Common Questions Before Applying
Is the landlord looking for a 6-month or 12-month lease?
Most landlords will offer either a 6 or 12-month lease depending on their long-term plans and the property.
Your agent can guide you on what is most suitable at the time of application.

Are pets permitted?
Pets can be requested and are considered by the landlord (and strata, if applicable) in line with NSW legislation.
A formal application is required, and approval must be obtained before bringing a pet into the property.
For full details on pet approvals and your responsibilities, download our Tenant Guide.
How long does it take to receive an application outcome?
Most applications are processed within 24–72 hours, depending on the number of applications and the time required to complete reference checks.
Submitting a complete application helps avoid delays.

Is the rent negotiable?
In some cases, there may be flexibility depending on market conditions.
However, submitting a strong and complete application is usually more important than negotiating on price.

What improves my chances of securing a property?
A strong application makes the biggest difference. This includes providing all required documents, strong references, and clear proof of income.
Being responsive during the application process can also help.

Will repairs or cleaning be completed before move-in?
The property is provided in a clean and reasonably maintained condition, with major repairs completed prior to tenancy commencement.
You will also receive an Entry Condition Report to review and note any items within the first 7 days.
For full details on move-in and property condition, download our Tenant Guide.
What happens if I need to break the lease early?
Breaking a lease early may involve fees depending on how much time remains on your agreement, in line with NSW legislation.
It’s important to contact our team first so we can guide you through the correct process.
