Renting Guide
Lease Your Property Faster & Attract Quality Tenants
At Home & Key RE, our proven process ensures your property is leased promptly, to the right tenants, and at the best possible rent. Here’s how we make it happen:

Step 1: Accurate Rental Appraisal
Getting the rent right is key to minimising vacancy. Our experienced property managers know the local market inside-out and will provide a detailed appraisal based on recent comparable rentals, current demand, and property condition. This ensures you set a competitive and realistic price from the start.
Step 2: Choose the Right Property Manager
The right manager makes all the difference. When selecting a property manager, look for local knowledge, industry experience, and a dedicated focus on property management. At Home & Key RE, our team specialises in leasing and managing investment properties—we know how to protect your asset and maximise your return.

Step 3: Presenting Your Property
First impressions matter. We’ll work with you to ensure your property is presented at its best. Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, decluttering, or some light yard work, small improvements can make a big difference. If you’re not local or can’t access the property, we’ll handle everything and provide recommendations based on market expectations.
Step 4: Strategic Marketing to Attract the Right Tenants
We use premium listings, online booking systems, and digital alerts to attract high-quality tenants fast.
Your property is marketed across top websites and our tenant database.
This ensures maximum exposure and enquiry in minimal time.

Step 5: Private Viewings & Open Homes
Our leasing team manages all inspections personally—we never hand out keys. Using our streamlined booking system and weekly open-home schedule, we ensure every interested tenant views your property in a secure, professional, and fully guided setting.
Step 6: Application Checks
Every tenant application is carefully reviewed with full ID, income verification, rental history, and reference checks. We also conduct tenancy database searches when needed. After our thorough assessment, we’ll provide you with a clear recommendation based on the tenant’s suitability.

Step 7: Lease & Move-In
Once you’ve approved a tenant, we take care of the lease signing, bond collection, and first rent payment. The handover process is smooth, legally compliant, and designed to give both you and the tenant confidence from day one.
Step 8: Entry Report & Inspections
Before move-in, we prepare a comprehensive entry condition report with high-resolution photos. Follow-up inspections are conducted after 3 months, then every 6 months, with full digital reports provided to keep you informed about your property’s condition.
