Rental property photography for Australian landlords

National guidance. Victoria first.

Victoria is our first operational jurisdiction for supported whole-property workflows. The workspace remains in preview and public accounts are closed during launch preparation. We are building workflows for other states, territories and accommodation types; nationwide guide coverage does not mean those workflows are available.

What rental property photography involves

Rental photographs should represent the current offer clearly while protecting occupants, documents and other personal information.

Finish material repairs and presentation first.
Obtain required access and image-use consent.
Create a shot list covering the full offer.

Prepare before taking action

Set the decision criteria, responsibilities and jurisdiction checks before the time-sensitive work begins.

Finish material repairs and presentation first.

Use a repeatable process

Follow the same documented sequence each time, while adapting forms, notices and timeframes to the property jurisdiction.

Use natural perspective and consistent light.
Show rooms in a logical sequence.
Review every frame for private or misleading details.

Keep evidence and communication connected

Good records support clear decisions, reliable handovers and fair resolution when memories differ.

Original dated files
Consent and access records where required
Accurate alternative text and captions

Common mistakes to avoid

Pause when the facts, authority or next legal step are unclear. A fast but unsupported decision usually creates more work later.

Stretching rooms or replacing views
Publishing faces, documents or number plates
Using old images after a material property change
