Rent/Lease

According to the 2001 Census, over 27.5% of Australians are renting their homes: that's over 1.95 million households. While for some, financial limits make renting the only option, many tenants rent out of choice.

The State and Territory Real Estate Institutes all provide information on renting and leasing, and provide links through their respective websites to a number of different sources of additional information such as Departments of Fair Trading, Rental Bond Boards and so on.
