- Create your rental listing – Provide clear and accurate information about the property.
- Advertise the property – Put your rental listing in front of prospective tenants.

- Choose your tenant – Make your decision using a fair and consistent process.
Advertise Your Rental Property Online
If you want to rent out your house or home yourself, getting your property in front of prospective tenants is an important first step.
A strong rental listing should give people a clear understanding of the property before they make an enquiry. Include accurate property information, suitable photographs, rental details and the key features prospective tenants need to know.
Find and Screen Prospective Tenants
Once your rental property is advertised, prospective tenants can contact you with questions or enquiries.
You can communicate directly with interested renters, provide additional property information and gather the details needed to assess applications.
A consistent process can make it easier to compare prospective tenants and keep track of enquiries as you move through the rental process.
Arrange Inspections and Applications
Property inspections allow prospective tenants to view the home and ask questions before deciding whether to apply.
You can arrange suitable inspection times, communicate directly with prospective tenants and manage applications as they come through.
Keeping inspection details and applications organised can help you move efficiently from initial enquiries to tenant selection.

Choose Your Tenant
After reviewing enquiries, inspections and applications, you can decide which prospective tenant is suitable for your property.
Managing the process yourself means you remain directly involved in the tenant selection process rather than handing this responsibility to a traditional property manager.
Use a clear and consistent approach when reviewing applications and make sure your rental process follows the applicable requirements.
Rent Your Property Without Ongoing Management Fees
If you want to rent your property yourself, you may prefer to stay directly involved rather than use ongoing traditional property management.

This approach gives landlords more direct involvement in the rental process and lets them choose how much support they need.
Compare rental advertising before choosing a package
Start with the property you want to advertise and the help you need. Compare the listed property portals, advertising period, enquiry handling and included services for each rental package. Optional extras and package conditions should be checked before purchase.
