I know for a fact that a 2 bed apartment in some of these locations doesn’t cost upwards of $2800 a month so people are obviously having their rent subsidised by the person moving in!

The prices that people are asking for sub-par apartments on here are absolutely ridiculous, I want to move out with someone decent so I can save a bit of money (I love living alone but sharing with a decent person can be a good shout as well!).

I am currently living in a pretty sexy 1 bed apartment in Southbank – I know for a fact that the 2 bed apartments here go for around $2000 unfurnished. I have the majority of furnishings needed for a new house – the only thing needed is a flat mate!

Housemate wise – you should be in a decent job – (shifts dont really work when only one person does it especially as most Melbourne apartments are poorly built internally and it would mean both of us tip-toeing around), reliable, Clean & tidy but not anal about it, be sociable but have your own life and understand that personal space is needed

Ill be signing up for premium membership tomorrow but here are my pre-requisites for an apartment:

1) Parking – I have a car so parking is pretty crucial
2) Pool / Gym / Recreation – Didnt think id use mine as much as I currently do
3) Central – I am looking at somewhere within walking distance of the CBD if possible – if not maybe a short tram / train journey – where I am living at the moment is perfect near the greenery of the Botanical Gardens
4) Decent Kitchen!

5) Would be nice to have an En-Suite but not crucial!

So get in touch if this sounds like something you want, We can split everything 50/50 from the start and not end up paying a ridiculous amount!

BTW – I am not going to rush into this – it is more important for me to find a decent person and a decent place to live with than to rush into something for the sake of it!
