Trust & Safety
Shared living, without the risk
On a working-holiday visa the usual rental process is close to impossible: no local history, no guarantor, no interest in a twelve-month lease. Every CDA home is managed and every resident screened, on terms that match the visa.
A screened house in a new country
Every resident is ID-verified and reference-checked. Arriving somewhere unfamiliar is easier when the household has already been checked.
Professionally managed homes
CDA manages each property directly, with coordinated cleaning of shared spaces and clear house standards, so the home stays in good shape long after you move in.
Maintenance handled for you
Something breaks, you lodge a ticket and our team handles it. No chasing landlords or splitting repair costs with housemates.
Terms that fit a visa, not a mortgage
Short minimum stays, all bills included and no traditional bond — so a few months in one city does not require signing for a year.
