Whether you’re renting for the first time or have rented before, understanding your rights and responsibilities can make the experience smoother and stress-free.
1. Be Application Ready
Have all required documents prepared, including photo ID, proof of income, and rental references. A complete application improves your chances of success.
2. Make a Great First Impression
Arrive on time to inspections, present yourself well, and ask relevant questions. Property managers notice engaged and respectful applicants.
3. Understand Your Lease
Take time to read your lease agreement carefully. Know the length of the tenancy, rent amount, and your responsibilities as a tenant.
4. Complete the Entry Condition Report
Document the property’s condition when you move in. This protects you at the end of your lease and helps avoid bond disputes.
5. Maintain a Positive Rental History
Pay rent on time, look after the property, and communicate openly with your property manager. A strong rental history makes future applications easier.
