For students, companies and professionals, all over the world.
Remoters puts you in touch with a home finder living there, who speaks your language, searches to your criteria, views on your behalf and stays with you through to the signed lease.
They know the neighbourhoods, the rents and how the local market works, and they speak your language.
Listings, agencies, local network: they shortlist to your criteria and view properties on your behalf.
They present your application to the landlord and negotiate the lease terms for you.
Verified home, lease reviewed, secure payment: you sign knowing exactly what you are getting.
Six missions, from the first brief to key handover.
Real budget, viable neighbourhoods, size, life constraints. The brief is written before the first listing — that's what saves three months of pointless viewings.
Portals, local agencies, private landlords: your home finder checks every new listing daily and contacts agencies on your behalf, so nothing slips through.
Filmed viewings, an honest report, walks through the neighbourhood at different hours. You no longer need to travel: your home finder does it all for you remotely.
Local rent levels, service charges, the state of the property, lease length. Concrete arguments to negotiate the terms — on your side, this time.
Locally required documents, guarantor, translation, review of the lease and the inventory. This is where foreign applications most often fall apart.
Inventory, key handover, utilities set-up, first admin steps. Your home finder doesn't disappear once the contract is signed: they remain a valuable contact for any questions about life on the ground.
No scams, verified homes, secure payment.
A home found in a few weeks.
Guided by a local home finder, in your language.
Everything handled remotely, stress-free.
Four steps, from your request to the signed lease.
You start by filling in a short questionnaire to tell us a bit more about your search.
One of our home finders then takes over and contacts you for a free first conversation. The goal? Understanding exactly what you need.
If it clicks and you want to move forward, you receive a tailored quote. Once approved, the search begins!
Your home finder searches for you, shares their finds, stays with you through to signing the lease — all that’s left is packing your bags.
Join a community of happy clients.
Adelaide in brief for long-term renters:
Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, offers a distinctive quality of life that attracts professionals, families, and international newcomers alike. Here are the key reasons people choose to rent and settle in Adelaide long-term:
Living in Adelaide day-to-day is generally straightforward and comfortable. Here is what to expect once you have secured your long-term rental:
Adelaide's long-term rental market has been characterised by tight supply and strong demand in recent years. According to Domain's June 2024 Rental Report, Adelaide recorded a vacancy rate of just 0.5%, making it one of the most competitive rental markets among Australian capital cities. This low vacancy rate reflects sustained population growth, increased interstate and overseas migration, and limited new rental stock coming to market.
Rents have risen sharply: SQM Research data shows an annual increase of approximately 12.7% across all dwelling types in Adelaide. Despite this growth, the city remains more affordable than Sydney, Melbourne, or Canberra. The median weekly rent for units reached 460 AUD/week (Domain, March 2024), while houses averaged around 600 AUD/week (Mozo, 2025).
The market is particularly competitive for family-sized homes in inner and eastern suburbs. Demand from students, professionals, and newly arrived expats keeps pressure on the inner-city apartment segment as well. Prospective tenants should expect to compete with multiple applicants for the same property and should have their rental dossier ready before attending inspections.
Adelaide's neighbourhoods offer a wide range of rental options to suit different lifestyles and budgets. Here is an overview of the most popular areas for long-term renters:
Adelaide consistently ranks as one of the most affordable capital cities in Australia for long-term renters. While rents have risen in recent years — SQM Research recorded an annual increase of approximately 12.7% across all dwelling types — the city remains significantly cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne. The median weekly rent across all dwelling types in Adelaide was approximately 612 AUD/week (around 2,652 AUD/month) according to SQM Research data.
Your monthly rental budget will depend heavily on the suburb, property size, and proximity to the CBD. Renters on a tighter budget often look to suburbs such as Prospect, Brompton, or Salisbury, while those seeking lifestyle amenities may prefer Norwood, Glenelg, or North Adelaide at a higher price point. Always factor in the upfront security bond (up to 4 weeks' rent) and ongoing utility costs when planning your relocation budget.
Adelaide is one of Australia's most affordable capital cities for long-term renters. According to Domain's March 2024 Rental Report, the median weekly rent for a unit in Adelaide reached 460 AUD/week (approximately 1,993 AUD/month), making it the most affordable capital city for unit rentals alongside Hobart. For houses, Mozo (2025) reports a median of around 600 AUD/week (approximately 2,600 AUD/month).
Rents vary significantly by suburb and property type:
Utility costs (electricity, gas, water) are typically not included in the rent and should be budgeted separately. A security bond equivalent to up to 4 weeks' rent is required upfront under South Australian law (for properties renting at or below 800 AUD/week).
Renting in Adelaide's competitive market requires preparation. Here are the most common mistakes to avoid when searching for long-term accommodation:
Here are key practical tips for successfully renting long-term in Adelaide:
Relocating to Adelaide and searching for a long-term rental from abroad — or while managing a busy schedule — can be challenging in a market where properties are leased quickly and competition is fierce. Remoters connects you with local rental search specialists who know Adelaide's neighbourhoods, understand the South Australian tenancy process, and can help you identify the right property for your needs and budget.
Whether you are looking for a furnished apartment in North Adelaide, a family home near top schools in Unley, or a coastal rental in Glenelg, a Remoters rental search expert can:

Prepare the standard application form, completed on 1Form or Ignite, with your passport, proof of income or means, references from previous landlords or employers and a recent bank statement. Agents often check your identity with the 100-point system.
An incomplete file is set aside. With a vacancy rate of 0.5% in February 2024, have everything ready before the viewing so you can apply the same day.
Have someone on the spot view it for you: most Adelaide agents refuse an application without a prior viewing, in person or a confirmed virtual one. Viewings run at fixed times, often on weekdays or Saturday mornings.
A Remoters home finder based in Adelaide can attend for you, send you photos or video with detailed feedback, then support your application the same day, as set out in the quote.
Often just a few days. The rental vacancy rate was only 0.5% in February 2024 (SQM Research), one of the lowest in Australia after Perth.
Follow the listings on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au, prepare your file before viewings and apply the same day. Note that rents are shown per week: multiply by 4.33 to get the real monthly amount.
Plan for more than 6 weeks of rent at once: the bond, up to 4 weeks of rent for a rent of 800 AUD a week or less, plus 2 weeks of rent in advance. The bond is lodged with Consumer and Business Services (CBS), the South Australian public body.
Work from the real monthly figure: a rent of 600 AUD a week comes to about 2,600 AUD a month.
