    Why is rent weekly in Australia?

    I pulled up some rental listings in Gold Coast cause Batts has me tempted after posting those pics a while ago... can't get that place out of my head.

    But I'm wondering... why is the rent weekly? Why not monthly? Seems a little odd.

          $345 a week, is that in australian dollars? JESUS CHRIST>.. that's $1000 US for a 3 bedroom with a pool in the back.

          My place is 2.5 times that ... no pool..no garage. one more bathroom.

              Why rent? Why not build your own?

                      probably a lot of tourists rent them for vacations, most don't stay a month . . . just a guess.

                      I would think if you contacted them, and said you want a month, a deal could be worked out . . . unless they have no trouble filling them.

                              I thought the same thing...but the ad says, it's UNFURNISHED. so it's not a vacation rental listing

                                      Sometimes the cost is shown weekly, but you'll probably find you pay monthly, well at least I do.

                                          Maybe I'd just pick up a sleeping bag, and a pad... it would suck having to sell furniture after only a couple months of living there. Maybe this is the one time I could actually fathom using a furniture rental place... lol

                                              Some places are weekly and some are monthly, just depends who you go with.

                                              Hit me up if you need any advice, i used to live on the gold coast and know some really good places.

                                                          Also depends how far away you are from things.

                                                          I'm 40 minutes motorcycle ride outside of Brisbane and if I were to rent my house it would be worth about $360/wk too.

                                                                                          We pay per week cause if we had to save the money for a whole month then pay we wouldnt have the money.... Australians drink all the time and if there is money in the bank they will take it out and go to the pub and get pissed..
