In order to live there, you need a Visa. One of the easiest ones to get (for those who want to reside there) is a Work Visa. To get a Work Visa, you need to land yourself a job, and the employer has to sponsor the visa. One requirement is that one has a Bachelor's degree (for the Visa) and one of the easiest jobs to apply for, for a foreigner, is that of an English Language Teacher.
As for getting a place, as I mentioned earlier (which no one commented on, so I guess it's true), it's more difficult for a foreigner to find one without some help, especially if there's the whole language barrier.
