That was my house - a four room bungalow which was damaged severely in the last couple of floods, which was how I picked it up on the cheap. The estate agent said that it usually costs roughly P9000 to rent a house, but if you look about, there's usually a really rundown house somewhere in each town, and they'll happily sell it to you.

...but the renovation costs are quite high, so do take care if you do choose to settle down.
