Who doesnt love having to apply for 50 listings, which each send their own email/text to your reference? I love texting my references 3 times a day to let them know to check their email and complete the form...
The Cost of Doing Business, I'd say. They demand the same from their tenants, it's only reasonable that their tenants ask the same of them. Now imagine having 50 former tenants who each need 50 references. That's 2500 references. One might imagine there would be an automated system for that.
Also I don’t know how it works in Australia, but in America the person applying as well as every adult who will be living in the space will have to pay about $50-$75 for EVERY application you send.

This is fucked up I just started looking at house listings because they upped the rent of my fucking closet to $400 a fortnight and I realised for just 100 more I can get a house in the middle of nowhere
$400 a fortnight where in Australia are you living that’s craaaaaaazy cheap I pay $500 a week for a one bedroom 1 bathroom house with a shower in the northern rivers in flood zone
“I don’t even know all that” so true, as a student over the past few years I’ve been randomly alternating between couch crashing, AirBNB hopping and doing various house/flat shares lmao
Ten years ago I was hounded by the real estate agent to put my application in as they didn’t like anyone who had but had liked the look of me, owner even reduced the rent to tempt me, only cost 200 for a three bedroom house and rent only went up $10 every two years. I was in my early 20s not working due to disability and had a giant dog. I only left it three years ago to own. How times have changed, someone like young me never could now.

550 a week here gets you a leaky 2 bedroom pile of crap with bad electricals that's starting to fall apart. You may think "that house wouldn't pass an inspection", and you're right. But if all you can afford is 550/week, you get used to pulling out pots and pans when it starts raining inside.
Loool, this is so fucking accurate. When i was moving to my second flat they asked for proof of at least 3 months of rent payments, but i had only lived in the previous place for 2 months, and before that I was living with my family, so I added my deposit payment to my list of proof. Luckily the 1st flat I rented was a private landlord, so they didn't ask for that, but the place im currently at is managed by letting agents, so the whole process was worse.
The most relatable video you've put out to date. Ironically in a time where I have finally found a place to live after 7 months of searching and having these same interactions
Thank you Lachlan for teaching me how to pronounce "jail" correctly in Australian. I like learning and picking up on accents and this one word stood out to me.
Sydney is the shithole of Australia though, unless you grew up in a specific neighbourhood that has everything you need including your friends and family and a job, without any real reason to leave or travel. For everyone else, getting around anywhere to do anything is a literal nightmare...
Yeah this is the first video these guys have made where I didn't actually crack a smile. Too goddam real and it should not be like this. Housing is a human right, not some ass kissing contest for who gets to have a roof over their head.
this is why I can't move out of SA. I own my home, but wouldn't be able to afford one interstate, and I wouldn't be able to rent because I have no references I'm not caught up in the rental trap, I'm caught in the SA ownership trap
Wait do you mean a month or is that an error and you actually mean a week, because 670 a month is really cheap even for a small room in a share house nowadays.
Fun fact if you are applying for the property through an agent, if the weekly rental price is 30% or more of the applicants weekly income, they'll automatically be refused... hope this helps 👍
The boomers who bought up our real estate and acting as these draconian landlords are the biggest culprits creating this awful housing crisis we’re in 😠😠😠
I usually get a good chuckle per video, but this is my favourite one in years. "The fires" is such a killer bit, honestly 😂😂😂😭 absolutely howled my arse off for a solid two minutes here
At least I’m not the only person with similar issues. I can’t even count all the places I’ve lived. It’d be easier to pretend I’ve never left my parent’s home the past 12 years and just make up a fake document saying I’ve paid them $1k a month rent after turning 18 but I thought they wanted an honest tenant.
What's worse in the USA is that the "application" now includes a non-refundable "fee" sometimes asking as high as fifty dollars! And you don't know IF the place is ACTUALLY available, not do you know who the "landlord" even is! Yes, that's a major violation of any Real Estate Code of Ethics AND the Credit Bureau Standards, but not enforced in the USA. Think: fifty applicaitons at 50 bucks EACH and ONE place available, maybe??? Ka Ching!!! Free money, and it's legal.
The real estate agent said the owner of my apartment, won't let me on a periodic lease because it would take him too long to find a new tenant.... didn't make sense seeing as I moved in not a week after the last tenant moved out. 🤪
It's even worse in Canada because we bring in 800,000 foreign students/year, who all have to compete with both each other and the bottom half of earners for the only affordable rentals
Don't forget about the application fees. Sometimes I wonder why rental houses sit vacant for months at a time while every apartment complex has a long waiting list. Makes me think landlords are just making a living off of application fees.
Imagine moving to the country with no australian rental history and no australian job history. My immigration agents said 'dont worry, just tell them you have a job lined up and you'll get a house'. Ha.
The reason they wanna make sure you can actually pay is because(at least in my country) after a renter leaves they need to repair any damage and person a professional clean of the apartment before getting someone new in. Meaning if they take in someone who can't make their payments and gets kicked out in the first month then they lose money on that Renter
This just shows how it's really easy to rent anywhere in Sydney if you don't have a history of starting fires. Anyone that can't rent a house at the moment is a dirty arsonist.
Yeah honestly sorry but the Australian rental market is such a fucking joke with REAs taking the piss I'll just stick with my tax evading landlord from Gumtree whose only requirement was a cash payment 🤣🤣
yeah, it is a bit crazy. So i am glad you made this a subject. there is a place i really enjoyed living at. rent used to be $545 starting out. it was worth it because they also had a body building gym (small, but manageable) and a pool... not near the gym but in the area. these days if i would go there and find an apartment its $800 plus the same stuff, but i dont think its worth the money at that price. if prices for everything came way down, PEOPLE WOULD BUY MORE!
My current rental: I went to an open inspection, told them where I worked, they recognised it as a reputable workplace, and took me on right away. It’s a nice place.
The housing "crisis" is reaching apocalyptic proportions. I'm extremely lucky that I have a roof over my head - and that's despite having a full-time and well paying job. If I didn't have the job I do, I'd be sunk without a hope. They need to build more houses, and build more NOW - and as much as I am for a multi-cultural Australia, we need to limit immigration until the housing crisis is resolved for the people living here. If the government gets its priorities straight and starts building like made NOW - then the crisis might be resolved in 5 years (if we're lucky).
it isnt a supply issue its a landlord issue, There is more than enough housing to house everyone in the country and then some. But because housing is a commodity there are empty hotels, apartments and houses while people are on the streets. Landlords are known to buy up a shit ton of houses and then only put a few up for sale to artificially limit supply. Unfortunately this is a systematic problem and systematic problems require systematic change so yea.
I'm so ashamed of the state of the 4 bedroom 2 bathroom I own (ie. inherited from my grandma who bought it at a sane price) that I'm not sharehousing it I should just tell people that the rent will stay low if they do all my chores for me
“Let me sign the contract and we’ll talk about the fires” is an alpha negotiating tactic

The reason they wanna make sure you can actually pay is because(at least in my country) after a renter leaves they need to repair any damage and person a professional clean of the apartment before getting someone new in.
Meaning if they take in someone who can't make their payments and gets kicked out in the first month then they lose money on that Renter
"thats research i have to do" hahahahahahahaha
BRB, scanning that code and connecting to their SmartTV
The real estate agents are a different breed
Ironic that there was an ad for buying a house in Flagstone, QLD, before starting the video!
This just shows how it's really easy to rent anywhere in Sydney if you don't have a history of starting fires. Anyone that can't rent a house at the moment is a dirty arsonist.
Only half a grand? Sign me up!
Yeah honestly sorry but the Australian rental market is such a fucking joke with REAs taking the piss I'll just stick with my tax evading landlord from Gumtree whose only requirement was a cash payment 🤣🤣
Ooof this hits 😅
You should be on the Joel and Blair show with that social commentary 😊
yeah, it is a bit crazy.
So i am glad you made this a subject.
there is a place i really enjoyed living at. rent used to be $545 starting out. it was worth it because they also had a body building gym (small, but manageable) and a pool... not near the gym but in the area. these days if i would go there and find an apartment its $800 plus the same stuff, but i dont think its worth the money at that price.
if prices for everything came way down, PEOPLE WOULD BUY MORE!
💯 spot on fr 😂
My current rental: I went to an open inspection, told them where I worked, they recognised it as a reputable workplace, and took me on right away. It’s a nice place.
But think of it this way, if a landlord doesn't want you, do you really want to be paying him your money?

Well that house is definitely mysteriously burning down.
Wait.. $500 a month for a studio? *American tears* I wish!
Im surrounded with homes for rent for like $1200-$1350 in the UK, I'm also like 2 miles form a city centre
"Now that you know about the fires, are you sure you want me to leave?"
No problem. Property investors don't need tenants. It has been growth endless so far.
Sheesh, and I thought it was tough in the US..
Turns out Mao was right about one thing at least...
The housing "crisis" is reaching apocalyptic proportions. I'm extremely lucky that I have a roof over my head - and that's despite having a full-time and well paying job. If I didn't have the job I do, I'd be sunk without a hope.
They need to build more houses, and build more NOW - and as much as I am for a multi-cultural Australia, we need to limit immigration until the housing crisis is resolved for the people living here. If the government gets its priorities straight and starts building like made NOW - then the crisis might be resolved in 5 years (if we're lucky).
it isnt a supply issue its a landlord issue, There is more than enough housing to house everyone in the country and then some. But because housing is a commodity there are empty hotels, apartments and houses while people are on the streets. Landlords are known to buy up a shit ton of houses and then only put a few up for sale to artificially limit supply. Unfortunately this is a systematic problem and systematic problems require systematic change so yea.
I'm so ashamed of the state of the 4 bedroom 2 bathroom I own (ie. inherited from my grandma who bought it at a sane price) that I'm not sharehousing it
I should just tell people that the rent will stay low if they do all my chores for me
maybe if someone want to total their house and claim insurance. he is the perfect candidate
Well done for even getting to speak to the landlord face to face 😂
