Share accommodation explained

How it works

  1. Enquire about a room using our contact form.
  2. Inspect the house in person or by video call.
  3. Agree terms — rent, bond, move-in date and house rules.
  4. Move in and get access to the tenant app for rent, cleaning roster and repairs.

What's typically included

Share houses usually include a private bedroom and shared kitchen, lounge, bathroom and laundry. Exactly what's included (furniture, bills, internet) differs by property — see each listing. At Flora St, rooms are fully furnished and rent includes electricity, water, gas, internet and home essentials.
