Man, it's hard to find normal people in adelaide to live with. I've experienced some.. errr.. weirdo's.

So I thought.. HEY! I'll post on RA! (I'm sure that will be a BRILLIANT idea...)

I live in the city, about 5 mins walk from the mall. I've got a room (and a parking spot) with a fully furnished place three stories up overlooking a park.

The rent is $540 a fortnight.. so split, that's $270 a fortnight, or $135 a week.

Pretty decent place, but too expensivo for me to pay by myself. Pretty private, secure and wicked location.

If ya interested, let me know.

Otherwise whatever

I think you'd be better off to advertise on realestate.com.au .... you can interview people and choose who you want. Even get references too ( I think ? )

I'm $1500 poorer due to be jipped by people I used to live with. Wish I'd gone through an interview process, rather than advertising it on a forum ;p

"Renting/leasing" via any forum is a fail.

Need to do it via a agent with a contract

I found a few of my housemates through adelaideexchange - can't remember the exact website.

Its hit and miss though, one ended up being my best friend, the other a disgusting pig!
