12 months leases are preferred, however, upon application, a 6-month lease will be considered.

Tenants are responsible for cleaning up after themselves and must adhere to the cleaning roster that is provided. Each week a tenant is responsible for cleaning a common area of the property to ensure it is clean and hygienic at all times. If there are vacant rooms the existing tenants must share in looking after these and all common areas.

We ask that you fill out an application form and provide referees for us to contact. Your application is then presented to the landlord for approval. We conduct reference checks on all tenants to ensure they are of good character. We require two week’s bond and one week’s rent in advance. Further advance payments can be arranged if agreed by both parties in writing. Payment of rent must be made by electronic funds transfer to our Trust Account. Upon successful application, we will provide you with our Trust Account details.

A vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket are provided. Tenants are responsible for purchasing all cleaning products such as detergents, dishwashing tablets if applicable, sponges and cleaning cloths for example. The cost and payment of these items need to be handled and agreed by all tenants in the property.

We put a cap on all utilities to ensure all tenants respect the usage of these services and the environment. This makes tenants accountable if they are doing the wrong thing by leaving air-conditioners, lights or electrical appliances running all day long which can be extremely costly and dangerous if not restricted.

We will always try and place you in a property we believe you will be most suited for. At our meeting, you will be informed of the other tenants’ ages, sex, and nationalities. All tenants are reference checked to ensure they are of good character.

If other tenants are not doing their share of cleaning we ask you to contact us so we can rectify this situation. If they then ignore our requests for the cleaning to be completed we will arrange for a cleaner to be sent in at their cost.

Inspections are generally carried out every 3 months, however, if we believe the house rules and cleaning roster are not being followed, then we may inspect the property on a monthly basis. We do this to ensure that all tenants are living in a clean, hygienic, and happy environment.

We will send a gardener in from time to time to give the garden a tidy up but this will be at the owner’s and our discretion. We ask tenants to inform us when they feel the garden requires attention.

Shared Living SA’s properties come fully furnished, however, if you would like to bring small items of furniture you can do so as long as they fit in your room and are not left in any common areas of the share house.
