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.

Significant Mawson residence with elevated position & development potential

A truly unique offering, this Mawson home blends traditional design with generous scale and flexibility. Loved by the same family for nearly 25 years, it has adapted easily through changing life stages and is now ready for its next chapter.

The lower level of the home is dedicated to living, with an open plan family room and dining area flowing into the renovated kitchen. A country-style finish, timber benchtops, plantation shutters and a breakfast bar that doubles as a study nook or work station make this a space to enjoy.

Downstairs includes the renovated bathroom, featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles, frameless shower screen and separate toilet. Accommodation downstairs consists of a primary bedroom plus an additional study room.

The wooden staircase takes you upstairs where you will find a sunny landing framed by large north-facing windows. The landing leads to six adaptable bedrooms, with the first functioning beautifully as a second living area thanks to large double doors. The additional five bedrooms located off the long hallway are served by a separate bathroom and shower room.

Set on a sizable 750m² block, the current residence is well situated to the front of the landholding. The rear outdoor entertaining area connects to the large enclosed garage and carport, complete with three-phase power-ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists or trades. Colourbond fencing and multiple off-street parking options add to the home’s practicality. Dedicated garden beds and a generous grassed area sit to the left of the garage, while the front of the home features established gardens and trees.

A feasibility study (available on request) has already been completed and explores options for multi-dwelling redevelopment-including two courtyard-style townhouses and a double-storey three-bedroom residence at the rear (subject to approval).

Ideally located on an elevated street, it’s a short walk down to Southlands Shopping Centre, with Italian Continental Café, The Mawson Butcher, Under Bakery, Tuttos Deli and Woolworths only moments away. Local schools, the park-and-ride, rapid bus routes and Westfield Woden are all within easy reach, while the elevated position offers sweeping views and connection to nearby Mount Taylor.
