Re: Renting in Melbourne
I just saw that post.
I would be wary, you have only been here 5 mins, and the agent probably knows that
Bet a local would not take it for 2 years, they would know you move on you have to keep paying the rent or find them someone to take over the lease. Hence why I was saying we needed a 6 month lease.
In our first year here, we changed State once, areas 3 times and there were a few flounces where someone or other was going back to UK. all very unpredictable.

Sorted the house problem guys, we've got it for 12 months. I think they were just trying their luck with the newbies to the country.
