By offering more than the advertised price, and paying 3 months up front.

Here's some hints:

Plus be aware of what's on your credit rating, ideally make sure you have a good one!

It's amazing how many people don't do most of the things mentioned making it easy for those who are prepared.
But yes, it was a lot easier in the early 90s when I last rented before my current rental, didn't have to worry about any of those things.

Illegal.

Rent bidding is illegal in South Australia from 1 September 2023 with fines of up to $20,000 for landlords or agents caught soliciting a higher rental bid.

The Government of South Australia has banned the unfair practice as part of a series of reforms addressing rental affordability and improving rights for tenants.

in 2018 when my marriage ended i found a place in 2 weeks. Piece of cake. 5 years later tried finding a rental (which we got luckily through a family friend) and it's near impossible. People who are going for rentals offers more than what is asked, which makes it even harder for people who are budgeting..

I think some of the people giving advice sit at home like this......

Yep I’m similar but on a three seat sofa.

Illegal for a prospective landlord to solicit more rent.

Not illegal for a prospective tenant to offer more rent, within certain constraints, which is the case being addressed here.

Regardless, I was being cynical.

Buy a house if you can’t get a rental

Or share a house as previously mentioned.

So many more options than most people in other countries!

You take a deranged mate to the open and when the house is full you get him to say “oh, this is the room that Allan and Mary were murdered in”

Unfortunately a very common thing in life, doesn't make it any easier though.

The woman missing in Ballarat after going for a trail run in the national forest. 5 days missing...
Hate to jump to conclusions, but this stinks...
They are worried about abandoned mine shafts. As an avid trail runner, you never run off the trails, its just too difficult through the bush so I highly doubt that she's fallen down a mine shaft. Especially running by yourself on a 36deg day, she would have stayed on shady trails.

The young girl killed by a falling tree at the Uni grounds.

Now, I'm not one to believe there's a pearly gate but if there is she has every right to question the decision making process that preceded her arrival.
