Investing and Renting Locally

A rental property needs to work for the people who live in it and for the owner responsible for it. Good decisions begin with realistic rent expectations, careful due diligence and a clear plan for compliance and maintenance.

For property investors

• Obtain a current rental appraisal based on the property and comparable demand.
• Budget for rates, insurance, maintenance, compliance and periods without rent.
• Check Healthy Homes Standards and other legal obligations.
• Consider layout, heating, ventilation, access, parking and long-term upkeep.
• Use independent legal, tax, building and financial advice.

For tenants

Review the listing carefully, ask questions and provide complete, accurate application information through the approved process. Understand the tenancy agreement, bond, rent, inspection process and how to report repairs.
