Renting a House / Property in Australia

Unurnished Rentals

The property rental market in Australia is not very flexlible.

Unfurnished Properties are usually only available for stays of 6 months or more.

Landlords frequently require you to sign a tenancy agreement that will last 12 months.

Yyou should expect an "unfurnished" rental to be equipped with at least a cooker.

Rental properties are advertised by many real-estate agents and can be found in local newspapers.

Adding to the expense of renting is the bond. Nearly all landlords will require you to pay a bond worth 4 weeks rent. The bond is deposited with the State and, assuming you do not damage the property, is returned at the end of your tenancy.

Furnished, Long Term Rentals

Furnished rentals are not common in Australia.
