$300/week•36 year old man

Hi everyone! I'm a 36 year old British/Aussie guy in search of a rental in the inner suburbs of Melbourne! I've been a housemate since I was 18 and I know how to respect the people I live with, establishing boundaries and creating a harmonious household. I'm super clean and an ally to the LGBT+ community and super super pet friendly. Health and fitness is very important to me. I'm academic, I taught myself Spanish and Portuguese and would love to practice with someone! I like hiking, gardening, general DIY stuff, practicing mindfulness, talking with people and establishing community. I did work as an electrician full time, Monday to Friday. However, I've recently had a motorcycle accident (16/04/25) resulting in about 14 wrist fractures. So right now I'm not working. 100% financially stable but right now my focus is recovery and unfortunately I have no family here! I can explain more through flatmates or in person. References can given explaining how easy going and reliable I am to live with! (Even with a broken hand) ☺️ I would prefer to live with 30+ non communal please but this is flexible! If you want to know a little more about me, please go ahead and send me a message!

Maria, a highly organized and tidy full-time professional, is searching for a tranquil place to call home. I can consistently pay my rent punctually. I tend to be quite low-key and introverted. I do not drink, smoke, or use drugs. I AM NOT A PARTY PERSON. However, I am fine if my flatmate enjoys a glass of wine, provided they do not overindulge. I typically leave for work around 6:30 or 7:00 am and return home between 4:30 and 6:00 pm from Monday to Friday. ON WEEKENDS, I PREFER TO STAY HOME. I take pride in being polite, honest, caring, friendly, and respectful, and I expect the same from others. I hope to find a housemate who is non-judgmental, culturally open-minded, and down-to-earth. It is essential for me that my roommate is stable, drama-free, and does not see me merely as a source of rent or disappear without notice. I have a fondness for dogs and cats, although I do not have any pets myself. However, I would prefer not to be asked to feed or walk dogs when my housemate is away. I am looking for a room with an ensuite or a private bathroom, or a granny flat, along with adequate wardrobe space. I PREFER THAT THE MATTRESS AND BED FRAME BE PROVIDED, but if not, that is acceptable. I have my own furniture, but I do not wish to move all my belongings until I am certain about the place and my housemate. I expect a good heating and cooling system in both the house and my room. I EXPECT THE RENT TO INCLUDE ALL BILLS. I prefer to rent directly from the homeowner. Thank you, but I am not interested in subletting a rented property. I am looking for a long-term stay if I like the place. If my bond goes to RTBA, that would be ideal. I require a quiet and peaceful environment, not a space for hosting dinner parties, movie nights, or frequent overnight guests. If you wish to do it, I will expect to have a couple of days advance notice. I would appreciate some pantry space for my food, seasonings, and dishes in the kitchen. I HAVE MY OWN DISHES AND CUTLERY, BUT I hope the landlord will share kitchen utensils. I also require some room in the refrigerator for my food or a dedicated fridge for tenants. A reliable internet connection and both on-street and off-street parking are crucial. If someone who is around my age and wish to team up and rent a place, I opne to discuss about that. Please feel free to contact me. I appreciate engaging in conversations with others, yet I tend to be quite introverted due to cultural gap and language barriers. I trust that my housemate will honor my need for personal space, privacy, and time alone. If you believe I align with the type of person you are seeking, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.

Hey everyone! I'm working full-time as an IT guy in a bank, so I'll be over at the city from 9-5, five days a week. In my spare time, I love reading, watching movies, going out for drinks, and playing/composing music (I've always lived with other people, so I always keep it low volume). I'm originally from Brazil, so I can also teach you some Portuguese :) I'm keen to make some new friends, and enjoy having a talk whenever we bump into each other in our shared space. Although, I really value some alone time and definitely respect others' wish to have the same. I also take pride in keeping a clean space, and would love a place where others feel the same. Looking for a place where we can openly communicate about needs and expectations, in order to keep a relaxed environment.

Hello I’m Ella 🌸(25) Currently looking for short term housing but if I find my people 😇 I am also interested in staying more on a long term basis 6- 12 months + About me: I’m a Creative, cat lover, excessive reader and definitely bit of an introverted homebody. I am learning to play folk musical instruments and I sing. I enjoy listening to music but can always put headphones on and am a pretty quiet person otherwise. Hoping to start studying fashion/ textiles 2026 :) Kindness and compassion are values that are very important to me, and I hope to live in peace with whoever I’m living with at the time:) I highly value honest and open communication in housemate relationships and think it is key to living together happily. Happy to socialize but have only so much social battery 🪫 depending on the day:) I enjoy keeping a tidy and clean environment but don’t like to be strict about rules as long as the cleaning is equally divided In the apartment/ house in shared areas, I’m happy:) I’d like to think I’m considerate and am happy to help out on those days everyone will have where we may have to share the load:) About my cats: I have two lovely ladies called Molly and Polly who are both around 5 years of age. They love each other but are also like most siblings playful and enjoy play fighting. They’re also not unlike the rest of their species as they do sleep a lot of the time. They are fully indoor cats and are used to this lifestyle as I currently live in an apartment on the 5th floor of my building. I hope to someday have a outdoor area safely cat netted so they can have fun outside too:) My Move in date is slightly flexible but is quite dependent on my current lease/ extension approval. If I can’t extend I’d need to be moving in by Nov 4th 2025. If I do manage to extend a couple months ( prefer to not rush as moving can be quite stressful as we all know 😅😊) I would be looking at moving in Nov / early December preferably no later:)

Hey! We’re Alba and Nico, a Spanish couple looking for a place around Brunswick. We lived there last year and totally fell in love with the area, so we’re keen to move back! We’re chill, respectful, and like cooking (sometimes Spanish food!), going out for coffee, gigs, and getting around by bike. We don’t smoke and like to keep things clean and cozy.

Hi, my name is Chisato. I am an international master's student from Japan, studying IT. I am considering moving to a new place by the end of this year, so it is not urgent, but if there is a good match, I would love to arrange a date to visit. I am studying until February 2026, so I prefer a longer-term stay, but it is not necessarily a requirement. I am looking for a place with good access to the city and a quiet environment for studying. I also freelance as a UI designer/web developer, so I will be working from home sometimes. It would be a great match for someone who wants to live with a tidy, clean, easy-going, non-smoking person. I have a lots of experiences in hospo as barista, so I know how to clean things. I don't have pets, but I love animals (I do have some plants!). I have some furniture with me (bed, desk and chair, lamp). I enjoy drawing, movies, music, yoga, and coffee! If we can share our hobbies, that would be amazing:) I am a bit of nerd of coffee especially filters(having some coffee gears), and I am more than happy to share sometimes if you love filter coffee!

I’m originally from the UK and now in Oz on a working holiday visa, working casually as a barista while soaking up life in Melbourne. I’m looking for a fun, social, like-minded household to create a little community. I’m queer-friendly, open-minded, and love being around people who are the same. Bonus points for casual dinner party lovers. At home, I’m tidy, considerate, and self-sufficient. I’ve worked in kitchens, so I know how to keep shared spaces respectfully clean. Outside the house, I'm usually at poetry readings, open mic nights, or exploring Melbourne’s arts scene (always happy to bring housemates along!). I also love hiking and cycling trips and though I can’t drive, I’m the first to say yes if someone else is keen. Big pop punk lover but prefer headphones over keeping everyone awake. Though soical, I enjoy time tucked away with a book, headphones on, surrounded by houseplants.

I am a thoughtful person who respects the common sense of cohabitation and doesn’t overly focus on others, so we can both live comfortably with no pressure. I’m currently on a working holiday visa, but I’m considering switching to a student visa before it expires, so I’d be able to stay longer.

Hi I'm Kasey (She/They). Though I'm only 24, I'm house trained and got a full time corporate gig in imports 💅 I'm pretty laid back but always up for chat and a laugh. I'm a silly goose at heart but god I love my Zs. I spend most of the time I'm not working out and about with my dog, Quinton. He is 8mnths and such a quirky, loving, and lively fella. I love meal prep, a good movie, and glass of wine. I'm pretty easy to please. And I get along with just about anyone.
