Before deciding to rent a property there are a few rules and regulations that you need to take into consideration.
A Residential Tenancy Agreement or 'lease' will be drawn up and is the legal contract that both you and your landlord must abide by.
A lease should include information such as:
- Location of the property
- Total rent amount
- Total bond amount
- Commencement and end date of your tenancy
- The landlords' name
Never sign a blank form, and if you do not understand something, contact the correct establishments to ask for advice.
