What should I check before signing a lease agreement in Adelaide?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Before signing a lease agreement in Adelaide, check the rent, payment arrangements, lease term, bond, maintenance responsibilities and any special conditions. Make sure the property condition report records existing damage and keep a copy, along with the signed agreement and receipts for payments. South Australian residential tenancy rules cover matters such as rent increases, repairs, inspections and ending the tenancy, so read the agreement carefully before committing. For current requirements or help with a dispute, check Consumer and Business Services South Australia or seek advice from a qualified tenancy professional.
