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.

Heads above the rest

Well-maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years using quality fittings & inclusions, this spacious, character-filled home is nestled within established & private garden surrounds in a geographically ideal location.

Accommodation includes 3 generous bedrooms all with BIRs that are supported by an updated bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling. Additionally, the master bedroom has an ensuite and an extra robe for luggage and coats, and the second bedroom benefits from a built in bookshelf.

The thoughtfully designed and custom-built kitchen will continue to serve you well as it does the rest of the home anchoring the spaces together and operating as a central hub from which to enjoy the company of guests at the breakfast bar or supervise children in the adjoining family/meals area.

The L-shaped lounge/dining with its high, vaulted ceilings and exposed decorative brick feature wall bring a strong sense of identity to the home and provides a feeling of spaciousness. These rooms connect seamlessly to the veranda on one side, and through to the rumpus room and covered entertaining deck on the other. The rumpus room with study nook has served very well in the past as a fourth bedroom and guestroom.

Underneath the house, a built-in workbench adds a versatility and practicality to the insulated (and secure) storage space (previously used as a wine cellar) alongside the large double garage. The north facing rear yard with enclosed brick entertaining (or games) room, vegetable patch, childrens sand pit and additional parking for caravan or trailer round out this impressive package.

There is a bus stop just metres from the front door, and the home is roughly equal distance between the local Rivett and Chapman shops, and just moments to Chapman Primary school, the walking & riding trails of Cooleman Ridge and Stromlo Forest Park.

The heart of Weston Creek, Rivett is located just a few minutes by car to the Woden, Tuggeranong, Belconnen and City centres. This superb location, coupled with the abundance of natural-light, living and utility space, a floorplan that will suit a variety of living arrangements and an array of quality additional extras defines this property as both a unique offering and a true stand out in the Rivett market place.
