Saving rent and house sitting
We all know that renting can be a costly exercise but how much can you save using our services?
Let’s take a look at an example.
John and Megan were paying $200 a week in rent, 10 weeks rent would cost $2,000.
If they registered with HouseMinders, you pay upwards of $165 per annum depending on the zone. If we assume you pay $375 for two major zones in Victoria or NSW that is still a savings of $1,625. That only assumes 10 weeks rent!
| Weeks Rent | Rent P/W | Subtotal | HouseMinders Fee | Total Savings |
| 10 | $200 | $2,000 | $375 | $1,625 |
| 20 | $200 | $4,000 | $375 | $3,265 |

Just How Much Rent Can I Save?
How much do you spend on rent every week? When you multiply that number by 52 weeks, the amount you spend each year is frightening.
This is money you could be saving with HouseMinders:
