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.

Design, Craftsmanship and Sustainability

A home unlike any other, 3 Brownbill St was designed and built by award winning Bespoke Building Services Director, Luke Dickerson, for his own family. A reflection of his extensive work with some of the most awarded architects in the field of sustainability, The Blue House is the embodiment of a thoughtful, future forward home. With the low utilities and living costs associated with a solar passive home, connection to the stunning adjacent landscape including views to the Brindabellas, the Arboretum and Black Mountain, this home has the advantage of a designer’s eye and builders touch throughout.

Built with love and finished with care, this beautiful and high performing home is one that must be seen to be believed. Utilising a unique subterranean water harvesting system, designed by horticulturist Tim Edmondson the home is surrounded by a green canopy creating a private oasis not typically seen in this area. The design, grounded in the principals of space, style and innovation, creates a playful, warm and yet sophisticated setting for every family occasion.

Be part of a vibrant street, where street parties happen and children play safely. Close enough to the primary school, a walking school bus is a trusted help in the mornings. With a new high school opening in 2024, an exciting playground just around the corner and the amazing Mt Stromlo MTB facility a short bike ride away this home is one of a kind.

An inspection is highly recommended!
