Some Facts about Renting in Taiwan
Generally, landlords request 1-year or above lease. For who will stay in Taiwan for 3~6 months or less, it will be more difficult.
Taipei, as the capital of Taiwan, is highly crowded and the rental is also the highest of Taiwan. For example, to rent a bigger or nicer room with bathroom in Taipei costs 15,000-20,000 NTD per month while it costs 6,000-10,000 in Taichung or Kaohsiung.
Usually, when you sign a lease, you have to pay 2-month deposit and 1-month rent. The deposit will be returned at the time of your leaving (any damage will be deducted).

Why foreigners feel hard to rent places in Taiwan?
◆ Some landlords are not willing to rent to foreigners.
◆ Some landlords don’t speak English and it is hard for a foreigner who doesn’t speak Chinese very well, not mention talking on the phone.
◆ Sometimes the pictures on websites not accurately describe the room or the apartment. Sometimes the pictures only show a small part of the wardrobe or the street view, or just are obscure.
◆ Foreigners sometimes cannot quickly contact landlords as local people and miss a good and affordable place.
