I’m moving to Sydney from abroad right after new years and have a long list of questions regarding housing. If anyone has advice on any of the below I’d greatly appreciate it!
1) Is it difficult to get approved for a lease without an Australian rental history? I have my work offer letter, a healthy savings account and rental history from other counties I can provide.
2) When should I begin looking for housing? I’m wondering if the timeline changes due to the holidays.

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand
