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.

Style and substance in Garran

This contemporary five bedroom family home on a large, leafy Garran block blends classic brick charm with modern architectural design. An award winning Canberra architect oversaw extensive renovations that revitalised the home while preserving its 1960s character.

The upgrades introduced expanded living, dining and kitchen spaces, a European laundry, and an impressive new upper level dedicated to the primary suite. This suite includes a generous bedroom, a large walk in wardrobe, a stylish bathroom with walk in shower, a reading nook, and sweeping views to Mount Taylor and the Brindabellas.

Renovated areas feature polished Tasmanian Oak flooring, adding warmth and durability. The four original ground floor bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes, have been refreshed with new paint and carpet. Comfort is further enhanced by ducted gas heating, reverse cycle air conditioning on both levels, double glazed windows and doors in key areas, ceiling fans, and external awnings on the western side.

Thoughtful siting by the home’s first owner, a surveyor, maximises winter sunlight. A striking ceiling void now brings even more natural light into the new living spaces.
The kitchen includes a retro orange island bench, Miele appliances, and excellent pantry and storage options. Large sliding glass doors open to a long, private deck that flows down to a quiet patio.

The established gardens include mature trees, a vegetable patch, and a spacious, private backyard with room for play, entertaining, and pets. Two driveways provide ample parking, including space for a long boat or caravan. The garage features a new electronic roller door, and a large under house storeroom offers flexible use as a games room or pet enclosure.

The expansive 1,286 sq m block offers excellent potential for future enhancements, including extending the home or adding features such as a pool. Its RZ2 zoning also opens the door to development opportunities, including the possibility of subdividing the block.

The home sits within walking distance of – and in the Priority Enrolment Area for – Garran Primary School, one of the ACT’s highest performing public schools. Garran shops, the Ochre Medical Centre, and bus routes to Civic and Woden are also nearby, with Canberra Hospital just three minutes away.
