Yeah, but that's because 'high density' in Melbourne means 'apartments barely big enough to be a human dwelling.' When I moved back to Melbourne in 2010, I looked at a bunch of places around town. Every single apartment that had been built recently was laughably small. We're talking the sort of small where you put a couch and TV in there, and you're sitting 2 feet from the TV. Also, your kitchen is your laundry. So I ended up in the 'burbs. Development in Melbourne is out of control. My local council (Moreland) is trying to put things in place where dwellings have to be a minimum size, so I thought that was pretty cool.

Take a look at what they've got in Central Park, Sydney for $600,000-$700,000 (or $500-$600pw) http://www.domain.com.au/l11-3-carlton-street-chippendale-nsw-2008-10239858?sp=3 http://www.domain.com.au/l22-3-carlton-street-chippendale-nsw-2008-10207405?sp=6 I viewed 6 empty apartments on the one tour, 4 different buildings, every one exactly the same width, about 3m. The depth varied only slightly depending on the style of balcony, some were enclosed adding another ~1m of "living area". The difference between a "suite" and a "studio" was the inclusion of an added alcove behind the kitchen for a bed. The living area in the studios was so small that a regular king/queen size bed would be the only thing you'd be able to fit. On the plus side, those photos are an amazing example of using angles and framing to your advantage. If you have a look through other ads for similar properties, you can see the kitchen grow and shrink between shots. e.

I'm flathunting right now and I'm continually baffled by real estate agents who put up a single exterior shot of the house and nothing else. Like, obviously it must be really poo poo on the inside, but do they think people will just come check it out anyway and then when they get there think "Oh... well, I already came out, may as well rent it"? Also, since this thread seems like a good place to ask: I'm thinking of renting my own place for the first time rather than going through a sharehouse (just getting older and over living with housemates). But I'm also in a weird spot in my life and there's a slim chance I might move back to Perth and/or move in with someone else in the next 12 months. Is it actually legal to transfer a lease to somebody else if you decide you want out? Or is it legal but reflects badly on your tenant history etc?

It is definitely legal, but it's up to your landlord to agree. Generally though they're only interested in keeping up the income stream so they'd probably be for it provided the person was suitable. http://www.tenants.org.au/factsheet-18-transfer-and-sub-letting Keep that site bookmarked, lots of good info. You could just go for a 6month lease and resign if you're staying? If you break the lease, that's when you can get a black mark against you. You'll also have to pay the rent until the premises is leased to someone else, and maybe a separate fee of like 4 weeks rent on top of that. Try not to break your lease. I also looked at a place yesterday that had just been vacated by a guy who hoarded guinea pigs. The whole apartment was covered in a wet, dank, musky smell and the carpet looked like a Pro Hart.

The single outside shot can also just be because the real estate agent can't find their old photos of the place or be hosed going to take new ones.

I always assumed a 6-month lease is unlikely to be extended, though, because it's usually because the landlord wants to demolish and build or renovate or something?

freebooter posted:OK cool thanks. I'm actually in Vic but I'll look up the info for here. Oop just assumed you lived in NSW because I live in NSW and I'm not very smart. I've only once been in the position where an owner wanted me out after the lease end date and that was because they wanted to move in themselves (this is over 10 separate apartments). They usually prefer for you stay in the property and extending the lease locks in that revenue stream, they don't have to worry about money lost advertising it while it sits vacant. It would be worth asking the real estate about the option to re-sign when you first apply, if they're happy with the 6 month lease to begin with, they should be happy to extend that later on. However; not sure about Vic, but here once the lease is over they can increase the rent at any time (there might be a notification period but I can't be arsed looking it up). So if you want to re-sign, lock it in asap before the owner gets that chance.

It just depends, they may be thinking of having a kid move in for school (been kicked out of places for that before) or all sorts of other poo poo. They may just want a body in there even if it's not on a long lease. You're not making income with it sitting empty.
