Hi OzBargain,
I am just after a little bit of advice from anyone who has done something similar.
Basically I own a 3 bedroom townhouse. I am currently living in one of the bedrooms and plan to rent the other 2 out.
As this is the first time I have ever done anything like this, I am a little confused about what the responsibilities of each party are (landlord/renter).
What is generally included in rent when renting a single room within a house? The tenants would have access to a shared bathroom, living areas, yard, kitchen etc.
Does a renters rent include bills? Water/Electricity/internet/strata etc? Or does the rent cover all of that.
As a landlord, what am I required to provide them? I have done some of my own research through some websites but its not really clear as to who pays what, unless it is agreed upon at the time the renter moves on, example to pay $200 a week rent plus splitting bills etc.
Any advice would be great!
It includes whatever you decide. Not strata though.
