    Pretty much what's in your house at the moment... that's what you need. Also remember tools, air freshener, cleaning materials, plastic bags... You'll find it's the random stuff that you always need the most.

    Dude, be very careful when it comes to who you rent from. An argument between an owner and myself almost once came to fisticuffs over a promised paint job and repairs before I moved in that was not done when I eventually did move in. And, as the tenant there's actually not much you can do if an owner doesn't want to help. Rental agencies will put pressure on the owner if your request is valid.

    Also, if you are renting through an agency, do your homework or ask people who they are renting through and what their experience is/was. Some rental agencies love your money and the commission they make but do nothing in return.

    Good ones to rent through is AIDA and Remax.

    One to definitely steer way clear of is Just Letting.

    They once phoned me, asking about due rent... which I paid on the Friday at the end of the month. The lady I spoke to was too thick to understand that I already paid, but online banking sometimes take 3 days over the weekend. Insisted that I pay the rent, even after I explained it to her.

    "But you are supposed to pay at the end of the month"

    Contractually I had up to the 5th working day to pay

    Also, forget about getting your deposit back with them.
