For renters · Finding a place
How applying for one of my rentals actually works.
Renting shouldn't be a black box. Plenty of renters across the inner west have been ghosted, kept guessing, or treated like a number — that's not how I work. Here's exactly how it goes with me, with no mystery.
Tell me what you're after
The area you want to be in — Auburn, Lidcombe, Chester Hill — your budget, and the things that genuinely matter: pets, parking, how close to the station. The more I know, the fewer wasted Saturdays you'll have.
See the right places
I'll point you at homes worth your time rather than padding your weekend with ones that won't suit, and I make inspections easy to get to. Come through, ask everything, and picture yourself actually living there.
A straightforward application
You'll need ID, income details and a couple of references — that's most of it. I read every application properly rather than just filtering on a number, so a genuine renter with a slightly thinner file still gets a fair go.
A real answer, quickly
I won't leave you refreshing your inbox. Usually within a day or two of a complete application I'll have a proper answer for you either way — and if something's holding it up, I'll tell you what.
“Look after good tenants and they stay — so I'll treat you like a person, answer when you call, and sort the things that need sorting.”

Before you sign
What to sort before you move in.
A good tenancy starts before the keys do. Four straightforward things worth getting right so the rest of it stays easy.
Read the inspection report properly
Before you move in you'll get an in-going condition report — go through it room by room, photograph anything that's already marked or damaged, and note it. It's what protects your bond at the end, so it's worth the half hour now.
Know where your bond actually sits
Your bond is lodged with NSW Fair Trading's Rental Bonds — not held by the agency, so it's protected. At the end of the tenancy it's returned based on the condition report and the state of the property; fair wear and tear is expected and accounted for.
Know how to report a repair
Something needs fixing? Just let me know — by phone, text or email — and I'll log it and get it actioned. Urgent repairs are handled straight away under the tenancy rules; everything else is sorted promptly with the owner's approval, and I keep you posted.
Ask before you assume — pets and the rest
Whether a pet is on the cards depends on the property and the owner, so ask before you apply rather than guess. Being upfront only helps — where it's a possibility, I'll always put a genuine case to the owner for you.
My patch
The streets I know best.
I manage rentals across Sydney's inner west. A few suburbs are home; the rest I know well enough to price the rent in my sleep.
The brass coins count recent leasings by suburb.

Renting in the inner west, answered
The questions people actually ask — answered the way I'd answer them on the phone.
How do I apply for one of your rentals?
Come through an inspection or get in touch, and I'll point you to the application — you'll need ID, income details and a couple of references. I read every application properly rather than just filtering on a number, and I'll always give you a real answer either way.
How long does it take to hear back?
As quickly as I can give the owner a proper recommendation — usually within a day or two of a complete application. I won't leave you refreshing your inbox; if something's holding it up, I'll tell you.
What happens to my bond?
Your bond is lodged with NSW Fair Trading's Rental Bonds, not held by the agency, so it's protected. At the end of the tenancy it's returned based on the condition report and the state of the property — fair wear and tear is expected and accounted for.
How do I report something that needs fixing?
Just let me know — by phone, text or email — and I'll log it and get it actioned. Urgent repairs are handled straight away under the tenancy rules; everything else is sorted promptly with the owner's approval, and I'll keep you posted.
Can I have a pet?
It depends on the property and the owner, so ask before you apply rather than assume. Where pets are considered, being upfront and including details in your application only helps — I'll always put a genuine case to the owner for you.
Do you speak my language?
Happy to talk in English, Dari or Farsi. Plenty of the people I help rent in the inner west would rather sort the important details in the language they actually think in, and that's completely fine by me.
