Where to post ads for room accommodation?

I have a spare room that I want to rent out. What are the best websites for these kind of classifieds besides gumtree?

  • Uni bulletin boards (paper)

    Uni students - especially from overseas - tend to be low-risk
    (or were, B4 the Pandemic…)

    The closer you are to (public transport to) a Uni campus,
    the more popular your ad will be


    New (since Pandemic):

    Don't be shy about insisting, that the person get & show you
    (B4 entering) an "all-clear" health certificate vis a vis COVID-19

    I hate to add, both for Aussies & Overseas applicants:

    • Ask about travel (past & future desto's) &

    • Confirm the reply by flipping thru the person's Passport

    • +1

      You want people to get tested if they aren't symptomatic and have no need to think they have been exposed, just to rent a share room?

      Yeah, our health systems definitely going to fail faster if idiots start doing that.

      • Not only that but 5 minutes after you get the all clear you can contract it. Further wasting everyone's time.

  • On the internet.

    • What's that?

      • It is this thing where they connect these computers to some interweb thingy and then you send the megahurtz over the phone line and get text to your screen in return.

  • Carsales.com.au

    Seriously

    Flatmates.com.au

    Research .3 second google search

    • Flatmates.c.a used to be the worst. All scams & scumbag agents.
      Has it improved?

      • No idea , I don’t need a flatmate

    • I know that there are flatmates.com.au, Craigslist, and Facebook marketplace. I just want to check if there are actually other popular avenues that I am not aware of.

  • local buy, swap, sell pages on Fakebook??

  • Melbourne has a Facebook page called Fairy Floss Real Estate (creates by people who needed roommates). it is where a lot of my friends have found places to stay or roommates. Surely your city has something on Facebook?

    • How do you find that out? I am in Brisbane.

      • Friends of friends? Ask people you know who have had to find a room or roommate
