As a tenant, you have the right to feel comfortable and safe in the home you are renting.

Both tenants and landlords or property owners have responsibilities and rights involving the tenancy. If you have any questions or concerns over entering into a tenancy, we advise to contact our real estate and property team, who have over 60 years combined experience.

Kelly Legal can help you through the steps in your tenancy journey, from signing the agreement through to ending a tenancy. 

Some things to consider as a tenant includes:

• Payment of rent and bond,
• Rent increases or decreases,
• Keeping the property clean, undamaged and in the same condition that you entered,
• Abiding by tenancy terms and conditions,
• Respecting neighbours,
• Tenancy periods, extensions or breaking of leases,
• Sub-letting and co-letting, and more.

There are also many other considerations you may have when renting a property. Feel free to get in contact with the friendly Kelly Legal team for a chat on 4911 0500.
