Your rent does not cover any home cleaning services or garden/yard maintenance. We do not include these components because many of our residents are eligible for government-funded services that cover this kind of work, as well as many other services such as personal care and meal preparation. We can assist you in accessing these services.

Yes. We require all incoming residents to agree and sign the Calyptus Co-living Residents Charter that commits housemates to respecting each others privacy.

You may not smoke inside our homes. You may only smoke outside.

We will only enter the home to conduct maintenance and repair work, or for scheduled inspections. You will receive notification of any entry intentions in advance, in accordance with the state residential tenancies legislation.

It is the responsibility of the tenants to maintain the gardens. If you are unable to do so, we can arrange a gardening and mowing service at an additional cost to you. Alternatively, we can assist you to obtain a government-funded service to maintain your yard.

Calyptus organises repairs and maintenance on behalf of the property owner.

Co-living is a new style of housing that provides residents with convenient living and the option of socialising with housemates in generous, furnished spaces. Homes are designed to feature a collaborative “community” culture where residents share similar interests and values and look out for each other.

Our co-living residents occupy a room in a share house under a standard residential tenancies lease. All residents have their own bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe. Kitchen, living and dining areas in the home are shared spaces where you can enjoy social time with your housemates.

Rooms are varying sizes and depend on the home.

Bedroom furniture is not included – you will need your own bed, bedside table and drawers. All shared space furniture and appliances are provided.

We screen all applicants and try to match housemates with similar interests. Where possible we will try to arrange a meet and greet with your potential housemates before you make a decision.

Calyptus provides a flatmate screening matching service to try and create the ideal household. All potential residents are screened and interviewed to ensure they understand the concepts behind community co-living and fit the culture.

Alternatively, we encourage interested potential residents to team up with their friends to create their own households. If you have a collection of your friends ready to go into a Calyptus Co-living home, then get in touch with us today with your preferred location so we can source the ideal property for you.

For your bedroom – yes. We will try to accommodate any other special pieces that you may wish to bring.

Calyptus provides each home with a generic set of house rules for the efficient running of the house. Residents are encouraged to agree and add their own house rules.

Calyptus co-living is specially designed for seniors looking for affordable, appropriate rental accommodation in a shared environment with like-minded people.

If you are tired of living alone in your house, co-living can provide you with easy social interaction when you want it, as well as the security of knowing you are all looking out for each other.

We like to sign our residents on to a fixed-term lease, typically a short initial period (three months) to make sure the co-living home is working for all stakeholders. Following the initial three-moth period, we will execute a longer-term lease with residents.

It is not unusual for disagreements to occur in community living environments. If you have a dispute with a housemate we encourage you to try and solve it between yourselves.

We use standard residential tenancy leases.

Please register for our waiting list and note where you would like to live. We are constantly sourcing new properties and will notify you as soon as we have one available in your area.

We maintain waiting lists of people seeking co-living accommodation. When one of your housemates leaves, we will work with the remaining tenants to find a suitable replacement.

Not necessarily. We encourage our residents to maintain active lifestyles.

Some of our properties allow pets. We know the importance of pets to your health and wellbeing and we try to source properties that accept pets. If you do want to have a pet you may be required to pay for an annual pest spray.

Your fortnightly rental payment covers electricity and water usage, wifi and emergency call monitoring. Any additional services that you connect such as cable or streaming TV must be paid for by you.
