Fitzroy homes you can take for six weeks.
Furnished, bills included, and the agreement runs exactly as long as you need it to.
One week to 24 months is what EzyFlats rents in Fitzroy. Most stays land between one and twelve weeks, which is the part of the year hotels price badly and agents will not let you have.
What counts as a medium-term rental?
Australian renting is built around two extremes. Short-stay platforms are priced by the night and get punishing past about a month. Traditional agencies want twelve months, a rental history and a queue of applicants at a Saturday inspection. Neither fits someone who needs somewhere to live in Fitzroy for six weeks.
Medium-term is the space in between — typically one to twelve weeks, though it stretches from a single week to two full years. The home comes furnished with bills included, the agreement is written and signed digitally, and the term is whatever you actually need.

Medium-term agreements in Victoria
Victoria treats stays under 28 days as short-stay accommodation, outside the Residential Tenancies Act. Bookings below that threshold run with a deposit held by EzyFlats instead of a bond lodged with the RTBA; longer stays are documented to match.
Staying in Fitzroy
Fitzroy is Melbourne's oldest suburb and one of Australia's clearest examples of post-industrial inner-city gentrification. Sitting 2km north of the CBD, the suburb is built around three north–south streets — Brunswick, Smith and Gertrude — that between them concentrate Melbourne's most dense cluster of independent retail, cafés, restaurants and bars. Brunswick Street in particular has been the home of the city's bohemian and design scene for forty years, and the suburb retains a strong creative identity even as housing prices have priced out most of the original artists. Demographics are now heavily professional: design and architecture studios, advertising agencies, software engineers from nearby Carlton tech employers, post-graduate students at the University of Melbourne, and a long-running queer community concentrated around Smith Street. Housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces (often subdivided into apartments), warehouse conversions in the post-industrial pockets along Smith Street, and a small number of newer apartments around the Edinburgh Gardens. Walk Score is among Melbourne's highest. Trams 11, 86 and 96 run frequently along Brunswick, Smith and Nicholson Streets respectively, putting the CBD 15–20 minutes away. The 96 also runs to St Kilda Beach. Typical furnished tenants include designers, architects, software engineers and copywriters at the surrounding agencies, post-graduate humanities students at UoM, returning expats sampling Melbourne, and creative-industry contractors on 3–6 month projects. For renters comparing inner-north options, the close alternatives are Collingwood (more warehouse character, cheaper), Carlton (more student-academic) and North Fitzroy (quieter, more residential, slightly cheaper for terrace stock). Fitzroy is a particularly strong fit for relocators who want walkable urban density without the higher-rise CBD apartment style.

Medium-term rentals in Fitzroy — common questions
How long is a medium-term rental in Fitzroy?
Medium-term sits between a short stay and a standard residential lease — longer than a holiday booking, shorter than a twelve-month commitment. On EzyFlats in Fitzroy that means anything from one week to 24 months, and most stays run between one and twelve weeks.
How is it different from a short-term rental?
Short-stay platforms price by the night and get expensive past about a month, with cleaning and service fees stacked on top. A medium-term rental is priced weekly, includes bills, furniture and Wi-Fi, and comes with a written agreement rather than a booking confirmation.
Do I need to sign a 12-month lease?
No. That is the point of the category. You commit to the term you actually need in Fitzroy — a week, a season, or up to two years — with no rollover and no lock-in.
What is included?
Every home is fully furnished with bills and Wi-Fi included, so there is nothing to connect, buy or move in. Listings are pre-screened and every landlord is ID-verified.
How is my money protected?
Deposit held securely by EzyFlats until move-in. Rent is processed through Stripe, and the Move-In Guarantee refunds your first week's rent and service fee if the property does not match its listing.
