mrbradley1 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi, We're moving in January and would welcome thoughts what is included in a unfurnished accommodation in terms of renting. Basically will there be washing machine, or do we need to fetch ours over? Obviously I know furniture wouldn't be included. Curtain poles? Curtains etc. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Bungo Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There will be some variation. Typically white goods are not included, although our landlord left a fridge freezer simply because they used to live there themselves and didn't want to take it with them on their overseas move.

srg73 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 You will need white goods. Essentially you rent the property which includes the property, floor finishes, curtains, blinds etc and any fitted furniture including kitchen, bathrooms and robes if built in. To kitchen oven, sink and hob will be included. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Some of our properties have dishwashers, none have washing machines. One has a surround sound cinema system and a separate large screen TV. I would imagine this is fairly unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'd say it varies from state to state. In NSW, properties must have a way to dry clothes - which means if there's no outside space, it must have a tumble drier. You have to supply fridge, washing machine etc. Modern apartments often have a dishwasher built in, but built-in fridges are rare so you'll probably have to supply your own. In Melbourne it seems that white goods aren't included at all, except for the odd dishwasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The only items ive known left in unfurnished rentals are dishwashers. All other items/ furniture you will need to provide, bear in mind most have built in wardrobes so your safe there. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabonita Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 ours has an oven and dishwasher. Most have built in wardrobes, ours didn't but they left 2 wardrobes for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Priscilla101 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Be careful with the online pics. I've found beautiful pictures of lovely looking houses online. I go visit the property and the rotten wood Windows, thread bear carpets and rot everywhere make you wonder where the online pic came from. But I only found built in cookers left in (but not always). It does depend on your budget as well, more expensive high rise appartments which are newer will have more built in stuff. Old units/ houses aren't always well cared for - Melbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aconcannon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 We live in a rented property & all it came with was a dishwasher, an oven & a tumble dryer. We've got friends who rent in w different suburb & their apartment came with a washing machine & a fridge too so I think it varies massively based on where you're renting & what you're paying per werk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
