Renting With Dotcom

A smooth renting experience starts with clear information. At Dotcom Property Sales, we help tenants understand their rights, responsibilities, and what’s required when applying for a home in NSW.

 

What Tenants Need to Know in NSW

Renting laws in NSW are designed to protect both tenants and landlords. Here are the essentials every renter should understand:

  • Minimum Standards — Properties must meet basic safety, security, and habitability requirements before a tenancy begins.
  • Rent Increases — Rent can only be increased once every 12 months and requires 60 days’ written notice.
  • Repairs & Maintenance — Urgent repairs must be addressed promptly; non‑urgent repairs must be completed within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Bond Lodgement — All bonds must be lodged with the NSW Rental Bonds Online system.
  • Privacy & Entry Rights — Agents must provide proper notice before entering the property, except in emergencies.
  • Ending a Tenancy — Notice periods vary depending on the agreement type and reason for ending the tenancy.

 

What You Need to Provide When Applying

To help us process your application quickly and fairly, tenants should prepare the following:

  • Proof of Identity — Driver licence, passport, Medicare card, or other accepted ID.
  • Proof of Income — Recent payslips, employment letter, Centrelink statements, or bank statements.
  • Rental History — Previous agent or landlord details, rental ledger, or references.
  • Supporting Documents — Pet references, character references, or proof of savings (if needed).
  • Completed Application Form — Ensure all fields are filled out accurately to avoid delays.
