Typically, rental properties are unfurnished and require a one-year lease – which can often be extended.
Most properties are advertised on rental sites such as realestate.com.au, domain.com.au and rent.com.au, along with times to inspect the property and the weekly rental price.
It’s important to keep in mind that inspection times are usually 10 to 15 minutes long and are more crowded on weekends than during the week.
There are more than 800,000 real estate agents across Australia.
