Are there any overseas students in Auckland? Help me, I have just arrived in Auckland for a few days, and I need to solve the accommodation problem urgently. How to rent a house or apartment? thank you Auckland is a gathering place of New Zealand's international culture. In recent years, there are more and more immigrants studying abroad. Auckland is home to the University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, etc. Such high-quality educational resources are favored by international students. Renting a house in Auckland is one of the most important things for international students. Auckland is full of rents. Today, I will tell you about the precautions for renting a house in Auckland.

Furniture/appliances:

When renting a house in Auckland, be sure to confirm with the rented house whether the rent of the rented house includes furniture and electrical appliances.

Pets/Smoking:

Some lessors in Auckland do not allow tenants to keep pets, so it should be noted that most apartments are mandatory by property management regulations; Auckland law stipulates that smoking is not allowed indoors.

Electricity fee:

Auckland is an island country. The electricity mainly comes from hydropower, wind energy and tidal energy. The energy is clean and the price is high. Take Powershop, a cheaper company in the market, as an example. At present, the electricity consumption of residents is 0.27 New Zealand dollars, which is much more expensive than that in China, so the majority of international students should pay attention to energy conservation. Electric heating in winter will make your electricity bill soar, so choosing a house with sunny weather in winter can also save your electricity bill.

Water fee:

A. Cold water: Water charges in most areas of Auckland are one-way, that is, only water charges are collected, and sewage charges are collected in some areas. When renting a house, it is necessary to clarify the water fee payment with the rented house; The cold water fee for most apartments is included in the property management fee. B, hot water: Most of the hot water in Oakland houses is electrically heated. For houses that use electric heating, the main part of the electricity bill is the energy consumption of electric water heaters, so controlling the bath time is the main way to control the electricity bill; The hot water in some houses is heated by natural gas, and the natural gas supply basically belongs to the corresponding power company. The unit price of natural gas is lower than that of electricity, so the energy consumption cost of such houses will be lower. Some apartments send hot water to the whole building, and the hot water fee is included in the property management fee and paid by the landlord. For tenants, the energy cost of this apartment is the cheapest.

Broadband network/fixed telephone:

House/Townhouse basically lets tenants choose their own broadband companies. At present, the local broadband providers in Auckland mainly include Telecom, Vodafone, Orcon, Slingshot and Megatel. Tenants can choose their own broadband solutions according to their own needs and various solutions of various companies. Most providers offer the choice of fixed-line telephone service and pure broadband network. It is basically free to make calls from local civil fixed-line telephones in Auckland, but it should be noted that domestic long-distance calls: for example, calls to Christchurch in Auckland are charged; Broadband networks and fixed telephones in some apartments in Auckland metropolitan areas are managed by property management, so tenants cannot choose their own companies. Some are cost-effective, and some can't afford it.
