Factors to Consider

Factors To Consider

When choosing a place to stay at, here are a few factors you need to consider:

  • How much is the rent per week?
  • How much is the bond?
  • Does the rent include utilities?
  • Is the place furnished or unfurnished?
  • If sharing a place, who are your housemates? Are they students? Male or female? How old are they?
  • Is there a contract outlining the terms and conditions of your rental agreement? Have you read and understood it?
  • What’s the duration of the lease? Are there any penalties for ending the lease early?
  • How far is it from your campus? Is it accessible via public transport?
  • Is it close to grocery stores, shopping centres and other amenities?
  • Is it safe? What are the neighbouring suburbs?
  • If you’re under 18 years of age, restrictions on where you can stay apply.
  • Have you checked with your education provider?
  • Have you inspected the place in person? Be aware of rental scams and never send money from overseas without first checking out the place
