UniRenter helps Australian university students find compatible housemates, navigate lease transfers, and settle into accommodation — without the stress.
Most housing platforms show you listings and leave you to figure out the rest. UniRenter is a settlement companion — from finding your first housemate to managing your tenancy, understanding your rights, and navigating a lease transfer.
It's built by a student, for students. No advertising, no hidden fees, no spam. Students are free forever.
Housing stress is one of the biggest barriers to a good study experience in Australia. International students arrive in an unfamiliar city, often weeks before semester starts, navigating a rental market that wasn't designed for them. Domestic students face cost pressure, confusing lease terms, and housemate mismatch that disrupts their study.
UniRenter exists to fix that. Not just by helping students find a room, but by guiding them through everything that comes after — their rights, their lease, their housemates, and their community. When students are settled, they can focus on why they came to Australia in the first place.
Build a profile in under 5 minutes. We match you with compatible students based on sleep schedules, lifestyle, budget, and location.
Australia's only free lease transfer marketplace built for students. Post or find a lease transfer listing, with a guided six-step handover.
Plain-English guides covering repairs, bond, inspections, and your rights in each state — always attributing to the relevant authority.
Built into every page. Cob nudges you at the right moment — profile tips, date reminders, safety checks on listings, and tenancy questions answered.
Connect your lease dates and UniRenter auto-populates your condition report deadline, inspection schedule, renewal window, and notice-to-vacate date.
Guides for international students settling into Australian life — banking, SIM cards, transport, and finding community in a new city.
UniRenter covers Australia's main university cities. Each city has its own matching pool, lease transfer board, suburb guides, and dedicated renter's guide.
UniRenter is free for students, permanently. Revenue comes from the supply side: landlords, agents, and outgoing tenants who need to break a lease pay a small fee. Students never will.
There are no ads on UniRenter. Advertisers don't pay to appear in recommendations, and Cob will never be paid to suggest a product or service.
