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.

Large family home backing Isaacs Ridge

Here is a great opportunity for a large family or someone who wants to work from home to secure a fantastic home located in a tightly held cul-de-sac of Isaacs backing onto the pine plantation. This is the first time this property has been on offer for almost twenty years but the owners are moving and the place must be sold.

Spread over three separate levels this large home has all the space you need. On the ground level is a self contained unit with two bedrooms, kitchenette, living area and a bathroom. To the side is a single carport which also provides access to the rear yard. This unit has its own power and water meter, for those who want their independence without leaving home or for an office.

On the first level is the main house with high ceilings. This level contains a study/bedroom with access to the main bathroom. In the bathroom is a double shower. With a formal lounge fitting even the biggest families, this home will impress with its size. The home flows from the formal dining into the kitchen and through the meals area which adjoins a family room. The most used room on this level is without a doubt the rumpus room, with high ceilings and windows facing the Brindabella Ranges. To top it off is a bar to entertain any sized gathering. Even on those cool winter days this rumpus area is filled with warm winter sun.

The upper level contains four bedrooms with built in robes in three, with a walk in robe in the master bedroom. Each room has large windows which offer plenty of light and views to the Brindabella Ranges and pine plantation. The master bedroom also has a study nook which overlooks the entrance. Included in the upper level is an ensuite and a bathroom with a spa.

To complement this home is a double garage and an intercom system throughout the home. The main house has reverse cycle air conditioning and a vacuum system. Adjacent to the lower level is a large storage area. With gate access to the pine plantation, living here has plenty of benefits.

Mawson, Woden, Erindale and the Canberra hospital are all just a short distance away. Add to this you are close to some great schools with public transport and school buses just a short walk to the end of the street. An easily maintained garden, with mature fruit trees, the roses in season are wonderful and the bulbs in Spring add lots of colour to the home.
