We had to move AGAIN! How renting works in Australia | Home Tour 

Wow, thank you!😁

It used to be possible in 2019 and before. After the ridiculous covid lockdowns the demand for property went crazy and prices almost doubled white pay did not double. I think poverty caused by lockdowns will kill more people in the end than the virus!

Not just oz Canada is the same

@@jameshanlon5470 The US and UK too.

It's not just Australia, it's largely English speaking countries like Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US. It can be tough also in other parts of the world like Portugal relative to locals there. But in Belgium there are rent controls so the issue is less severe

doesn't australia have like a welfare system where the poor people in need will get some money from the government for food & rent?

Take me with you to Aus.

Good on you. Sounds like a good plan.

You'll still need to show the previous tax assessment notice before beginning the mortgage application, so it looks like you'll still need to rent unless you're paying 100%.

I think she said she wanted to buy out right. Good luck with that plan in a few years. I think she's planning to win the lottery.

Hello procyonAlpha, please how did you go about your Australia registration. I would appreciate any information on how a newly qualified mental health nurse can go about the process. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Chi!

Turns out I don't even miss the old house. I fell in love with the new rental. Thank you for stopping by.

Ah, thank you o. It was made even more stressful by the fact that we had no prior plans to move.

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much! I actually now love this house more than I did the previous.

Her composure, calmness, attention to detail and articulation are unmatched compared to others on this app.

Aww thanks, Linda.

Thank you! I cheered up soon after 😊

So glad you found me😊Welcome! I hope all your plans work out for you.

Thank you for watching🙏

You are so right, sis. Perspective is everything. Thank you.

Thank you.

Welcome!

Thank you. Your comment made me laugh😁

But that's a film already, check out the intro with the costume. Not forgetting when he invited the camera to a house tour

It's the absolute worst when you have a hard deadline and are unable to find a place. I can only imagine the anxiety.

Thanks. As for starting a business, all you need is to set up an Australian Business Number (ABN) which is a straightforward process online and free of charge. I have an old video about setting up my e-commerce store ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9dJe4L-UDOg.html. Goodluck!

@@lifewithchioma Awesome, will check it out ❤ Thanks!

😂 The way you started your video is quite comical. Loved it 😆

Oh, you suggested everything that I eventually did😊We replaced the oven ourselves as the landlord was clear they would not change it. I absolutely love the house now. Thank you!

You can definitely report to the rental tribunal as it is your right to be notified. We just were not interested and found it quicker to get out. Plus we negotiated a rent reduction with the landlord eventually and also demanded for the notice period obligation on us to be waived.

Thank you so much!

That's one way to look at it too. Thanks!

Thanks!!

Good to know. Thank you

My friend has a house in Sydney valued at $3m, and its a Sh*t hole.... like you buy a house for $1m and its not habitable.

Many people ended up in severe mortgage distress due to the relentless interest rate hikes. I am not surprised that people are working multiple jobs to buy or afford their mortgage.

@@victoryefenure138We might have to move to Beverly Hills soon to find something more affordable.

I linked a video in the description which offers some tips on how to navigate the requirements for renting if you're a newcomer. I hope it helps. Some landlords accept pets.

We offered $30 more. In my area, it's a little better than covid times in relation to availability. Affordability though, is a whole other story

Thank you. You may find this playlist helpful with regard to your PR question. I am not sure what PCIDSS means unfortunately

It was a nice house, but I have come to love the one we're in and surprisingly, I don't even miss the old one at all. But yes, you can change houses at any time. If you're breaking your lease early, you will pay a penalty but otherwise, you're free to leave whenever you like.

Please see the video I linked in the description. It offers some helpful tips. Goodluck!

It does and you also have ways to seek redress. We however, were not interested in pursuing that process and eventually negotiated a few terms with the landlord that we were happy with.

There is no stipulated time. The landlord can chose to sell at any time, or you decide to end your tenancy at any time.

Okay thanks ..

Yes, but there are ways to get around it as a newcomer. Please see the video linked in the description re: the housing crisis. I offer tips for newcomers in that video.

@@lifewithchioma ok thanks. I will check it out.

Not difficult. We're just taking a different route to home ownership, so will continue to rent for a while.

@lifewithchioma l like the way you explain things. Can you make a video about how to buy a house.We also saving a deposit, would like to know what to expect

I believe these homes are a deal compared to where I live in the U.S. I live an hour outside of Washington D.C. in the middle of nowhere. My neighbors are renting one bedrooms inside their homes for $2,000. Renting a single family home is much more. I guess Sydney is cheap compared to America.

@@williampizzi7402 You have to be a MORON to pay over $2000/mo to rent anything!! You get *** ZERO *** equity by doing this!!!!!! Renting for $500-1000/mo is one thing. But paying $2k/mo to help somebody else pay their mortgage is LUDACRIS!!! These people seriously need to have their heads examined! As soon as my landlord told me that he was going to raise my rent 10% per year, I immediately went out and put $8k down on a 3 bedroom house using FHA financing.

We not suppose to supply bank statements.

We will, soon. Thanks

You usually need a big deposit to get a mortgage. Many people who rent can't save to get a deposit. Also, banks are much stricter these days in how much they lend out to people 👍 We're very grateful we got into the property market back when we did. Renting or buying in these times is much harder.

Oh in our case it was as good as getting kicked out. Same day we got the email about the landlord intending to sell, was the same day the selling agent came knocking. Very next day he arrived with painters and we slept in a house inhaling fresh paint fumes. Next came carpet cleaners who moved furniture outside to the backyard while I was out and left it there. I ended up with a back injury that kept me away from work for days. Home stager, cleaners, photographer, electrician etc coming and going everyday. A week's notice at the very least would have been appreciated. We made the decision to move pretty much on the spot because it was getting a bit much. Added to all of these, the existing property manager was holding some beef because the landlord decided to use another agency for the sale and we realised we were about to be caught in the middle of a fight that had nothing to do with us so we had to move.

@@lifewithchioma They can't do that, take them to the tribunal, in NSW you get 30 days notice, the only thing they did when same thing happened to us was they needed photos otherwise we had exactly 30 days to vacate, that's it! NSW Gov fair trading has all the info, check the state you're in for a similar gov website and find out how to sue them.

@@lifewithchiomaThey cant do that, unless you agreed to a rent reduction or made some kind of deal.

​@@maverick7323You're a dim-wit.

We know. Whites don't clean.

She wouldn't be in Australia if they didn't beg for nurses to come in and work. Why don't you fill all the shortages instead of complaining?

@@KaeMaiden There are plenty of them in hospitals now from Asia and Africa, but they are incompetent and you can't trust them!!

Happy to hear that!
