Teaching > Accommodation

On arrival, all teachers stay in temporary accommodation and SEST assists teachers to find their own apartment within the first week.

Teachers’ apartments are not company owned. SEST has a list of private landlords/organisations that are happy to rent to teachers.

Apartments

  • Most apartments are shared.
  • Cheaper apartments are unfurnished and second hand furniture can be bought easily and cheaply. Most new teachers however opt for furnished or partly furnished.
  • Since SEST is sponsoring the teacher whilst in Taiwan, SEST has a legal responsibility to ensure the teacher abides by the rental agreement.
  • The teacher decides on the location of the apartment as advised by the school and the teaching schedule.

Costs

  • Temporary accommodation on arrival is subsidised by SEST.
  • Two months deposit is usually required for all apartments.
  • Schools can help organise loans to assist with the deposit payments.
  • Monthly rent (TWD 6,000-9,000) is usually equivalent to about a quarter of the monthly salary although this depends on location, age and the amount of furniture.
  • Monthly utilities are paid by the teacher.
