GOT Questions?

As a home Rental Provider, there are many things that require your consideration. Our expert Property Managers will answer each question you have in detail, at your rental appraisal. Until then, view our most frequently asked questions by Rental Providers.

Can I end a lease agreement before its official end?

There are a number of exceptional reasons a rental provider can legally terminate a lease prior to the fixed term end date. These reasons are listed on the Consumer Affairs Victoria website. 

Melcorp Real Estate can help you issue the correct Notice to Vacate and navigate VCAT process when lodging formal disputes.

Can I increase the rent during the lease period?

A rental provider cannot increase rent during a fixed term lease agreement, unless the rental agreement states otherwise. Outside of a fixed term lease agreement, a rental provider can increase the rent no more than once every 12 months and must provide 60 days notice to a renter of the rent increase. Melcorp Real Estate will review market rent prices and ensure that the rental provider achieves optimum rent.

How do I make my property more appealing to renters?

There are a number of options for rental providers to assist in making a property appealing to renters. These can include the following: 

• Establishing a competitive rent
• Ensuring your property is presented in a neat, presentable condition
• Getting your property professionally photographed 
• Adding virtual furniture to property photos, if your property is empty
• Professional property styling 

Melcorp Real Estate can provide free rental appraisals and professional, tailored advice on improving your property’s rental appeal. 

How long is a typical lease?

The lease term is flexible and dependent on the agreement of the rental provider and the renter. Lease agreements are most commonly 12 months in Victoria. A Melcorp Real Estate agent will be able to determine what length lease agreement suits your property best with you. Our agents will also ensure properties lease agreements finish in peak lease periods. This can assist rental providers in having as short a vacancy period as possible.

How much rent can I expect to receive for my property?

A Melcorp Real Estate agent will walk you through the rental process and give you an accurate guide about how much rent you can expect to achieve for your property. Find out more about our services for rental providers here.

• The type of property (house, apartment, unit, townhouse etc.)
• The price of other rentals in the same area
• The property features and (if applicable) building facilities
• Your property’s location desirability. i.e. if it is close to transport, shopping, lifestyle amenities etc.
• Is it a rental provider’s or renter’s market? i.e. how large is the pool of renters vs. the number of rental properties available in the area?
