You must keep these points in mind when renting a house in Australia, otherwise you will lose both money and people.

Tick-tock netizen Tao Shiyun is a diligent student party. She has just come to Sydney for a month and just moved out of her first landlord's house. Now I feel that I have a lot of experience to share with you, so I published "One-month Rental Experience in Sydney" in Tick Tick Forum:

My roommate and I were looking for a house in China. It was the former tenant of this room who advertised at that time. Speaking of which, I think the first point is coming:

1. If the renter is a former tenant, be careful!

If it is not because the tenant has moved out before the lease expires and does not help the landlord find the next tenant and does not refund the deposit, there is no need for the tenant to help the landlord find the next tenant.

The reason why you haven't finished the lease is intriguing. The basic reason is that the landlord is not easy to get along with and the house itself has problems. And I don't know why the former tenant helped her find the next tenant until now. I am so scared!

At that time, my roommate and I also believed in the evil of the first two tenants. They made a good statement about the house and made a good promise (these two people are scum, too. We sold the printer without ink at a high price and the used sandwich machine at the original price.

But after moving in, the problem came. The house is burwood's glass room, and the train track is not generally noisy (which is also the main reason why we moved). Moreover, the landlord is very picky, and there are restrictions on electricity and gas. It is sure that we will make the kitchen clean, but she often makes a mess and cooks all kinds of delicious dishes.

Therefore, we should not only listen to the description of the former tenant, but also communicate with the landlord to see the landlord's character. Sometimes former tenants just want to change hands quickly and say anything. After we decide to rent a house, we will pay the former tenant in cash first, and the former tenant will give the cash to the landlord. Another knowledge point is coming, don't do it!

2. In China, the deposit must be paid directly to the landlord!

This will leave evidence of transfer, and the landlord cannot deny it. After the landlord received the money, we asked her to write a receipt, but she refused in every way, saying that we had not come to Sydney yet. . At this time, we felt that there was something wrong with her character.

A few days before we came to Sydney, these two former tenants suddenly told us that the landlord rented two kinds of people, and had to sign a formal lease contract with her and write clearly the terms of the seizure. Oh, my God! Isn't this an obvious lie to us? You paid the deposit, and you suddenly realized it? We once again asked the landlord for a deposit slip through WeChat, but nothing came of it. We decided to make a request after Sydney.

When I arrived in Sydney, I met the landlord and my attitude eased a lot. She signed an agreement with us, not formally, and wrote a deposit slip in Chinese. At this time, another key point came!

3. If you are not satisfied after seeing the house on the spot, you must bring it up immediately! Think of another solution!

My personality is sometimes quite steamed stuffed bun. After reading the train tracks, I thought it would be good to endure for half a year, but I found that I really couldn't stand it! I suggested to the landlord that we could change rooms with her because of the noise (her room is not so noisy), and we were changing rooms. She suddenly got angry and said that she would let us move away like a property raid and give us a refund if she found a tenant. We tried our best to help her find it, but she was also very picky. It's hard to satisfy her anyway. After all, the price of 450 yuan a week makes it hard not to cook.

We were looking for a tenant when suddenly the landlord said that we should pay for the bed in her room. Because we bought a single bed ourselves after we came, she sold the double bed 100 yuan. Now if we move out, there will be no bed in her room. . . I am speechless, too. We had a little argument, because I thought it was ok to make up the difference. After all, we didn't sell 100. But the landlord suddenly turned against her and said that we would not refund the deposit if we moved away (excuse me? ), if you want to stay, you can stay until the expiration (I think this landlord has changed her mind, because what she said before is equivalent to ruining our lease agreement for half a year, and the deposit will be refunded). I am really exhausted. . Even if she doesn't return the rent, I don't want to live under the same roof with such a heartless person.

We looked for a house in the middle, and then we found a house and moved in. At this time, there are still three weeks before the rent we pay is due. We told her in advance that we were moving out, and we wanted to discuss the deposit and the extra rent later. On the day she moved out, neither the deposit nor the rent was refunded, nor was the key deposit (we paid the key deposit 150 yuan, a total of ***300 yuan)! ! ! The reason is that there is no bed in the room, so I want to buy a bed. ) But the key is not damaged or lost. . . This old aunt played a joke on me. . Isn't it enough for her to deduct the difference in bed from the deposit and the overpaid rent? I know where I made a mistake. After all, we didn't have a full lease contract in the end, but the landlord's approach was too unkind.

Alas, I vomited so much, the most important thing is:

4. Be sure to look at the character of the landlord! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This is too important! ! ! ! ! ! ! If you want to rent burwood's glass room recently and don't want to be restricted and monitored like a prison every day, all kinds of deposits will be deducted at last, so keep your eyes open and don't look for this landlord's house.

Let's spit out the landlord.
