RENT:
Rent is payable always in advance and receipts are issued. That means students can claim benefits, if eligible for them.

Includes bills for gas, 'basic' water, and ONLY 'fair use' of electricity. It covers SLOW internet, not suited to gaming or streaming. It is a SLOW plan, that ONLY suits emailing and surfing.
***NOTE: The internet - although it is NBN - it is completely unreliable suffering frequent and repeated network (and sometimes power) outages in the whole neighbourhood. It is OFF-line nearly more than online.***
(NBN are incapable of fixing it. We have tried for years.)

Depending on your intended stay length, a "Utility Bond" of $370 may be payable, as some previous housemates have run up huge power bills and left without paying their final share of the Electricity. A legit receipt will be issued for the Utility Bond. It will be refunded at the end of your residency or can be credited to your last power bill-share, with any balance of funds returned to you.

PLEASE: NO PETS (we have wildlife - possums, lizards and birds - living in our yard) or COUPLES - the room only has SINGLE BED.
