RENTING IN PERTH

A high percentage of Perth residents are home owners. Consequently the supply of family rental properties is limited and as 85% of rental properties are let within one to two weeks of coming onto the market, you will need to act quickly to secure the property of your choice. Standard leases are for 6 -12 months.

One of the most attractive things about relocating to Perth is the incredible affordability of housing. If you're lucky, you can secure a modern four bedroom home with evening views of the sun setting over the Indian Ocean, for less than $1000 per week! Prices get even lower as you move inland.

The majority of rental properties are unfurnished. Some estate agents can arrange to have a home furnished for you, or you can choose to rent as an economical alternative to buying furniture. There are a number of furniture rental companies in Perth.

We recommend you leave white goods, such as washing machines, and other electrical items at home, as most international appliances are not compatible in Australia. Rental, or inexpensive purchase is better option.
