Living in Australia
Rented accommodation has traditionally been in short supply in most major cities, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne.
- The shortage of rental properties has seen a predictable increase in rents.
- Most properties in Australian cities are let through agents.
- Always dress smartly when visiting properties or agents’ offices in order to create a good impression.
- When registering with an agent, you need two forms of identification, written references from your employer and/or previous landlord, and character references.
- Agents usually contact all referees and may ask why you left your previous accommodation.
