Do I sign a lease agreement? What is the minimise lease term?

← Back to All Houses

We are licensed property manger in SA.  All share housesunder our management are managed professionally, just like other private rentals in the rental market. Each tenant has a legal lease agreement with the landlord for their rooms; the main difference between Iris and otherreal estate agents is that the tenant is leasing a fully furnished room with a lease agreement attached instead of renting the entire house.

Yes, there will be a lease agreement between tenant and Iris Property Management in line with SA Residential Tenancies Act 1995 (Rooming houses) which covers matters such as rights and obligations of the landlords and tenants, houses rules, bond and rent payments.

We require a minimum of 6-month lease term. Should a tenant breaks lease, break costs such asre-letting fee, advertising fee and payment of loss of rent may apply.
