What is shared house in Australia, also called share house or flatshare, is house 3 to 5 bedrooms 150 to 250 sqm where 3 to 5 unrelated people share, each paying rent $200 to $400 per week per room plus bills $50 to $100 per week, sharing kitchen $15K to $50K, bathroom $10K to $30K and living areas, with total rent $600 to $1,600 per week for house $500K to $1M value, common for students and young professionals due to affordability. Shared house in Australia is house rented by group of unrelated people, typically 3 to 5 persons, each with own bedroom $200 to $400 per week and shared common areas kitchen, bathroom, living and laundry, with total rent $600 to $1,600 per week for 3 to 5 bed house $500K to $1M value, split among sharers $200 to $400 each per week plus bills $50 to $100 each for electricity, water, internet and gas $200 to $400 per month total. For example, 4 bed house 200 sqm $800 per week rent in Sydney, 4 persons share each $200 per week plus bills $50 = $250 per week per person, versus renting 1 bed unit $400 to $600 per week saving $150 to $350 per week. Shared house agreement includes rent, bond $800 to $1,600 total 4 weeks rent, bills split, cleaning roster and guest policy, with tenancy types joint tenancy all names on lease or individual room agreements. Council may classify as rooming house if 3+ unrelated sharing requires fire safety $5K to $10K and council approval $500 to $1K. So shared house is 3 to 5 bed house $500K to $1M value rented by 3 to 5 unrelated people each $200 to $400 per week per room plus bills $50 to $100, sharing kitchen and bathroom, total rent $600 to $1,600 per week, common for students and young professionals due to affordability $200 to $400 versus $400 to $600 for 1 bed unit saving $150 to $350 per week.
