We've decided to rent for a while to save a few pennies. We went in to the agents to sign the lease agreement and were told that we had to pay 4 weeks bond plus 4 weeks rent in advance. When we questioned the 4 weeks rent in advance, we were told "that's the rule when the rent is more than $300 a week".
Is this the rule? We have a few properties renting higher than $300 per week and none of the tenants had to pay 4 weeks in advance when they moved in. Just wondering if the agent can enforce this or if it's just something they do in that office.
