Details
Lovely and light filled but with block out blinds. The available room is the 'master suit' and has loads of natural light as well as a split system for heating/,cooling it also has an 'ensuite door' however we've generally don't used it as the bathroom is shared with me, so if the main door's shut it's occupied... I guess a knock would be ok. There is a wonderful large bathtub, and separate shower.

Home Description

Description of the home

The house has timber flooring and carpet in the bedrooms and is almost brand new. The previous tenant 'moved out' and was supposed to continue to pay until October (when our lease renews). we have been advised of a rent increase in October that will make the rent $1,043.each a month. I'll add more pics once I'm finished cleaning everything and it should be available for viewing later this week. Currently 2 tenants both living on the disability support pension and we generally stay in our rooms for the most part but aren't completely antisocial and love a good chat. We're on a beautifully quiet street, public transport is close, however our furniture is a little sparse because the previous tenant put a lot out for hard waste, bought his own furniture, and took it with him when he moved out so we're in the process of getting 'new' furniture for the downstairs open plan area.... the backyard has also been covered with artificial grass, I'll try to update the photo in the coming days, the same with the bedroom.

Bills and expenses

At the moment we're only paying for electricity and internet as being on concession cards we still have rebates available for gas & water. Electricity is around $120 per month (divided by 3 so $40 each) and the internet is around $100. or $33.33 each a month. We also subscribe to a large amount of streaming services (Netflix, Disney, Apple, Paramount, HBO Max, Stan, and Binge - I think that's all) that you're welcome to use but you'll have to pay your share (a third of course) your third. There's also coax cable connection for free to air TV.

About occupants
Hi, I'm Sarah, (47/48F) I share this house with Ben (31/32M) -we both have birthdays in November.... currently and we've been here almost a year. Our landlord is fantastic and honestly the loveliest guy you could hope for as a land lord. Ben and I are pretty quiet, we generally watch TV in our rooms. There's currently no TV in the open-plan because again, it belonged to the previous tenant. We need to get quite a few things which we'll work out when the new tenant (you) move in.
Compatible people
We are looking for someone quiet above all else, we're grown and didn't appreciate our past housemate blasting music in the open plan area regularly -occasionally is fine but every day would not be appreciated. 'Clean' as well of course as since we've moved in I've been doing ALL the cleaning of messes I didn't make. I guess just a respectful housemate who gets the boundaries and blends with us well.
Description of pets
I'm currently looking to foster a dog in need so I can't give much information but they'll most likely be a 'staffy' type dog as they seem to be the most in need. The dog will be entirely my responsibility and please let me know your boundaries with dogs so I can respect them. If you have a dog please let me know as we're negotiable on the 'no pets' clause especially if it's before I get my dog.
