Before signing any agreement/lease prior to renting a property, you should read all the terms and conditions of the lease carefully and ask questions if you do not understand. This lease is binding and effectively a contract between two parties. Do your research to see that the price of the property is competitive with others that are similar in accommodation and style. Two to three weeks is usually all you need to find and secure a new rental accommodation. For further advice please contact the Department Of Fair Trading on 13 32 20.

Although landlords may have contents insurance on their property, this covers them for carpet, paint, light fittings etc, it does not cover you for your personal belongings. We recommend that you obtain your own contents insurance so that your belongings are insured.
