The Residential Tenancy Agreement

The Agreement

We prepare a Residential Tenancy Agreement covering all the details, terms and conditions of the agreement, which your tenant agrees to sign. You will receive a fully executed copy of the Tenancy Agreement for your records.

A detailed report outlining the condition of the property (including a description of each item and the property’s level of cleanliness) is provided to the tenant. The tenant is invited to confirm the accuracy of the report. This report then becomes the measure upon which the bond will be refunded at the end of the tenancy.

Can I add a clause?

Landlords/property managers cannot just add any conditions to the tenancy agreement. All conditions added must comply with the Tenancies Act (1986.)

Generally, a landlord can only add a condition to the tenancy agreement if it relates to specifics of the property.

Examples of such conditions are:

• Excluding elements of the property (eg: fireplaces, rooms, sheds.)

• Garden responsibility (if a gardener is provided.)
