In Canada and other western countries, people might not say out loud that they won’t rent out to foreigners but that doesn’t mean people don’t discriminate unfortunately.

沒錯，亞洲人更難在國外租房，連找室友都難，而且沒有人會抱怨租房網不是自己熟悉的語言，重點是scammers 和爛landlords 更多到爆炸。

Nice vidoe as always. I really like the video showing the actual rental market in Taiwan instead of being another pure praising Taiwan video.

Interesting stories. Thanks for sharing. I had a three-bed-room, two-bath apartment in New Taipei city available for rent earlier this year. Good location, pet friendly. I was hoping to rent it to foreigners with family but it didn't happen. A Taiwanese family is renting it now. Next time I'll try to list it in English on 591.

Cheers! It would be nice if 591 had an English version as well

比起家庭，房東更願意租給單身的人，但是寵物的部分就非常看人了😂

Hmm well I grew up in southern Ontario, Owen Sound, which isn’t far from Guelph! I always thought my accent was quite neutral but seems you can tell it apart!

Back in the day… circa 2003, there were ‘agents’ that would ‘help’ foreigners find a place to live. It was just as hard back then as it is now. But we did end up renting a place we loved near the Ruefong night market. Our landlords were school teachers and super great. I think we paid around 13,000/mo.

外國人在台灣租房子，我聽過幾個傳說，「聽到外國人租金一定比較貴」「外國人對於安靜的定義不一樣，晚上比較多噪音，而且晚上聚會也比較大聲」不過有些人也只租外國人，除了租金高還有就是大多數外國人自我約束也比較好😊

@@WesDaviestravel 哈哈哈，那是時間的問題，例如20:00過後鄉下就認為是噪音，城市可能是22:00過後，假日可以忍受往後延一個小時，事實上台灣人熱鬧起來也不輸給外國人，就是喧嘩跟party 台灣人定義不同🤣🤣

我們新竹的外國人都喜歡租竹北的房子，竹北房子較新，也較高級，租金也貴，但生活機能沒竹市好（現在有比較好了）！所以我認為外國指很多國家，要看是哪一個國家的人，來台做長期工作，還是短期！還是來結婚的！肯定跟土生土長的台灣人買房租房的條件不一樣！

Based on the real experience of my retired American friends. There are indeed problems with lease housing in Taiwan ! Expat would rather live in Thailand because it is friendlier there.

@farleylai1102 4 ай бұрын

Proof of income and/or employment is not uncommon even in the US, not to mention checking the credit scores. By contrast, the rental market lacks regulations in Taiwan. So good luck before enjoying the low living expenses.

Wes: So why did you decide to leave your last apartment? (the floor above me) Friend: It wasn't in the nicest of area (with neighbor who only bring me gift after I move out) The problem with foreign renters (not limited to Taiwan) is that there had been many cases were tentant causes a lot of trouble/damage to the building they were renting and the repair fee cost way more than the 1-2 X month down payment. The legal part of trying to sue someone who left the country is as good as "Zero" and while the ratio may be below 1 out of 100 but its cases like those that sticks in people's mind. What the agent should have say in Wes's case is "He is a foreign +// youtuber with more than 100k+ subscribers" XD to the landlord instead. IMO

越鄉下的地方、房東年紀越大的人，心態越封閉，外語能力也越差，就越不容易接受外國租客。而且台灣大部分的租屋市場都是被默認的黑市，房東多半不守法，不太負責，台灣租客多半較為弱勢，都默默忍受。也許台灣房東不認為外國租客可以忍受這些。全台灣大概只有台北這個都市較為國際化，有較高品質的房子可以租給外國租客，但是價格也更高。政府真的應該讓租屋市場正常化法制化，不然對台灣人口組成國際化會成為一種阻礙。
