The Melbourne rental market is competitive, and both landlords and tenants need to be well-informed to succeed. This blog provides essential tips for navigating the current rental landscape.

For Landlords

Setting Competitive Rents: Research comparable properties in your area to set a competitive rent that attracts quality tenants while maximising your return.
Attracting Quality Tenants: Ensure your property is well-maintained and presentable. High-quality photos and detailed listings can make a significant difference.
Maintaining Positive Tenant Relationships: Regular communication and prompt attention to maintenance requests help foster a good landlord-tenant relationship, leading to longer tenancies and fewer vacancies.
