准备帮孩子申请小学，明年九月入学。
现在住的地方不在理想小学的学区，正在那边附近买房子，但是现在的情形在1月15号deadline前来不及办完手续，就想能不能先在理想小学附近租房，用租房的地址申请入学。
刚看了小学的admission policy，有下面这段话。我没太看明白，这是说租房的话必须签一年以上的合同才可以申请，还是说申请的时候必须有合同证明我们已经在那里住了一年以上了？如果是后者的话是不是现在租房已经不行了。
Permanent home address (2) – For all other applicants ‘permanent home address’ does not include properties secured on short-term tenancies in order to gain an advantage when seeking admission to XXXX. It also does not include addresses of other family members, friends, child-minders or business addresses. If leased/rented by the child’s parents/guardians then the written agreement must not be less than twelve months duration at the time of application. The property leased should be that in which the child and his/her family live and which is suitable for family needs. Documentary evidence of ownership or rental/lease agreement may be required together with proof of actual permanent residence at the property concerned.
