Renting is a flexible way of life that gives you the ability to accommodate your

	Job requirements i.e. transport, distance to your place of work etc…
	Lifestyle i.e. restaurants/cafes in the area, shopping centres, health clubs etc…
	AND of course your Income i.e. your ability to pay the up front costs of starting a new tenancy, paying the rent, and paying your bills such as phone and electricity and any other bills you are responsible for during the term of the lease.

However, be sure that you fully understand your rights and obligations as a tenant at the beginning, during and end of a tenancy before signing the tenancy agreement, and ask questions and for advice on anything you don’t understand.
