Q: Do jobs for expats usually includes housing?

I'm currently searching for jobs in China. Should I expect the jobs to offer housing as part of the deal? If they do offer housing, is it usually a desirable place to live? Or is it better to find somewhere on your onw? Are there companies that will give you the housing allowance?

Companies who post employees here typically provide housing as a part of the compensation. Seems fair to me. If you intend to come here to work, you'll need a work visa. That means you'll need a signed contract with your employer beforehand. And that's where you'll find the answer to your housing question. My understanding is that contracted English Language teachers typically do enjoy either on-campus housing or something decent located nearby. Adequate, but not lavish, housing means a room (maybe two) with a half-decent bed, a table and chair(Drunk and the normal furnishings. Take a look at MiddleKingdomLife for some pointers and further discussion.

Yes most of time, they offer housing.

 

But I would ask them for  pictures of their housing. My present fake school insisted that I come early to their school. Their apartment was horrible, no TV, no internet, no aircondition/heater, no microwave, no electric stove & kitchen wares, no dining chairs, no pillows, bed sheets & blankets, etc. The floorings were & electrical outlets were coming off.  To top it all, the place was very dirty & messy.  I am leaving after a week.

Such apartment is 'Contract breach'! 

 

You're able to walk away, and keep your RP intact.

In which city you are searching for job?
in small 3-4 level cities,they usually offer apartment for foreign teachers.
I know expats in Shanghai who works in Multinational Company are given apartment or villas by their company.
