Share houses in Perth
Perth share houses tend to be larger detached homes, which means more communal space than the eastern capitals and more emphasis on how a house is run day to day.

Once you have found the room
Finding a room in Perth is the hard part. Living in it well is the part that decides whether you stay. Before your first rent day, agree who pays what and when, and put it somewhere everyone can see rather than in a group chat.
