1. RENT AN APARTMENT/UNIT/HOUSE (costs are an indication only):
Renting your own apartment or house through a Real Estate Agent or a private landlord offers students
privacy and independence. Most rental properties are unfurnished so initial setting up costs can include
rent, food, telephone calls, gas and/or electricity for 12 months. (You may also need to buy furniture and
other household goods). A bond will usually need to be paid before you move in.
Weekly rent:
• Flat/ Apartment: one bedroom – A$120 – A$250
• Flat/ Apartment: two bedroom – A$170 – A$350
• House: allow A$80 – A$150 per person
When you share a flat, apartment or house everyone shares the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and living
rooms. You have your own bedroom.
