Tips when searching for private accommodation

• Never give anyone any money for a property you haven’t inspected (inside and out)
• There are laws that protect you as a tenant in NSW
• It’s good to take a friend to inspect a property
• Beware of scams. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• Make sure you sign a Share Housing Agreement or the Standard Residential Tenancy Agreement issued by NSW Fair Trading
• Take time to consider different suburbs as prices, size and quality vary with location. Review this helpful suburb overview map
• Being close to public transport is very helpful in Sydney
• Make sure you understand the tenancy agreement before you sign
