IS YOUR PROPERTY A POTENTIAL HOLIDAY RENTAL? You’ve booked to go away on a long holiday and the thought crosses your mind: ““Why not rent out my property and use the rental to cover my mortgage/rent.” It might be a feasible approach, but rent-a-home.com.au – holiday rental and corporate accommodation specialists – recommend considering some important things well in advance: 1. Proper Authority Do you have the proper authority? If you rent the property, most likely you will need written express permission from your Landlord or Property Manager. If you co-own the property you may also need permission from the other owner. It’s imperative that you obtain property authority as you may breach listing terms and the booking may fall through, funds would be withheld and the landlord or owner may take action against you.

Managing a property involves significant responsibility. It’s not something you can ask as a favour from a friend. From tenant selection and emergency repairs to rent collection, these things are best handled by an expert. 4. Preparation There are several things that need to be prepared such as storage of personal effects, cleaning, preparation of instruction manuals, auto utility, bill payment, mail forwarding.
5. Lead Time Most customers book properties well in advance. So you’ll need to consider your lead time. For peak periods such as Christmas time you’ll find customers book from July onwards so listing during November will not achieve the best results. Listing at least 3 months prior to your departure is ideal.

We sold a record number of homes in 2013 and the trend looks to continue. More and more property buyers are discovering the joy of living in the Inner West, and who better to encourage them than Jas Stephens. We’ve been here since 1923 and have loved every minute of it. Seeing the ‘sold’ sticker on our boards never gets old – it only drives us further to spruik the benefits of the Inner West. Call us for a market appraisal. We’d love to show why you get more with Jas Stephens.
