Melbourne lightning-proof apartment, I'll start with that. Are there any other rental pitfalls?

Although Bouverie Residence is close to Moorhouse University, some of the apartment's rules are indeed frustrating. They do not allow check-ins on Saturdays and Sundays, leaving the apartment empty and forcing residents to stay in a hotel. (Although it's only £200+ per week, who needs a bicycle?) Moreover, the shared rooms only have one bathroom, and they are segregated by gender!
