New flatmate needed!

There will be an ad in Saturday the 4th of July for someone to share our granny flat. We had a disaster in the granny flat, our last tenant lit a fire in the flat and much of the appliances were burnt/damaged. It was also not being kept in good condition. I've never seen so many beer bottles

The flat:

The flat is furnished with a couch, table setting, double bed, fridge, TV, provided. The flat is separate to the rest of the house, being at the rear of our property. It has a separate bedroom (air conditioned), lounge (small aircon) bathroom and toilet. There is also a shared patio area just outside the flat. Kitchen facilities are in the main house and will be shared with us. There is a microwave and gas stove. There are shared laundry facilities (washing machine, dryer and two clotheslines) It is expected that you supply your own pots/cooking items and crockery. Cable TV (Austar) is also inside the flat and is supplied on a separate box at half the monthly fee

There is also off street parking. We don't own a car so you'll have unhindered access to the driveway.

The granny flat is keyed seperately to the main house and each of the room is able to be locked. The house is close to Hibiscus, Casuarina Square and Lee Point Beach. There are several schools, parks and shops close by. It's a five minute away walk to a number 3 bus stop and a ten minute walk away from a number 10 bus stop. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to Cas Square.There is no internal phone line in the flat.

What we're looking for in a flatmate:

• someone quiet, easy going, easy to get along with
  
• must be working full time
  
• pays rent and bills on time
  
• non smokers will be given preference (the fire was caused by a cigarette)
  
• people who drink moderately or not at all only need apply
  
• tolerant of animals
  

Conditions of tenancy

Due to problems with previous tenant we're going to have to change the way we rent our granny flat. If you are unable to abide by any of the following conditions then please don't not apply for residence

• an initial one month inspection of flat (notice will be given, when tenant is present)


• after this point inspections will happen every three months under same conditions
  
• cleaning is a must, the flat has just bee repainted throughout and new furniture and appliances put in. Non maintenance of the flat and fixtures will result in termination of lease
  
• non-payment of bills or rent will also result in termination


• any damage (outside of normal wear and tear, faults, natural disasters etc) will be expected to be paid for by the tenant
