Migrants struggle to find accommodation in Perth

Migrants finding the accommodation search difficult

If you've recently moved to Perth for work, or to settle down, finding permanent accommodation close to the city is proving difficult. Even apartments in the city have a very low vacancy rate, so you have some stiff competition when applying for a rental.

We've found recently (at least, at Limnios Property Group) that one in three applications for rentals are from migrants or people from out of state, and they might not have the rental history in WA to get that rental.

There are plenty of rentals in the outer Perth suburbs, so keep that in mind, however if you intend to use public transport then make sure you do your homework. If you are set on applying for something inner city, then be prepared for something less attractive, however the benefit is that it will be close to all the popular amenities Perth has to offer.

See my last post about compiling a renter's resume, as this can give you the edge in your application!
