Christchurch holiday homes and short-term rental for Canadians
How can I rent a house in Christchurch, New Zealand, when I am still living in Canada?

When you move to another country to live in New Zealand, there are a number of things you need to plan, and one of the most important thing is sort where you live when you arrive.

Most rental houses in Christchurch, they are managed by private owners or property manager, require the applicant to have a current New Zealand address, credit history, NZ, NZ and landlord references . They also expect to meet with the tenant before agreeing to rent the house. When you move to another country, you most likely will not be able to respond to any of these conditions. In addition, you sometimes are not even sure what part of town you want to live, or if you want a long term lease or purchase a home.

Then what?

If you started the immigration process and have an idea of your arrival and how long it takes for your furniture to travel to New Zealand, you can look for accommodation in the short term to cover the period one to three months while you get settled.
The three main options are:
1. Motels
2. Apartments
3. Vacation Rentals

With option 3, Holiday, you can arrive directly from the aircraft, and generally all that will be provided.

What are you likely to need in your home when you install in Christchurch?

The most common requirements are:
- Good Heating (Christchurch can be very cold!)
- Access to broadband and telephone to seek work, a long-term rental or real estate agents call if you buy a house.
- Easy access to downtown
- The local shops, bus routes, parks and attractions
- A house that is well equipped with a fully equipped kitchen, pantry basic (condiments), laundry, washing machine and your own backyard garden.
Family - friendly check with the owner of the house if you need supplements such as a cot or high chair.
