Hi all,
responses have been overwhelming, even Hamish & Andy have been joking about us! We’re trying to improve this page so more of you can list your housing requirements/ supplies. Keep registering for the e-news and we’ll keep you posted on the next event.
cheers K2 & the Earthsharing team
Speed Renting

Fast Forward to a better living environment
Next event: Tuesday July 28th, 6.30 - 8pm, The Comfortable Chair, 98 Lygon St.
Essential - Register for Speed Renting (so we can fit in as many as possible!)
The Speed Renting Forum is available to look for rooms to rent, or to offer rooms for rent.
Our next event will be on Tuesday July 28th at the Comfortable Chair, Lygon St (north of Brunswick Rd). After a successful event at this new venue in the heart of the share-household funkster community, we are happy to announce that this will be a regular event - mark down the 4th tuesday of the month as your Speed Renting opportunity to test the market for places to live. The next one post July is - yes you guessed it - August 25th.
***Please note room seekers - at 3 out of our 4 gigs there have been more rooms on offer than we could fill. Housing affordability crisis?!!! You know it is media warfare out there, with the property lobby trying to ‘market’ scarcity so we all pay higher rents. Now we have a regular alternative so the renting community can interact outside of the real estate monopoly.
Please register your interest so we can coordinate householders with room seekers. Make sure you tick the correct box in the rego form re whether you have a spare room to offer (householder) or you are looking for a room (room seeker). This will help us in assisting the renting community via the right people living in the right place.
First, we need you to subscribe to the e-list above. You will then receive updates on this event. The most important element - an RSVP type email will follow asking which time segment you prefer on the night (so we can fit as many people in).
The free nature of the event relies on you passing this website/ flyer/ e-news onto friends/ networks.
If we get bombarded with people registering, we will hold more events this year. The more help, the more regularly we will hold the event. Online promotion is the key.
Remember: Rent - dont buy in this GFC time!
It’s been great to see the feedback with people having found new abodes following our 4 events so far.
If you want to help us help you, be a rebel and put up a poster in your local laundrette!
Contact us - volunteers@earthsharing.org.au if you want to take us further!
Please make the most of the Speed Renting Forum to look for rooms to rent, or for those offering a place for the perfect dishwasher.
