pls help!! do i need a guarantor if I am a new migrant who wants to rent a house?

chinky

Hi guys..me and my family (my husband and our baby girl) will be coming to AU on Dec 2014. I hope to rent a property say for one month muna. How do I go about this? Since wala pa naman akong work, will there be landlords willing to rent their property to me? Doon na kami maghahanap while staying cguro for 2 days in a serviced apartment upon arrival. We plan to stay in Sydney..pls help guys! thanks so much!

hello Chinky, it is harder, especially 1 month lang ang gusto nyo and wala pa kayo rito, but its not impossible.

You can use this forum to look for kababayans who'd be renting out their house, or go to flatmates.com.au; gumtree.com.au, realestate.com.au and bnb.com.au.

Good luck, and congrats!

@bevelled Hi! Thanks for your inputs!! depende rin if minimum 3 months lease cguro susubukan namin kc no choice na din..praying na lg na we can find work as soon as we get there.

For a normal property you cannot do a 1 month lease, 6 months is the minimum, kung pinoy possible

check mo mga service apartment for short stay.

@ chinky

any reason kung bakit dec 2014 ang punta nyo? reason I asked... mas mahirap makahanap ng work in the month of december.. most of the companies kasi will be on Christmas break on starting 4th week of December then the 2nd week of January na ang balik.. unless na lang kung mag odd jobs muna kayo..

for planning purposes.. i would suggest na i forecast nyo na 3 - 6 months bago makakuha ng work.. kung mapaaga yung work... mas ok.. pero kung madelay.. at least ready kayo..

JCsantos

Agree with the post above, palipasin nyo muna pasko at bagong taon sa pinas baka nadagdag sa frustration nyo
