Nundah, Brisbane

Hi All :)

Room Available from Wednesday 4th March but can view earlier.

If my ad is still showing here, it means the room is still available :)

Please read below before sending me a message. I've had a lot of experience housesharing over the years and have had mostly great experiences in which we are still friends, but some bad experiences as well, so wanting to be very clear in what I'm looking for. I know it’s a lot to read, but I’m sure we all want the best living arrangement for ourselves.

The Basics

The room available is for one person only, is fully furnished with a comfortable double bed, air-conditioning/heating, has a ceiling fan, good, natural lighting, small balcony, chest of drawers, and has a large built in wardrobe with plenty of storage space. You would also have a secure undercover car park and your own large bathroom. As the bathroom is also the laundry though, I would need to use the laundry part of it, but other than that, the bathroom is yours. No pets I'm sorry. Also the best thing.. You would have a quiet, but friendly and respectful flatmate!

Apartment is in a great location in inner north Brisbane, and central to everything! 5 min walk to Nundah train station, and walking distance to buses, shops, and cafes in the heart of Nundah village. 15 min by train or car to the city, and 15 min by train or car to the airport, also within 10 min drive of Chermside Shopping Centre. Sharing the apartment only with myself. I'm a 43 year old single, straight, professional, female. I work long hours, and go to the gym in the early mornings. I tend to keep to myself, but I'm also friendly and like a chat. I am very respectful and considerate of privacy, I like things being kept clean, hygienic and tidy, and live a quiet life at home. I'm looking for the same in a flat mate.

Rent price is not negotiable and is in line with the current market rental rates at the moment, is inclusive of all bills (electricity, water, internet, and monthly cleaner) and this rate would remain in place until January 2027. Any increases will depend if my landlord increases rent, (which they usually do) but I will try to keep any increases as low as possible. Cost of living in Brisbane is ridiculous :( I am seeking someone who is a non smoker (vaping ok if do this outside), doesn't have pets, and isn't going to be having people over constantly, or wanting to entertain regularly. I like a nice, quiet, home life, as I work long hours in a stressful and mentally draining career and tend to do my socialising away from home. The apartment complex is quiet and peaceful. Happy for the odd friend to come over every so often or a long term partner once or twice a week, but not looking to live with someone who always wants to have guests over constantly on a regular basis. I am also only interested in hearing from people who are genuinely interested in the room with a message telling me about yourself, how you like to live, and how long you are looking for to see if we would be a good fit together so we aren't wasting each other's time.

My flatmate of nearly 3 years has decided to move to another part of Brisbane, and we are parting as good friends. While my preference is for a female, any age, I am open to anyone, as long as there is a good fit in how we both like to live at home. I am looking for someone to move in ideally long term, 9 months or longer, as I don't like changing housemates regularly, and like stability.

I also am looking for someone who does not need to work at home or sleep at home from shift work during the day on the days I work from home. I have to talk on the phone a lot and don't want to be interrupting anyone. If you’re an early riser or finish late, I sleep through anything and you won't disturb me at all. I work from home 3 days a week ( All Day Mondays, Tuesdays and most Saturdays, but Saturdays are only for a few hours) and my other days are in my office in the city. Due to the confidentiality and privacy required In my job, I need to be left alone on the days I work from home as my work space is in a study nook in the communal area, not a separate office unfortunately. This room is probably more suited to someone who doesn't work from home as there isn't really any space for it in the room. If you do need to though, you are welcome to work in the dining area if it's on days that I'm not also working from home.

I'm looking for a considerate, responsible, trustworthy, quiet, but friendly housemate whose partying and regular entertaining days at home are over. I'm looking for someone who has respect for privacy, likes living in a clean and hygienic environment, and lives by the motto "if you make a mess, clean it up and put things away" particularly in the kitchen, and where all general household chores are equally shared. The cleaner will do a full, detailed clean each month, but we still need to maintain. Looking for a nice, easy, drama free arrangement where we show mutual respect towards each other and be adults.

Looking for someone who doesn’t have furniture or a lot of belongings with them, as my entire apartment is fully furnished, and not a lot of storage space available. The wardrobe in the room is large and would have room for most of your storage needs though.

While I do like a quiet life at home, I am friendly and do like to have a chat as well, and perhaps share a meal or drinks on the odd occasion. I like a friendly and comfortable home environment. I have a big group of friends and close family, but I do most of my socialising away from home. I work a lot, including weekends in a second job, as I have a passion for travel. When I'm home I just tend to chill watching tv, or I'm in my room.

You really don't need to bring anything other than your clothes, your own linen/pillows for the bedroom and bathroom and buying your own food. I have all the modern kitchen appliances etc, and don't mind sharing everything. I can supply fresh linen if needed though, as I have plenty until you can get your own if you're only just moving to Brisbane.

FINANCIALS

Bond is 2 weeks rent paid before you move in and to secure the living arrangement. Rent needs to be paid to me by bank transfer on a weekly basis as of the day you move in so everything is on record.

Minimum of 2 weeks notice to be provided if wanting to leave for any reason, or if I want to end the arrangement for any reason, otherwise bond is forfeited.

I'm not looking for anyone to be on a lease with me. It will continue to stay in my name only, but I will arrange for you to be an approved tenant with the real estate agency so it will all be legit, but I'll be the only person on the lease. I'll let you know when inspections are (usually every 3 months - usually Feb, May, August and November) and I'll be the one dealing with the agency. Bond is paid to me as the RTA won't accept extra bond when the full bond has already been paid on the lease as it has been paid by me. The only time I have not returned someone's bond to them is because they damaged some of my belongings and they needed to be replaced or they gave me no notice when leaving, otherwise I always return it. I also do up a signed rental agreement between the both of us.
