Maximise yield from your purpose-built asset.
CoHab Studios is a specialist coliving manager. We treat your rooming house like our own — tenant selection, compliance, maintenance and reporting handled end-to-end, on a flat fee that keeps our incentives aligned with yours.
Talk directly with our director, Carolina Gaitan.
A management partner built for coliving — not bolted on.
Generic property managers treat rooming houses as an afterthought. We've designed our entire operation around purpose-built coliving — from tenant matching to compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act and rooming house standards.
Flat fixed fee
One predictable monthly fee — no per-room markups, no surprises. We earn when you earn.
Compliance handled
Rooming house registration, smoke alarms, RTA disclosures, Class 1b/3 standards — covered.
Tenant selection
Rigorous screening, background and reference checks, plus housemate fit — for lower turnover.
Maintenance network
Vetted local trades in every region we serve. Same-day triage, transparent quoting.
Owner reporting
Monthly statements, occupancy and yield dashboards, and quarterly portfolio reviews.
Boots on the ground
Local managers across Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Gippsland.
Cashflow-positive, by design.
A purpose-built rooming house typically delivers materially higher gross yield than a single tenancy on the same footprint. We help you model it, manage it, and keep it that way.
