Russ1976 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 My wife and I, along with our two dogs, will be looking to rent a property for a month from early to mid October. Ideally with a secure garden, it needn’t be big, 1-2 bedrooms and close proximity to Hobart, no more than a 20 minute drive. We are relocating from the UK, and can provide references etc. Please DM if you have any property available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you are aware the rental market in Hobart is crazy competitive, potentially 1 month might not be long enough to find somewhere, particularly if you have pets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirBnb or look at one of the House Swap websites. 20 minute drive covers a very wide area so you shouldn't have too much trouble, even with the current shortage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even here in Devonport there isn't much decent stuff for sale and the properties that are really worth looking at are over the top expensive.

Ausvisitor Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 When we came over we needed accomodation for 6 weeks before moving into our rental. We were perfect rental candidates, no specific location need, only one bed, no real budget constraint and no animals. We were looking in Sydney so not TAS but the issue around availability seems common everywhere right now. Probably the most important question for you is you say 2 dogs, now 2 well behaved schitzu are very different to 2 boisterous full grown dobermans (you get the picture).I'm not sure anyone would be keen to rent a property in good condition for just a month to a family with 2 large dogs, for a year or longer with a good deposit then maybe but too much risk for a small rental return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AltyMatt Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 you might want to consider kennels for the dogs while finding a long term rental / purchase. There should be loads of options for kennels and it might open up a few more options for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, Sorry if my comment was obvious. Everyone told us it would be impossible to find a rental when we arrived, we'd need to slip $200 in the application blah blah but our experience wasn;t too bad if we are honest as we got the first and only rental we applied for (but the rental we got was an oven in summer and an icebox in winter). good luck, when do you arrive October was it?

Russ1976 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 We arrive around October 21st, a couple of days before we pick our dogs up after their quarantine in Melbourne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is beautiful in the whole of that area. You will also not have had the rain we've had on the north coast. Some of the small towns on rivers are still recovering from flooding though not nearly as bad as the 2016 floods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you like it. Sorry about the weather. Although we haven't had the flooding rain of northern Tassie we've had hardly any sunshine at all this spring - it's the gloomiest I can remember. At least we won't be worrying about bushfires for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have, they arrived on Sunday, a couple of days after us. They were very relaxed and happy. I think we were more excited than they were when we picked them up. The whole process was managed superbly by PetAir, no problems at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, the weather is no bother for us, it certainly doesn’t detract from a beautiful area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - just didn't want to use the common Aussie greeting "Suppose it reminds you of home?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
