Read the tenancy agreement carefully and check the names of all renters, rent amount, payment dates, lease term, bond, utilities and any special conditions. Make sure you understand rules about repairs, ending the agreement, pets, visitors and rent increases, as these can vary between Australian states and territories. Complete the entry condition report, take dated photos and return it by the required deadline, keeping a copy for your records. For state-specific guidance, check your local fair trading or consumer affairs authority before signing.
