Looking for Two New Rental Housemates to Team Up – Eastern Suburbs 🌈Queer and ND Friendly Hello! My name’s Cole (24, he/him), and I am writing this on behalf of myself and my housemate/best mate Mia (25, she/her). We’re looking to team up with another pair of friends who are on the hunt for a new rental and want to create a warm and respectful home environment together. Our current rental is sadly set to be demolished at the start of July, so we are on the lookout for our next home. We had initially hoped to just find a two-bedroom, but the reality of the rental market made it clear we needed to rethink. That’s when we clicked and discussed that we could try to find another friend duo like us, and team up to secure something better! We are currently based in Wantirna South and are hoping to find a four-bedroom house somewhere in the eastern suburbs. Our ideal locations include: Bayswater Bayswater North Boronia Ferntree Gully Kilsyth Knoxfield Mooroolbark Scoresby Wantirna Wantirna South We’re looking for: - A four-bedroom home, ideally with two living areas so each pair can have their own space and unwind as they need. - One of you is open to taking the master bedroom with an ensuite and happy to contribute slightly more towards rent in exchange for the extra space and privacy. - Housemates who have ideally lived together for 6–12 months or have clear plans to move in together. - People who are queer or queer friendly, and ideally understand the neurodivergent experience. - Individuals who identify as female or non-binary – this is the dynamic that works best for our home. - People who have rental/share house experience, with the ability to communicate openly. - 420-friendly (we light incense regularly too, so not ideal for those with scent sensitivities). - No pets, we adore animals, but we already have one cat: Sarge, an independent, elderly gentleman who is very much settled in his ways. - Preferably not working from home, just so there’s space and balance for everyone. - Stable income/consistent work to meet rental and bill commitments. - And in general: folks who are clean, respectful, and want their house to be a safe space and sanctuary, not a party spot. We already have crockery and cutlery, a washing machine, new microwave and a fridge. If needed we could organise a set up with two fridges if you have one too, as I would like to keep mine as it was a gift from my late grandmother. About us 🧜🏻♂️Cole (he/him) Hi! I’m 24, vegan, and currently working part-time at the Jim’s Group contact centre while studying part time towards my Cert III/IV in Fitness. Once I have completed my certificates, I’ll move into a personal training role while still working at Jim's until I find my feet, with my next goal to enroll in university to complete a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science. I am passionate about creating inclusive, affirming exercise spaces – particularly for queer people and people with disabilities. If I am not studying, or working, you will find me in the gym, and when I have the capacity, I love to cook, especially for my partner, Angelina. We have been together for over a year, and fun fact: she's been one of Mia’s closest friends for ten years (yes, we had Mia’s permission to go on our first date). Ange will likely visit on weekends, or sometimes I will go to her house. We are respectful of shared spaces and thanks to Mia’s training, we keep the coupley stuff to ourselves. I have recently adopted Sarge, a 10-year-old domestic short-haired cat who is independent, and very relaxed. He mostly naps, snacks, loafs or shrimps. He loves to venture outside, so finding somewhere with a backyard is a must. He truly is the sweetest boy, and I am excited to find him his next long term home. 👩🏼🎨Mia (she/her) (so gay that when I'm stressed out I have nightmares I'm hetero) Hello! I’m 25, and have been renting since 2022. I have two casual jobs that I have worked at for years, that make my schedule unpredictable and always different, which is great for me and the way my brain operates. I have a creative mind and studied fashion design before deciding to move on to other artistic/autistic adventures, my current mediums of choice are paint and clay. I usually spend my free time painting, sculpting or binge watching TV shows. I am a gardening enthusiast, in both senses, and some of my houseplants will probably live in the lounge/communal areas if that's something that works for all of us. I’m generally a clean person, a practiced ninja when it comes to moving around the home while others are sleeping/focusing (unless I step in water), and honestly probably a 50/50 split between an actual lunatic and a non verbal frog. I value clear and concise communication above almost all else, and acts of service are my love language. I love to help people I care about but I will cut myself off if I feel it is not appreciated or I am being taken for granted or advantage of. I’ve experienced both ends of the share house spectrum, from housemates who fit into the above category, to the complete opposite. Living with Cole has been so amazing. We work hard to communicate openly, are honest and can work through issues and come to compromises in a way that I hope we can translate to our larger group dynamic. Our home is calm and respectful, colourful and truly brings me happiness. One of my favourite parts of moving out of my family home was furnishing and designing our unit. I love furniture and accessories that bring a smile to my face and remind me that being alive is beautiful. As a neurodivergent person I have discovered the things I value most in people are kindness, direct communication, the willingness/ability to see different perspectives, patience and empathy. I’m really looking forward to creating a home that feels like a sanctuary; calm, intentional, and shared with people who also see home as a place to recharge and truly be themselves. If you are two friends who are looking for a fresh start, are reliable renters, and want to live in a house that feels like a home, please send us a message! Tell us a bit about you both, what you're looking for, and we can organise a time to catch up. Looking forward to meeting you! Cole & Mia
