Default How long to get rental sorted?

Hi everyone

I was wondering if you could help me?

We're landing in Brisbane on 6th Feb and hopefully have a holiday let sorted for 4 weeks after arrival. Is this 4 wks a realistic time to find and get a rental property sorted and get moved in? We only need 1 -2 bedroom house/cottage as there's only the 2 of us, but we need a pet friendly place as will have 2 mutts coming out of quarantine!

I'm holding off to finally book the accommodation until I get some help, so 4 wks not set in stone!

Look forward to hearing from you

That's how long we had our holiday let for when we arrived in Perth.

You'd want to start looking from day 1 though and if you were lucky to find something early on - jump at it.

I understand the rental market in Brizzie is almost as tight as in Perth - i.e. local councils putting up tent cities for people who can't find rentals.
