Happy Landlords & Tenants
Managing a rooming house or share house in Melbourne differs from standard residential management, it requires a specialist who understands the rules, risks, and returns.
We provide a complete range of shared accommodation management services, helping landlords reduce vacancy, improve operations, and manage rooms more efficiently.
Note: Calendar monthly amount is calculated using a 365-day year divided by 12.

Standard property management handles single-tenancy rentals under a single lease. Rooming house management involves multiple individual tenants, separate leases for each room, shared facilities, house rules, and a completely different compliance environment. ShareHouseManagers is built exclusively for this – we understand the legal obligations, tenant dynamics, and income potential of Melbourne share houses in a way that a general agency cannot.
On average, Melbourne share houses generate 15–30% more rental income than comparable standard rentals because you earn income room by room rather than per property. Our team maximizes your yield through strategic pricing, rapid vacancy filling, and effective room presentation. Book a free appraisal and receive a specific income projection for your property.
Yes. We manage share houses and rooming houses across inner, middle, and outer Melbourne suburbs, including Hawthorn, Box Hill, Clayton, Footscray, Ringwood, Brunswick, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage in your area.
Our arrears management process begins immediately after a missed payment. We follow strict VCAT-compliant procedures, issuing breach notices, managing repayment plans, and, if necessary, commencing tribunal proceedings on your behalf. Monthly payouts to owners are protected by our trust account structure.
A rooming house (also called a houseshare or co-living property) is a residential property where four or more people rent individual rooms under separate lease agreements, sharing common areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, and lounge. In Melbourne, rooming houses are regulated under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 and must meet specific standards. ShareHouseManagers ensures every property it manages is fully compliant.
Most rooms in our managed properties are furnished, including beds, wardrobes, and desks. Shared areas are fully equipped. All-inclusive bills for electricity, gas, water, and internet are available in select properties. Specific room inclusions are clearly listed on each property page.
Every tenant in our managed properties is individually screened and verified before moving in. We consistently enforce house rules, conduct quarterly inspections, and provide tenants with direct access to their property manager. Our managed homes are safe, well-maintained, and professionally supervised.
