    Hello po ulit! Helpful po un document ni Era as big move checklist. 🥰

    Question lang po - nabasa ko kasi doon na un pagkuha ng rent, meron requirements:
    Physical inspection
    • A cover letter
    • Tenancy record
    • Proof of employment (e.g. contract, job offer)
    • Proof of income or dnancial capacity (e.g. payslips, bank statements)
    • Proof of your identity
    • Referrals

    Since bago lang kami sa AU, first time namin mag rent, baka di kami maka provide ng tenancy records 😅

    Ok lang ba un? Ano po un usually pinapakita sa mga landlords pag galing outside AU?

    Ito yung document ni era. Legacy sabi nga ni @casssie haha. May specific dyan to NSW, so yung sa VIC iresearch mo nalang. Meron din dyan if departing ka from PH.

    Mostly naman info dito is for overall Australia. Some stuff specific to NSW, research nlng ng counterpart for Victoria. Generally di naman nagkakalayo.

    Maraming salamat!
    Btw, anyone po departing or departed from Singapore? 🙌🏻🙏

    I nominate @_sebodemacho haha

    Haha! > @lack14 said:

    thank you po sa pagreply. family of 3 po from manila po ang departure namin. planning po kasi na mag ceb pac kami kasi sobrang layo po ng prices and direct flight to melbourne po sya pero ang estimated time of arrival po nung flight is 12:05AM po. ask ko lang po if may mga nabo book po ba na transpo in case para po sa transfer form aiport to airbnb/rental? thanks po sa makakasagot.

    Yup, there's Uber, DiDi and Ola. Just make sure you enter your address sa destination and you have internet connection. There should be taxis lining up din. Note that car shares like Uber wont let kids inside without a car seat or booster, depende sa age and height. But taxis are exempt from this rule (dont ask me why and how).

    The best option I think is join an FB group for Pinoys in Melbourne, Sydney or whichever state you are heading. May mga for hire dun that you can ask how much, including arrangements such as car seats, etc a few days before your arrival date. Just post something and check their profile to be sure they're legit.

    Up ko po ito thread na ito. Nabasa ko online, meron na Uber with car seat. Totoo po ba ito? 😃 Traveling soon with 15 months old baby 🙌🏻 Sana meron pa magreply sakin! 🙏

    Hi @newhorizonseeker share ko lang experience namin sa paghahanap ng bahay dito sa Dubbo NSW. Sa case namin sobrang nahirapan kaming makahanap ng house so ang ginawa ko is naghanap ako ng group sa FB na malapit dun sa place na gusto namin puntahan then sabihin nyo naghahanap kayo ng house for rent or kahit shared house muna. So may tumulong naman saming mga pinoy hanggang sa nagka full time work kami parehas ng misis ko (buntis at that time). Tapos dun kami naghanap ng bahay para mas madaling iprovide ang mga ibang requirements. Naka 8 physical inspection din ako lahat yung refuse, hangang sa tinulungan ulit kami ng pinoy at nag send ng email sa Elders (real state) then ayun hinanapan kami ng bahay at dun na kami nakapagpa-rent ng bahay and until now nandito pa din kami.

    Real estate agents/landlords are generally understanding on this from a new migrant's POV. But if they asked you for any contacts of previous agents (if any, even overseas), then provide them those.

    Again, IF you still got contact with your previous agents in SG, AND IF also they allowed you to share their contacts with your AU agent. Consent is important. :)

    That happened to us. My AU agent did contact my previous SG agent with consent, to fill out some survey forms about their experience with us as tenants. It's like when you are applying for a job, a character reference.

    Then wala. :) Simply put. Haha. Be honest with the agent, they will surely understand since you are new.

    Hmm, kung ako kasi pag ganyan - di ko na lang ipipilit at all. I wont try to complicate things for myself haha. Kung wala na contact sa owner or walang agent, edi wala. Just be transparent with the AU agent/landlord na lang.

    Basta guys, dont overthink nor overcomplicate things too much pagdating sa referrals na yan. It is just a minor requirement, only if possible to be supplied. Mas mahalaga yung mapakita nyong kaya nyong mag rent, more on financial capacity bilang new migrants. :)

    Hello po ulit! Helpful po un document ni Era as big move checklist. 🥰

    Question lang po - nabasa ko kasi doon na un pagkuha ng rent, meron requirements:
    Physical inspection
    • A cover letter
    • Tenancy record
    • Proof of employment (e.g. contract, job offer)
    • Proof of income or dnancial capacity (e.g. payslips, bank statements)
    • Proof of your identity
    • Referrals

    Since bago lang kami sa AU, first time namin mag rent, baka di kami maka provide ng tenancy records 😅

    Ok lang ba un? Ano po un usually pinapakita sa mga landlords pag galing outside AU?

    Real estate agents/landlords are generally understanding on this from a new migrant's POV. But if they asked you for any contacts of previous agents (if any, even overseas), then provide them those.

    Again, IF you still got contact with your previous agents in SG, AND IF also they allowed you to share their contacts with your AU agent. Consent is important. :)

    That happened to us. My AU agent did contact my previous SG agent with consent, to fill out some survey forms about their experience with us as tenants. It's like when you are applying for a job, a character reference.

    Pano po kaya if wala agent or kahit yung owner di namin makuhanan ng letter. Pwede kaya sa housemate namin (main tenant) kumuha ng referral letter? May nakagawa na kaya nito?

    Hmm, kung ako kasi pag ganyan - di ko na lang ipipilit at all. I wont try to complicate things for myself haha. Kung wala na contact sa owner or walang agent, edi wala. Just be transparent with the AU agent/landlord na lang.

    Basta guys, dont overthink nor overcomplicate things too much pagdating sa referrals na yan. It is just a minor requirement, only if possible to be supplied. Mas mahalaga yung mapakita nyong kaya nyong mag rent, more on financial capacity bilang new migrants. :)

    Thanks for this! Nakaka-positive 🙏 share ko lang din, nalaman ko in case wala referral from previous landlords, pwede din character reference kunwari siguro someone na nasa AU na, like friends or relatives or previous housemates 😃

    How to tell if magrerent ka direct from landlord vs nagpapa sublet lang?

    At kung legal bang ipasublet or hindi yung property/room? Para iwas scam.

    Or any red flags when looking for a house.

    Hi sir, kamusta BM prep nyo po?

    Okay naman po so far. Right now focusing on getting a job while overseas to make the move easier.

    Since March, I already got 3 interviews, and I don’t wanna jinx it, pero one is looking really great, they already asked for my visa details and called some of my references.

    Pero ito nga po, it is in regional NSW, so I’m asking here if anybody knows someone from that area. Would like to connect with them to ask for sharehouse accommodation and check the Filipino community.
