Tips for Leasing

Leasing a home can be daunting, and being well prepared makes all the difference.

1. Know Your Market Rent

Setting the right rental price is critical. Too high can limit enquiry. Too low can leave money on the table. Your agent will assess comparable properties, demand and current market conditions to position your home competitively.

2. Prepare the Property Before Advertising

First impressions matter to tenants just as much as buyers.

  • Complete minor repairs.
  • Ensure all lights, appliances and fixtures work.
  • Present the property clean, neutral and well maintained.

3. Choose the Right Lease Structure

Consider lease length, start date and any inclusions upfront.

4. Strong Marketing Attracts Better Tenants

Professional photography and clear advertising increase enquiry quality.

5. SCREEN TENANTS THOROUGHLY

Quality tenants protect your asset and your income. A thorough application review should include rental history, employment checks and references. Taking the time to secure the right tenant can reduce arrears, damage and vacancy down the track.

6. PRESENTATION CONTINUES DURING THE TENANCY

A well-managed property stays in better condition long term. Routine inspections, clear communication and prompt maintenance help ensure your investment is cared for while keeping tenants happy and cooperative.

7. PLAN FOR MAINTENANCE & COMPLIANCE

Being proactive avoids bigger costs later. Stay ahead of smoke alarm requirements, safety regulations and general upkeep. Preventative maintenance protects your return and keeps your property attractive to future tenants.
