What I found on two real estate agents contracts was a clause that essentially said, what you are signing is legally binding and if you are accepted and then not prepared to go through with the agreement that the agency may charge you with costs to re-let/advertise...next page they had a comment...

Coastal/western suburbs. Found a place, $5 off asking price, nice little place, paid bond today. Privately rented instead of through an agent. Love it, hate dealing with agents. Would have been interesting to get some real lowballs in before I got this place just to see what the response...

IMO it's pretty nuts to be holding an asset that costs you money to hold considering the current global conditions (and low chance of short term CG), but each to their own. You are making a big assumption saying that the LL is in a cash loss position. I know the particular place I'm looking at...

There is a couple on the radar, I certainly do not have my heart set on a particular place, I just need somewhere that is under x amount to rent, is less than x distance from the amenities we want and will be large enough for our belongings. It's a rental, not a property I'm looking to buy and...

Thanks for the feedback so far! Interesting that you would consider it a stunt. It's simply an offer, which seems to be quite common in the sale side of property, so curious as to how common it is on the rental side. We will be offering to provide documents showing mortgage payments (on time...

My partner and I will soon be back renting after the sale of our property. We've found a unit we would like to rent. The asking rent is $250pw. I am considering making an offer of $230pw with rent paid 3 months in advance. The rent has already been dropped by $10 (advertised price was...
