Yours sincerely, 新西兰留学如何租房 一、如何找房 1、一般在报纸上都会有跟房屋出租有关的版块，学生们可以在这些栏目中去寻找房子以及跟出租人进行联系。在报纸上找的好处就是不用交什么手续费之类的，但需要用比较多的时间去找。 2、也可以通过房地产公司来找到适合的房子。这些公司不但会代理房东进行 房子的出租，也会给房东进行 房子的管理。一般在明确要租房以后，房地产公司是会收一些手续费的。通过这些公司来

15、找房子比较好的地方是选择性多，也能去实地看房子的情况。 3、还可以通过出租中心来找适合的房子。但是出租中心一般得交了一些费用后才能去看房子，不过这个收费没有房地产公司那么多，只是如果对房子不是很喜欢不想租，也一样要交这个费用的。 二、签订合约 如果明确了要租的房子以后，首先要把租房合约签了，跟房东或者是房地产公司签都是可以的，这两者所使用的都是政府所准备的标准合约。 三、交付押金 明确租房后一般都得给房东一笔押金，不会很多，最多等于房租，并且在以后退房的时候也会返还回来的。但这笔押金不是房东自己收着，而是会交到相应的押金中心来做保管。以后在终止租房后，需要去填写一份表格来拿回这笔押金。 四、终

16、止租约 如果自己不想租房子了，一般都是在搬出去之前的21天给房东一个书面的通知。如果是房东不想租了，那么他就得在90天之前给学生一份书面通知。如果是房子已经被出售，并且新房主马上就要搬进来了。或者是房东需要在这个房子里住等等的情况，这其中的时间还会缩短到42天。 五、同住室友 其实在新西兰，室友跟租客是不一样的。如果是有跟房东签下合同的才算是租客，但若是跟室友是存在着租约关系，并且室友也有在支付房租，这就是的室友的概念。而室友虽然跟房东没有合约关系，但还是得跟租客负责的。学生们如果是要跟室友一起住，在入住之前可以先跟室友签好室友协议，其中要写明各人需要承担的房租等等这些内容。 新西兰留学担保金 一、担保金的数量 担保金的数量跟据课程的长度来计算的，以每年15万计算。比如有个学生要去维多利亚大学读2年制的MPA课程，那么担保金需要准备30万;如果有个学生要去奥克兰大学读1年的预科+3年的本科，那么我们不需要提供60万，一般能够提供前3年45万的担保金就可以了。 二、担保金的形式 担保金不需要去交给谁，只要存入银行就可以了(活期和定期的存款都可以，除此之外的囊括股票、房产、理财等等都不能作为担保金，除非折现)。担保金可以存在学生名下，也可以存在担保人(比如父母)名下。 三、担保金的存期 1、存款超过6个月，不需要解释资金来源 2
