Gerard

Hi my names Gerard, I'm 35years old, originally from rural Victoria but have live mostly in Melbourne for my adult life.

I work fulltime in the tech industry. My workdays are Monday - Friday 9am-5pm with 2days being in office and 3days working from home.

In my off time I'll be either at the gym, playing video games, watching a movie, drawing, going for a drive, a hike, inline skating, bouldering, shooting hoops or hanging out with friends.

I'm pretty easy going, quiet and like to live in a clean house. While I value my personal space and will spend most of my time keeping to myself, I’d love to have some shared interests so we can occasionally enjoy relaxed hang-out nights together.

A good flatmate is someone who is respectful, communicates openly, and is mindful of shared spaces. I value people who are reliable with rent and bills, clean up after themselves, and are considerate of others’ routines

Must haves:
- space to WFH 3days a week - requires some privacy and enough space for a large desk as I'm often in video calls. This could be either an office room or a bedroom large enough to fit it.
- decent sized bedroom - enough to fit a double bed and some storage if wardrobes aren't included.
- close to public transport - ideally less than 1hr to the CBD for work, the quicker the better (train over trams).
- $300-400 each for rent, ideally the cheaper the better

Nice to haves:
- newer house / appliances
- gas / induction stove
- private / separate bathrooms
- garage / off street parking
- a house / unit, might be open to a large apartment

Furniture / Appliances I have:
- TV
- Dryer
- Fridge
- Air Fryer
- Electric mower
- Electric whipper snipper
- Electric leaf blower

May be able to get the following from current housemates before moving:
- large dinner table and chairs
- large tv unit
- washing machine
- coffee table
