First Time Renting

First Time Renting

The amazing feeling of independence that you experience when you move out of your parents’ home and start to live on your own could be lost when you are not happy with the place you end up living in. Renting is the first thing to do when you want to live on your own. The process of renting a home, an apartment or a small room could seem very simple, but it isn’t. The process entails a lot of formalities, which you should know to ensure that your stay in your chosen place is peaceful and without hassles.

What You Need To Consider

Moving into a rental property is an expensive exercise, and you need to ensure you have sufficient funds available to relieve stress

So, what do you need, or to consider:

  • Your first 2 weeks rent when you sign the lease;
  • Four weeks bond (in some states it may be more);
  • Time to get the electricity, phone, gas connected;
  • A hire truck to move your possessions;
  • Contents insurance to protect your possessions;
  • Rent that will be due in 2 weeks’ time (you will be surprised how quickly time passes).
  • Re-direct your mail to your new address

For first time renters, the whole process can be intimidating. Professionals can guide you through every step of the process and make renting for the first time a pleasant experience.
