Tenancy Information

Welcome to Domain Illawarra Real Estate. Whether you're considering renting one of our properties or you're already one of our valued tenants, this guide will help you understand the essentials of renting in New South Wales.

Understanding Your Lease

Before you sign a Residential Tenancy Agreement (lease), it's crucial to understand its contents. Here's what your lease should include:

• Property location
• Total rent amount
• Bond amount
• Tenancy start and end dates
• Landlord's name

Remember: Never sign a blank form. If something isn't clear, don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

Your Responsibilities as a Tenant

• Keep the property clean
• Avoid causing damage to the premises
• Inform the landlord immediately if any damage occurs
• Seek landlord permission for installations or alterations
• Respect your neighbours and avoid causing nuisances
• Use the property only for legal purposes

Landlord Responsibilities

• Keep the premises in good repair
• Ensure property security (functional locks on doors and windows)
• Provide you with new keys immediately after changing any locks
• Respect your privacy and avoid unnecessary disturbances

The Condition Report

After signing your lease and paying the bond, you'll receive a Condition Report. This document records the property's current state.

Pro Tip:Take detailed photos of the property when you move in. These can be invaluable if there are any disputes about the property's condition at the end of your tenancy.
