At Coloc Housing, we use 9-year rental contracts, giving tenants the peace of mind of a secure rental agreement while still allowing flexibility if life circumstances change.
The minimum commitment is 6 months, but most houses prefer tenants who plan to join for 12 months or longer. Longer commitments help create a more stable group dynamic and a stronger sense of community.
Since housemates vote on new applicants, they often prioritize candidates who can commit to a longer period over those looking for something short-term.
