A Tenancy Application is a tool to help process applicants to determine their level of risk. As the managing agent, it is our responsibility to secure tenancies that have the lowest risk of rent default and/or damage to the premises.

To increase your changes to be eligible for a rental property, ensure that you have:

  • completed a Tenancy Application and provided the required documentation
  • an excellent rental history
  • your affordability is higher than the rent amount.

Please Note: The Lessor/Agent is not required to provide a reason for refusing a tenancy application.

If you are not able to physically attend the property or make alternative arrangements for the property to be inspected by a friend or via FaceTime, you are required to complete a Sight Unseen Form with your application.

This notice is required if a Tenant believe the Lessor is failing to meet their lawful obligations in accordance with the Signed Tenancy Agreement or the RTRA Act. The form can only be accepted if completed correctly. Lawful timeframes are required.

Tenants are required to provide a minimum of 2 weeks notice of intention to vacate the property.

This notice is required if a tenant wishes to vacate at the end of their agreement, during their fixed term tenancy or any time during a periodical tenancy. A forwarding address is also required.

The Exit Condition Report is compared to the Entry Condition Report to determine if the property is in the same condition as when the tenant moved in, apart from fair wear and tear.

In accordance with section 66 of the RTRA Act, the tenant must complete and sign the Exit Condition Report for the premises and any inclusions and provide a copy to the Lessor/Lessor’s Agent.

The Lessor or Agent must return a signed copy of the report within 3 business days.

Often disputes arise when someone does not meet the terms of the tenancy agreement so it is a good idea for everyone to understand their rights and responsibilities.

There is a process to resolving tenancy disputes that starts with self-resolution. Good communication is the key to resolving most tenancy problems.

If you cannot reach agreement through self-resolution, an RTA conciliator may be able to help you negotiate an agreement with the other person.

The RTA’s dispute resolution service is free and  impartial. They help you, and the other person, make informed decisions and reach an outcome that is acceptable to you both.

Conciliators do not determine who is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ and they cannot make decisions about disputes or enforce rules or regulations. The process is voluntary and people cannot be compelled to take part in the process

A tenant completes the Notice ending tenancy interest (domestic and family violence) when they believe they can no longer safely occupy the premises due to domestic and family violence and wish to end their interest in their current tenancy and vacate the premises.

The Domestic and Family Violence Report, which must be completed and signed by an authorised professional, can be provided as a type of relevant evidence to support that a tenant/resident is/has been experiencing domestic and family violence.  

Tenants must use this form to request approval from the property owner to keep a pet or animal in their rental property.

Tenants should complete a separate form for each pet. Property owner’s approval is not required to keep a working dog at the property.
