Could Coliving Be The Answer To Renting Woes In Australia?
If you've got rental issues, seek help.
What are some of the best and worst renting experiences and trends for 2020? A Hmlet survey reveals insights into rental trends, as well as highlights issues that are plaguing the renting experience in Australia.
From dealing with unresponsive landlords and inflexible leases to sharing with flatmates who have nothing in common — if you’re currently a renter yourself, how many of these experiences resonate with you?
Size matters
Nine out of ten 18-34 year olds view the Sydney market as unaffordable and lacking variety and six out of ten respondents would consider moving to a larger property if they had flatmates to move with. This showcases the huge barrier of rental apartments and houses where Sydneysiders are unable to afford the entire property or relying on flatmates to make it happen.
Living with Hmlet helps to tackle this issue, as members are able to move into individual bedrooms, rather than take a lease on an entire property, with a range of room options to choose from - from studios to 4-bedroom shared apartments.
Fixing problems
Around 60% all respondents living with flatmates mentioned that they forget to purchase household items such as laundry detergent, when it is their ‘turn’ to buy the necessary daily items.
We recognise how such items can be forgotten which is why Hmlet provides house amenities and on-site laundry service.
Flatmate matching
53% of 18-24 year olds find it hard to find good flatmates in their city. We foster a strong sense of community by organising events for members and creating a network across all Hmlet properties, resulting in meaningful relationships and creating a friendly environment within apartments and in the wider community. As a result, 89% of our community members say they are compatible with their flatmates and 82% say they regularly engage with their flatmates.
People want to be part of a community and our properties are designed with community in mind, featuring common areas like lounges and rooftops, providing members with an additional touch point to interact and connect.
