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.

A slice of Curtin

Here is your chance to secure a gorgeous Cape Cod home located in the very sought after Curtin precinct. The current owners have lovingly cared for this wonderful home for over 50 years but, now reluctantly its time to downsize. You will notice immediately as you step into the home just how loved and cared for this home is. The original home has been renovated and extended over the years with complete attention to details.

You enter the home onto wood grain laminated floors that give way to terracotta tiles when you move through the home into the living areas. On the ground floor is a formal lounge and dining room at one end with views over a manicured garden. There is a federation style bathroom with an over bath shower. The kitchen, which includes a stainless steel oven, overlooks the meals area with views to the front garden. The family room is cosy with French doors which open out to the rear yard. Large windows give the home plenty of natural light to make it feel light and airy. Evaporative air-conditioning throughout will keep you cool during the warmer months.

Upstairs are three good sized bedrooms, two with built in robes and large windows with views to the front garden. A balcony upstairs off the landing provides wonderful views to the rear and beyond. This is a great spot to relax and enjoy a friends company.

The rear yard is an absolute feature of this home. In the yard is a Chinese Elm tree that provides a large canopy of shade in the summer months to keep you cool whilst entertaining friends and family. A couple of paved areas provide more than enough space for a BBQ and room to relax. A single carport and a circular drive way will provide plenty of space for all the cars a family needs. A workshop behind the carport is enough for any budding gardener. Completing this home are two 2200 litre water tanks with a pump that reduces the water bill and keeps the garden looking great.
