What private rental changes
Communication and decisions remain direct. The owner selects the advertising, application, record and maintenance processes and controls when specialist help is engaged.
What private rental does not change
The property must still be suitable and lawful, applicants must be treated fairly, personal information must be protected, the correct agreement and bond process must be used, and repairs, access and notices must follow the jurisdiction rules.
