a look at the characteristics of each area in Sydney.

Southern District: The Southern District of Sydney is a gathering place for Chinese. Many Chinese students who have just arrived in Sydney to study will choose to live in the Southern District, such as Hurstivlle, kogarah, etc., which are the areas preferred by international students. The Southern District The housing prices are not high in comparison, the consumption level in this area is also relatively popular, and the transportation is very convenient.

Western and Inner West: Burwood, Ashfield, Auburn, and Rhodes are all popular Suburbs for international students.

Eastern District: The Eastern District is mainly populated by UNSW students. It is a traditional old district with better living environment and public security. The more popular districts include Kingsford, Randwick, Marouba, Zetland, and Keningston, but the rent Relatively expensive.

North District: a traditional wealthy area with generally good public security. The places where Chinese like to live are Chatswood, Gordon, Epping, Eastwood and Hornsby. The rent prices in this area vary from high to low, and should be judged based on the actual situation.

3. Landlord problem

When you meet a good landlord when renting a house, you are really lucky. If you meet a bad landlord, you can only accept it as bad luck. In Sydney Renting is generally a contract signed between the landlord and the tenant for at least six months. During the period when the contract is signed and effective, the landlord has no right to adjust or terminate the contract early.

Be sure to carefully read every clause in the contract before signing it. If you don’t read it carefully and there are really ambiguous statements, the landlord may find problems with these statements. In the end, they arbitrarily deduct your deposit and increase the rent arbitrarily. This situation has really happened.

4. Second landlord problem

The problem of subletting is actually "second landlord". Everyone must know that second landlord means that the tenant rents the house to the tenant, even if he wants to When renting a house short-term, you must find a formal agency or a reliable landlord, and never look for a second landlord.

Because when renting a house from a second landlord, you cannot be sure of the authenticity and reliability of the house information. If the second landlord makes extra money from you, you have no way of knowing. Suddenly disappears and you don’t know who to go to complain to. Therefore, even if it is a short-term rental, you must go through formal rental channels.
