Are there any nice apartments in Sydney that I can rent for only 1 or 2 months?

Question

I'm a business man from China. Last month I got a visa which allows me working in Australia for a while. I'm going to live in Sydney for 1 or 2 months, but someone told me that most of the apartments there are allowed to be rented only if you plan to rent them for at least 6 months. If this is really like what he have said , I'll have to find a hotel to live for such a long time and I can't afford to the high price! So i am wondering if there are some nice apartments without 6 months restrict that I can rent or if there are some cheap and nice hotel apartments?

I am looking forward to everyone's answers!

Answer 1

yes there are but there arnt very many.

you can ask or apply for places for a 3 month contract so if you stay for 2 months its ok.

my suggestion is theres this real estate website with listings. they dont tell you how many months contract etc but i suggest using their real estate finder. i did a search for real estates in sydney city cbd area. u can do another search for other areas of sydney if you want. the link is

jot down their email adresses and write an email and send them an email about your situation ad if they have any properties available for rent without a 6 month lease. they will email you back and get back to you if they have have any properties that are available without a lease. lease means contract.

if they dont get back to you within a few days my suggestion is to send another email after 3 working day of no reply and wait if they reply after another 3 days. if they dont i guess mayb you have to pick up the phone and give them a call even though its an overseas call.

my suggestions is ljhooker. raine and horne and century 21. they are the biggest real estate chains in australia.

on http://www.ljhooker.com.au/ i just saw there is a holiday rental seach where people like yourself thats on holidays can rent properties instead of staying at hotels.
