LANDLORD GUIDE
This APOA guide is general community education for landlords. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Please check current state rules and seek qualified advice for your own situation.
A typical move-in process includes advertising, screening, offer acceptance, lease signing, bond collection, bond lodgement, condition report, key handover, and tenant confirmation of the condition report.
The lease should clearly record rent, payment method, lease term, bond amount, and house rules.
A complete condition report is essential because it becomes important evidence at the end of the tenancy.
