UQ Rentals Online |
Real Estate agencies |
Rental accommodation is the most popular accommodation choice among UQ students. There is usually a wide range of rental properties available at any one time and while there are a number of on-line resources that list properties currently available for rent, Accommodation Services does not inspect these properties and cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information.
For this reason, rental accommodation should only be arranged once you have arrived in Queensland, to allow you to inspect properties and meet housemates (for shared houses and units). It can be helpful to read through a few listings prior to your departure though, so that you can start becoming acquainted with local prices and facilities.
The demand for housing in the area around campus is quite high in the weeks leading up to the start of semester. If at all possible, try to arrive 10 days to 2 weeks before the start of semester, to ensure that you have enough time to find housing before your classes start.
Please see the Issues to consider chapter for important points to consider when renting.
