Hello,
My girlfriend and I are moving to Perth soon from Ireland and Canada, respectively. We've found a good, shared, rental house where we want to stay in Bayswater, but we're a bit concerned about the cost:
The house costs the tenants $720/month total + utilities. With us moving in, there would be 6 tenants. We've been told that if we both move in and share a room, we would still each have to pay the division of $720 / 6. Is this normal? Paying per person, even if we're sharing a room? I've heard of paying a percentage on top, but not paying double.
Further, we would be expected to pay a bond of 4weeks rent upon arrival. The approximate cost of our first month, each, would be $1042 with everything factored in.
Can anyone tell me if this is an outrageous price or if it's somewhat normal??
All help is really welcome!
Thanks
