lissyqq Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hi All My husband has been given a 489 visa for Queensland and we are due to move out on 27th June. As he has no work lined up yet, will this hold us up in applying for rentals. I have found us somewhere to stay for the first month but will need to start looking for rentals as soon as we get there. He will also be looking for work straight away but just wondered if this may cause problems if he doesn't get work straightaway? Thanks is advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calNgary Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You don't have to have a job to get a rental, the agents only concern is you can pay the rent, so submitting a copy of a healthy bank account should be enough. You can also include a covering letter explaining your new to the country and currently job seeking. Lots of luck with everything Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissyqq Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Oh thank you Calngary yes we will have a healthy account to keep us going until we find work, hopefully my hubby will get something pretty quick but was unsure if they allowed you to rent until you have proof of earning. Is it pretty easy to get rental as I've heard a few horror stories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Its a lot easier than it used to be but it can all depend on area. When you know what area you want to live in, keep looking on realestate.com (click latest listings) to see whats about and its also worth trying to 'befriend' a few local agents.
