Arrange an inspection time, some of our properties do have tenants living there so we may need to arrange a time that suits them first

Complete an application form and submit to our office with copies of your ID (Passport, Driver Licence, Medicare Card, Student ID, Bank Card), plus an option fee which is equivalent to one week's worth of rent. This option fee will be refunded to you should your application be declined. If you withdraw your application after we advise acceptance you will forfeit your option fee.

It may take up to 2 business days for your application to be processed, and then we contact the owner of the property for acceptance. Please keep in mind it can take up to 4 days for an answer on your application as many of our owners live overseas and can be difficult to contact.

We telephone to advise acceptance or declined application. If declined, we will arrange a refund of your option fee, if accepted, you will need to arrange a time to come in and complete a "lease sign". On this day we go through the legal details of the lease and you need to bring the remaining money to be paid in cash or bank cheque only.

The total amount you require to move in is equivalent to 7 weeks worth of rent so if you have already paid and option fee then only 6 weeks equivalent is due.

We can assist with a "Fast Connect Form" to connect your telephone, gas and power all on one document. We fax this through and take care of this at no additional cost to you.

We will give you all the information you require on preferred contractors, emergency contacts, maintenance request procedures, vacating information and more.

Take your keys and move into your new home.

Ensure you take the time to read the Property Condition Report (PCR) and return to our office within 7 days of your move in date. This document will be handed to you at your lease sign up appointment, or if not (as in the case of some brand new properties) we will post it to you.

Remember if you have any concerns or maintenance issues it is best to email them to us or send a fax though for urgent attention.
