Dublin and Sydney rental markets move fast — good listings often go within hours. Begin searching before you land and be ready to commit via video call.
Most landlords and agents will do a WhatsApp or FaceTime walkthrough. A video viewing is standard for expat and international applicants.
Book 2–4 weeks in a hostel or Airbnb to arrive without housing pressure. This gives you time to view in person and make a better decision.
Have your passport, employment contract or offer letter, and previous rental references ready. Irish landlords especially value proof of employment income.
"Irish in Sydney", "Australians in Dublin" and similar groups often have private rental listings not on the main portals. Word of mouth is powerful.
Irish landlords typically require 1–2 months deposit + first month's rent upfront. Australian landlords take 4 weeks bond (held in a government scheme).
