Your home doesn't just get built. It gets lived in.
Living Rooms is the part of the promise most investors never think to ask about — who fills the rooms, who looks after the house, and who makes it somewhere people actually want to stay. It's been part of The HMO Property Co since our very first renovation.
A built house is only half the job.
Anyone can hand you a finished property. The return only shows up if the right people move in, stay, pay on time and treat the home well — week after week, year after year.
That's the half most investors discover the hard way. It's why Living Rooms was built into the business from day one, rather than handed to a managing agent who'd never run a co-living home before.
- Occupancy — rooms filled with housemates chosen to suit the household, not just the first applicant.
- Retention — people who feel at home stay longer, so you're not repeatedly re-letting rooms.
- Care of your asset — fortnightly cleaning, clear house rules and a property manager who knows the home.
- One point of contact — sourced, built and managed under one roof. Nothing falls between providers.
Everything included. Nothing to think about.
The offer that keeps rooms full — and keeps your asset performing.
Just bring your suitcase
Every room and shared space is fully furnished and ready to live in, with digital lock entry on each bedroom door. No removalists, no fit-out, no empty house.
Bills included
Rent covers utilities, water, wifi and cleaning of the common areas — one weekly figure, so housemates can budget and stay.
Fortnightly cleaning
Common areas are professionally cleaned every fortnight. The home stays in the condition you handed it over in.
Consumables supplied
Bin bags, sponges, dishwashing liquid — the small shared things that cause friction between housemates, taken off the table.
Monthly events
We bring residents together across Perth. Connected housemates stay longer — and look after the place they live in.
Housemate rules
Clear expectations from day one, built around cooperation, support and friendship. Everyone knows how the home works.
We choose housemates, not just tenants.
A co-living home lives or dies on who's in it. One wrong housemate can empty a house — so we don't simply fill a vacancy and hope. Every applicant views the room and the shared spaces in person, and meets our property manager, so we can check they're right for the household already living there.
It's slower than taking the first application. It's also why our homes hold together, and why residents tell us the housemates matter as much as the house.
Check availability
Housemates search live rooms by suburb and preference.
Book a viewing
Our property manager arranges a time to walk them through.
Meet at the home
They see the room and the shared spaces — and we check they're a fit for the household.
Sign the agreement
An online occupancy agreement, and they're part of the community.
Co-living wins on the maths.
Housemates aren't compromising — they're better off. That's what keeps a waitlist behind your rooms. Here's a typical week in a furnished room in Belmont, against renting privately.

We've already thought about it.
Where does everyone park? What stops six strangers turning it into a share house?
They're the first two questions out of almost every owner's mouth — and every prospect's. Fair enough, too: six bedrooms, six bathrooms and six lives under one roof only works if somebody has sat down and worked out the detail. After more than a thousand rooms, we have.
Parking is the one everyone assumes will be a problem, and it rarely is. Not every housemate drives — a good number choose co-living precisely because they're close to work, transport and the things they need. For those who do, the double garage is rented separately at $10 a week per bay. It's a small thing that does two jobs at once: it settles the parking question, and it turns a garage into income rather than storage.
As for the share-house question: nobody moves in on a handshake. Every housemate signs an occupancy agreement and a clear set of house rules from day one — built around cooperation, support and friendship — so expectations are agreed before someone moves in, not argued about afterwards. Common areas are professionally cleaned every fortnight and shared consumables are supplied, because the small things are what turn into the big things. Bills come bundled into one weekly figure, so there's nothing to dispute over a meter. And when someone does move on, the room goes straight back into our live listings and matching process — viewings, a meet with the property manager, and a fit check against the household already there.
None of it is improvised. Every one of those answers is a documented system, run by a team who do nothing else — refined across 1,000+ rooms since 2017, and tightened every time we learned something the hard way so that you don't have to.
That's the whole point of doing this under one roof. You shouldn't have to become an expert in co-living to own one.
A property management team built for co-living.
Six people who do nothing but this — matching housemates, running viewings, handling maintenance, keeping the community together and your asset in good order. Not a generalist agent juggling co-living alongside a rent roll of single-lease homes.
They're led by Jasmine Adams, General Manager of Living Rooms, and they're the reason the systems above are systems rather than good intentions.
And the industry agrees.
Living Rooms hasn't just reimagined co-living — it's been recognised for it, winning the Innovation Award at the REIWA Awards for Excellence three years running.
