A rooming house is an accommodation where multiple people rent individual rooms while sharing common areas such as the kitchen, bathroom and living spaces.

There are many reasons why living in a rooming house may be suitable for you.

Affordability: Renting a rooming house is a highly affordable option with all bills and utilities included in the monthly rent.

Flexibility: We often provide rental options that would suit your situation.

Convenience: Our fully-furnished rentals save you the hassle of purchasing furniture and setting up utilities.

Trusted: All our rooming houses are registered with local councils and fully licensed.

Rent is paid monthly, on the first of each month.

As per Consumer Affairs Victoria, here’s how calendar monthly rent is calculated.

Weekly Rate : 7 days = Daily Rate

Yes, you have to pay a bond equivalent to one month’s rent.

Your bond will be transferred to the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA), a government body that holds your bond.

You will receive your lease agreement once the full payment has been received and all required documents are complete.

Yes, you can book as early as a month before your intended move-in date. To reserve, make sure to pay the deposit.

The deposit consists of the first month’s rent, bond, and a cleaning fee.

Yes, it’s okay to book even if you don’t have your student visa yet. As long as you make full payment, the room will be fully secured for you. However, please note that we cannot send you the agreement before all required documents are complete. If your visa is not approved, don’t worry, we will give you a 100% refund.

Common areas in the property include the kitchen and laundries. If your room doesn’t have an ensuite, you will have to share the bathroom.

We have weekly inspections on most of our properties. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.

Security is a high priority at RoomingKos. All properties require fob access or a door code to enter, and each room is equipped with a door lock.
