Room by Room Rental ManagementMore rent from the same house
A large home let room by room earns a rent from every bedroom instead of one. We price each room, match the tenants, collect the rent separately and keep the shared spaces in order.

Running a sharehouse for higher profit
It is the highest earning strategy available to owners of bigger properties, and the one almost nobody wants to run themselves.
Every room earns its own rent
A five bedroom home on a single lease collects one rent. The same home let room by room collects five, which is why owners of larger properties move across.
Vacancy costs you one room
When a whole of house lease ends, your income drops to zero until it is filled again. In a sharehouse one room turning over barely moves your monthly total.
Steady demand in Perth
Students, nurses, apprentices, FIFO workers and new arrivals all want a quality furnished room with bills included, and there are never enough of them.
The same home, two different strategies
| On the same home | Whole of house lease | Room by room |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays the rent | One tenant or one household on a single agreement | Each room pays its own rent on its own agreement |
| When someone leaves | The entire property sits vacant until it is leased again | One room sits vacant while every other room keeps paying |
| Bills and internet | Usually the tenant's responsibility | Included in the room rate and managed by us |
| Furnishing | Normally unfurnished | Furnished rooms and shared spaces, which is what lifts the rate |
| Admin and turnover | Low, one agreement and one bond | High, and handled entirely by Innogreen |
| Income potential | Market rent for the house | Typically well above a single lease on the same home |
Actual income depends on your property, its location, condition and how many rooms can be let. We model both options on your address before you commit to either.
Council rules and compliance
Letting rooms individually does not sit under the same rules as a whole of house lease. Depending on the number of residents, your local council may treat the property as a lodging house, and fire safety, parking and insurance conditions can apply. We check what applies to your address before a single room is advertised.
Who lives with who
A sharehouse succeeds or fails on the mix of people in it. We screen for lifestyle, work hours and length of stay, not just the ability to pay, because one bad match empties the other rooms.
More moving parts
Separate agreements, separate bonds, separate ledgers, shared bills, common area cleaning and more frequent turnover. That workload is the reason most owners never try it, and it is exactly what we take off you.
One clear statement
You see the property as a single line of income. One monthly statement showing every room, every payment, every cost and what landed in your account.
All the moving parts, handled
Six tenancies in one house is six times the administration. That is the part we take off you, and the reason most owners never run a sharehouse themselves.
Individual room pricing and marketing
Each room priced on its size, its light, its storage and whether it has an ensuite, then listed where the tenants who want it are actually looking.
Tenant matching that keeps the peace
We screen for lifestyle, work hours and expected length of stay, not just the ability to pay. One bad match empties the other rooms.
A separate agreement per room
Each resident on their own agreement with their own bond and their own ledger, so one person leaving or falling behind does not touch anyone else.
Bills, internet and cleaning included
Power, water, gas, internet and a regular clean of the shared areas are built into the room rate and administered by us as part of the service.
Inspections of rooms and shared areas
Routine inspections cover the private rooms and the kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces, with a photo report so you can see the standard being held.
Vacancies filled one room at a time
Rooms are re-advertised before they fall vacant wherever notice allows, so the gap between one resident leaving and the next arriving stays short.
What makes a sharehouse work
Not every home should be let this way. These are the things we look for before we recommend it.
- Four bedrooms and above, or three with a study that can be converted properly
- Busy suburbs near a university, hospital, TAFE or major transport line
- More than one bathroom, or a layout where a second can be added
- A kitchen and living area large enough for the number of residents
- Off street parking, or a location where residents will not need a car
- An owner comfortable with a furnished property and a higher turnover
Not sure room by room is right for your home? We model it against a long term lease and short stay on your actual address, then recommend whichever one pays best.
Compare all threeRoom by room questions
Instead of leasing your house to one tenant or one household on a single agreement, each bedroom is let separately with its own agreement and its own rent. Common areas, bills, internet and cleaning are managed as part of the service. On a larger home this usually produces more total income than a single whole of house lease, and a vacancy costs you one room instead of the entire property.
Letting rooms individually is common in Perth, but it does not sit under the same rules as a standard whole of house lease. Depending on the number of residents your local council may treat the property as a lodging house, and there can be fire safety, parking and insurance requirements attached. We check what applies to your address before any room is advertised, and we will tell you plainly if the property is not suited to it.
It depends on the number of lettable bedrooms, the suburb, the condition of the home and what the shared spaces are like. The honest answer is that we will not quote a multiplier before we have seen the property. We model the room by room income against a standard lease on your actual address, including the furnishing, bills and cleaning costs, and show you both bottom lines.
Yes. Furnished rooms and furnished shared spaces are what lift the rate and what this market expects, and they are a large part of why room by room out-earns a standard lease. We give you a furnishing list with realistic costs at the appraisal so it is a decision you make with the numbers in front of you.
We manage it, and we manage it early. House rules are set out in every agreement, shared areas are inspected routinely, and we deal with noise, cleaning or guest issues as soon as they are raised rather than letting them build. If someone is not working out, they are on their own agreement, so they can be moved on without affecting anyone else's tenancy.
They are built into the room rate and administered by us. Residents get an inclusive weekly rate with no separate accounts to open or close, and you get one monthly statement showing the income and every cost against it.
A percentage quoted in writing before you sign. It is our highest management rate because it is by far the most work: separate agreements, separate bonds, individual ledgers, shared bills, common area cleaning and far more frequent turnover. There are no hidden charges and no long lock in period.
