Share house guides
Everything we know about share housing done well — practical, specific, and written from the inner north. No padding, no listicles pretending to be advice.
Where your bond legally lives (never a landlord's pocket), what to check before paying, and how to get it all back — RTBA, RBO and RTA explained.
Where Melburnians actually find housemates, how to write an ad that works, what to ask at the inspection, and how to move fast without getting burned.
The questions that reveal how someone really lives — rhythm, cleaning, money, guests, conflict — plus the answers that should give you pause.
The warning signs in ads, inspections, interviews and money conversations — including the classic bond scams — and what to do about each one.
Even split, weighted or rotation? How Australian share houses handle energy, internet and one-off costs — and exactly what to put in writing.
