    Am I poor or desperate enough to think that 800/mth is on the high end of reasonable?

    Although paying rent every week like they do in Australia is crazy to me still.

      For a caravan in the driveway of someone’s semi-rural property?

      Sadly it is. I regularly go into Brisbane and have seen the amount of folks sleeping rough at least triple in the list couple of years.

      Yeah it is, most rooms are 200+ in the inner suburbs, 3 bedrooms are easily 6-800/wk. I was somewhat depressed by the number of people bombarding me with offers when we had a spare room to fill.

    I don’t think listing is meant as somewhere to live (I hope) I think it’s meant for someone to rent to go on a roadtrip/camping with

    Edit: I missed the long term part at the bottom :(

      Seeing how the rent is on a weekly basis I think so too. Drop 200 bucks and take out the family to the sea for a nice camping trip

        Seeing as you’re from another instance I’m guessing you’re not from Australia, and came across this thread on /All?

        Weekly rent is, for some weird reason, the norm here. I know most of the world does it monthly, and frankly I think that makes more sense. But it’s not how we do things in Aus.
