Newtown 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 Newtown. 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 Newtown 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 New South Wales
In New South Wales, a stay under 21 days sits outside the Residential Tenancies Act, so shorter medium-term bookings run as a short-stay agreement with the deposit held by EzyFlats rather than lodged with NSW Fair Trading. Longer stays are documented accordingly.
Staying in Newtown
Newtown is the spine of Sydney's Inner West, anchored by King Street — a 2km strip of Thai, Vietnamese, Lebanese and Turkish restaurants, second-hand bookshops, music venues and Victorian-era pubs that has been the city's bohemian centre for forty years. The suburb is bounded by Sydney University to the east and the Inner West light rail to the west, and is one of Sydney's most strongly LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods, with a long history as a queer cultural centre. Demographics include large student populations from the University of Sydney and UTS, working creatives and academics, healthcare professionals at nearby Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and a rapidly growing tech and freelance workforce. Housing stock is dominated by Victorian terrace houses (often converted into share-houses or 2–3 bedroom rentals), warehouse conversions on the Camperdown side, and 1970s walk-up apartments south of the station. Walk Score is very high — King Street has everything from late-night ramen to gym memberships. Newtown Station sits on the T2/T3 line and reaches Town Hall in 8 minutes. The suburb's character mixes academic seriousness with a long-running indie music scene (Enmore Theatre, Vanguard, Marlborough Hotel are all within 10 minutes' walk) and one of Sydney's busiest after-hours food strips. Furnished rentals here typically suit international students at USyd or UTS, post-doctoral researchers and visiting academics, hospital and locum medical staff at RPA, and design or media professionals working from home or commuting to the inner CBD. Comparable Inner West alternatives include Erskineville (quieter, more terraces), Marrickville (cheaper, more multicultural) and Camperdown (closer to USyd's main campus).

Medium-term rentals in Newtown — common questions
How long is a medium-term rental in Newtown?
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 Newtown 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 Newtown — 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.
