trabonita Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hi We will be renting in the Central Coast NSW. Just wondering if it is common to have fridge/freezer etc included like it is in the UK? Also how difficult is it to secure a rental without a job? We will have savings but neither of us are likely to have jobs when we arrive, has anyone found this a problem? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 In my experience, the only white goods you'll get in a rental is the tumble dryer. The lack of a job won't be that important as agents will appreciate you've only just arrived. If you were renting in the UK then make sure you get a reference from your landlord/agent as that will carry a lot of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabonita Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thank you. Who chooses the tennant though, the agent or the landlord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've rented in Victoria and Queensland and dealt with numerous agents and I've never seen white goods left in a rental, the closest is a dishwasher and obviously the oven.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thank you. Who chooses the tennant though, the agent or the landlord? The agent will have some say but it is suppose to be the choice of the owner. Just make sure you present yourself well at the inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thank you. Who chooses the tennant though, the agent or the landlord? Theoretically the landlord gets final say - but the landlord won't see you, so they will rely on the agent's recommendation more than anything.

srg73 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Realistically the agent chooses the tenant on the landlords behalf. They will not recommend to the landlord somebody they do not like or trust. Turn up early to viewings, chat pleasantly with the agent and always spend a decent amount of time viewing questions.....be positive. White goods, usually you provide fridge, freezer and washing machine, everything else supplied. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If you don't have job offers, print off a copy of a healthy bank account so the agent knows you have funds to pay the rent until you secure a job. Offering a couple of months upfront may help too. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We rented when we first moved, neither of us had jobs, didn't have any problem getting a rental, just showed a copy of our bank statements showing we had enough funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We paid the first six months rent, and they had no issues with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebloggs Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Usually just a dishwasher if lucky, if the property has a clothes line then there is no obligation to supply a clothes dryer. Most apartments will have a clothes dryer as there are rules about hanging clothes on balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
