You found a tenant, now what? Organising the necessary tenancy paperwork

28 February 2024

Congratulations on finding your new tenant!

Here’s a straightforward guide to help you through the process:

Complete the Tenancy Paperwork:

This is the foundation of a successful tenancy. You’ll need to prepare and sign the tenancy agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of the tenancy, including rent, duration, and other important details.

Here is our simple guide to starting new tenancy

Bond Lodgement Form:

Alongside the tenancy agreement, you should complete a bond lodgement form. This document is essential for legally securing the bond and should be submitted to the relevant authority in your area.

How to create Bond Lodgement form on myRent

Initial Inspection Report:

Conducting an initial inspection of the property and documenting its condition ensures that both you and the tenant have a clear record. This can help manage expectations and responsibilities, and it’s vital for addressing any future disputes over property condition.

Collect Payments:

Before the tenancy begins, collect the first rent payment and the rental bond. The bond is typically equivalent to a few weeks' rent (the exact amount can vary by location) and serves as security against damages or unpaid rent.
