Important Tips for Prospective Tenants:

• In order to apply for a rental property through our office, the property needs to be inspected by either yourself or someone on your behalf.
• Our office operates on a direct debit payment system ONLY. If you do not wish to pay via direct debit please do not apply for a property through our office.
• Each applicant must provide 100 points of ID, please contact our office prior to submitting your application if you have issues doing so.
• All applications for tenancy are referred to TICA & TRA for a tenancy database check.
• Every adult intending to reside in the property must fully complete and sign an individual tenancy agreement.
• The availability and adequacy of telephone lines; internet services; analogue, digital or cable television are the sole responsibility of the tenant(s) and as such, tenants should make their own enquiry as to the availability and adequacy of such services before accepting the tenancy of the property.

If approved for a property, you will then have 24 hours to secure it by paying a holding deposit to our office.

Upon signing a lease, our office requires the following:

• 2 weeks rent in advance (your holding fee is used as your first week of rent)
• 4 weeks bond (can be lodged via rental bonds online) https://rbo.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/tenant/login
