Hi Teacher’s, I really enjoy watching your videos. Really helping me for my study.
I remember when I use to live in Philippines in the big City we’re I work. I just renting a one bed room apartment with kitchen, living room, bathroom in a condominium. It’s a fully furnished. So I don’t need to buy anything to put in . My room is located in 19th floor.
It’s absolutely the same requirements in Philippines that you need to pay a one month deposit and advance as well. So you will get your deposit back after the final inventory after you move out in a month or so. The apartment is look old and but renting a new one is more expensive. So I just grab the old apartment just for myself.

We normally pay two months of deposits and one month of rent when we are signing the contract and we need to pay half rent to the estate agent if the house is not rented by the house owner but by the estate agent, it's common for doing the inventory before moving in and out, the rule of cleaning part is same as in Taiwan as well
