Rent out your condo with expectations clear from day one.

01 · Terms

Define the rental offer before it is advertised.

Approve one monthly rent and state what it includes. Record the requested deposit, advance rent, minimum lease term, payment date, utilities, internet, parking and any owner-paid services. Terms must comply with the applicable agreement and law, so have the final contract reviewed for your circumstances instead of copying a generic listing or another landlord's contract.

• Separate rent from utilities and service charges
• State the available date and minimum term
• Write down pet and occupancy conditions
• Use one approved set of terms in every channel

02 · Condition

Document the room tenants will receive.

Finish known safety and maintenance work, clean the room and test the appliances before photography. Create a dated inventory with model or serial details where useful, and identify existing marks rather than relying on memory at move-out. If marketing images show decoration or furnishings that will not remain, label that clearly.

• Test air-conditioning, water and major appliances
• Photograph every room and existing defect
• Attach a dated inventory to the handover record
• Remove valuables and personal information

03 · Tenant

Use a consistent, proportionate screening process.

Ask the same relevant questions about intended move-in date, lease term, number of occupants and ability to meet the stated rent. Handle identity and financial documents privately, collect only what is needed, and explain who receives them. Agree how applications are assessed before enquiries arrive so decisions are not improvised or discriminatory.

• Ask every applicant the same core questions
• Keep identity and financial records private
• Confirm building registration requirements
• Put accepted terms into the signed agreement
