Live and Work Like a Local

The staff at RoomingKos are super friendly genuine people who are helpful and approachable. They make the moving process simple and easy for tenants. Property managers are quick to respond to inquiries and keep on top of maintenance and cleanliness in common areas. I loved my time at Argyll street. I stayed for 2 years and it felt like my home away from home.

RoomingKos Caulfield has been my home away from home since the time I’ve landed in Melbourne in 2022. The managers are very kind and approachable. They are just a text/call away. Fabrianne manages really well and she is super friendly. Nathan and his entire team is doing great work. The location is highly convenient for students.

Freddie has demonstrated exceptional qualities as a manager of our student accommodation. Their commitment to maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of our shared spaces has made a significant positive impact on the living environment. Their exemplary behavior sets a high standard for others to follow. We are truly fortunate to have Freddie as a valued manager of our student housing community.

As a resident of this place since Feb 2023, I’ve been amazed by this Uni Lodge compared to my previous apartment. Chris being the most honest and loving person I’ve come to meet, he tells us countless times of how old this building is but he won’t talk about the spectacular views across the city from the 8th floor kitchen, the hard working people and the smiles at the reception.

This student accommodation is fantastic for those studying in Monash Caulfield. It’s quaint, cozy and very much comfortable. The managers are also very accommodating and they see to it that every tenant gets a smooth and perfect living experience in RoomingKos. Would highly recommend!

    Frequently Asked
    Questions

    What is a rooming house?

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

    Why should I choose a rooming house?

    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.

    Are bills and utilities included in the rent?
    Yes, all bills and utilities are included in the rent.
    How is rent calculated?

    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

    Daily Rate x 365 days : 12 months = Monthly Rate
    Do I have to pay a bond and how much?

    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.

    When will I get my lease agreement?

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

    Can I book in advance?

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

    What does the deposit consist of?

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

    Can I book if I don’t have my visa yet?

    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.

    What areas are shared in the property?

    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.

    When can I inspect the property?

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

    What is security like at the property?

    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.
