Best Practices for Student Landlords

  • Keep listings up to date — remove properties that are no longer available
  • Respond to student enquiries within 24 hours to improve your response rate badge
  • Provide high-quality photos — listings with 5+ photos get 3× more enquiries
  • Include all-inclusive pricing or clearly list what's included (utilities, WiFi, etc.)
  • Highlight proximity to universities and public transport stops
  • Get verified — our verification badge increases booking rates by 40%

Legal Obligations

As a landlord in Australia, you must comply with your state's Residential Tenancies Act. Key obligations include:

  • Providing a written lease / tenancy agreement
  • Lodging the bond with the relevant state authority (e.g., RTBA in Victoria)
  • Maintaining the property in a reasonably clean and in good repair
  • Giving proper notice before entering the property
  • Meeting minimum rental standards for the property
