How often can you increase the rent?

Rent cannot be increased at intervals of less than 12 months. Landlords must give tenants at least eight weeks’ written notice of a rent increase. In a fixed-term lease, the increase date must be outside the term dates.

How will you find the perfect tenant/s for my property?

Our leasing consultant will meet all potential tenants when conducting open homes for the property. Our leasing team will then closely assess whether the property will be a right fit for those who have applied for the property. Once the applications have been processed and the references have been called for each, we take all applications to the owner, who will decide which applicant to approve of living at the property.

How many routines can be conducted yearly?

A landlord is allowed to inspect a property twice every 12 months. The landlord can also conduct an inspection within the first month of the tenancy and within the last month.

What maintenance is the tenant responsible for, and what is the landlord responsible for?

If there is a noticeable impact or damage that has occurred during a tenancy, it usually falls under the tenant. General upkeep, such as a globe, also falls under the tenant. If the damage falls under general wear and tears due to ageing, this will fall under an owner to repair. However, maintenance can always be a grey area, so it is best to ask your property manager first.

How much notice must a tenant provide if they are on a periodic tenancy?

A periodic lease is a month to month. In the ACT, tenants are only required to give 21 days’ notice in writing.

What is the process if my tenant requests to keep a pet at the property?

If the tenant requests to keep a pet at the property, they must write to the lessor to ask for consent. If the lessor refuses to consent, they will be required to apply to the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal for approval.

Hodgkinson location to secure your future

This has been a much loved family home for over 40 years presently offering an original monocrete cottage with real old world charm with three bedrooms, separate bathroom, toilet and laundry. The renovated kitchen/family room is a more modern space and compliments the formal lounge with gas wall heater.

This property presents opportunity around location and the large block itself. At 977m2 and east/west orientation in a conventional rectangle there is ample space to build your dream home with the living areas catching the northern sun. There are many examples of like-minded redevelopment in the street so over-capitalising will not be an issue. Hodgkinson Street is a gem, as its quiet and off the traffic flow, yet still central to all the inner south has to offer.

Car accommodation is a double metal garage. Options to live in, rent out or redevelop make this a shrewd investment. Zoned RZ1 and close to Red Hill primary school, St Edmunds College, St Clares and Canberra Grammar School, public transport, Red Hill & Griffith village shops, the cafes and restaurants of Manuka & Kingston. Only minutes away to the Parliamentary triangle, and the City. This is the perfect location to secure your future.
