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.

Stunning garden sanctuary in old Griffith

Circa 1932, heritage charm meets contemporary architecture. Siding parkland this unique early Canberra home is tucked away in a private tightly held part of Old Griffith on a 1,090 m2 block. The classic bones of this house are balanced with exciting elements, creating the perfect example of modern design living combined with old world charm. Elegant proportions, authentic period features, the home has been thoughtfully renovated and extended in recent years. No expense was spared with the architectural extensions and renovations. The accommodation consists of three generous sized bedrooms (master with ensuite and walk in robes), plus study and separate lounge room with open fire. The impressive gallery space links the heritage house to the modern extension. The magnificent family room and kitchen overlooks parkland and opens to an inground pool and outdoor entertaining area which can be enjoyed all year round. Then comes the real bonus: the original garage has been converted into a separate studio / rumpus with loft, ideal for working from home or separate teenager area. Blue-chip location, just moments from Manuka Village, transport and private schools, this is undeniably a unique offering.
