     Landlord Information Statement                             All landlords are now required to acknowledge that they’ve read and understood
                                                                the contents of the Landlord Information Statement (an approved form published

     Landlord’s contact details                                 The landlord’s contact details must be provided on the residential tenancy

     Condition report                                           One electronic copy of the completed condition report can now be given

     Break fee                                                  A break fee, calculated on a prescribed cascading scale, is now a mandatory

     Material facts                                             Drug activity, strata repairs and external combustible cladding have been added

     Fit for habitation                                         All residential rental premises are required to meet new prescribed minimum
                                                                standards to ensure they are fit for habitation.

     Minor changes                                              Tenants are able to make certain prescribed minor changes to the premises
                                                                and the landlord is not able to unreasonably withhold consent.

     Rent increases                                             Landlords can now only increase the rent once in any 12-month period

     Smoke alarms                                               Landlords have a range of new obligations when it comes to the installation,

     Water usage charges                                        Water usage charges are only payable by the tenant where the premises
                                                                is separately metered and certain water efficiency measures are in place.

     Publication of photos and videos                           Photos and videos of the interior of a premises showing the tenant’s possessions
                                                                cannot be published for marketing purposes without the tenant’s consent.

           Back in 2005, Let’s Rent Founder and Managing Director Lisa Indge was on
         a mission to turn the business of property management on its head, with a new
         philosophy, a vibrant culture – and, in a bold move – no sales agents. Since then,
         Lisa and her team have continued to push the boundaries and Let’s Rent is now
                one of Sydney’s most successful property management agencies.

Helping tenants find homes and owners find
peace of mind brings us great satisfaction.
We’re all invested in the bigger picture, with
similar goals and a desire to help people.

Supportive culture
Not surprisingly, Lisa’s caring approach towards her property
owners and tenants is reflected in the way she manages her team.
   “We have an incredibly nurturing environment within
our office,” she said. “It’s tough enough as it is managing
property owners and tenants through the stress of vacating
and moving. Our culture is supportive, genuine and authentic,
mixed with a huge dose of respect.

   “It would not be the business it is today without our

Industry commitment
Lisa also believes in giving back to the real estate industry and
has been an active committee member of the REINSW Property
Management Chapter for the last six years, where she contributes
to industry-wide change.
   “It’s such an honour to be part of a committee of property
management experts who are always striving to push
government on change and take care of the needs of our
property management members,” she said.
   “We’ve put forward solutions to issues in the industry,
reviewed and commented on legislation, and met with the
NSW Government on many occasions. My involvement
at this level is hugely important to me.
   “Our team and clients benefit, because they know we care
deeply about the service we’re offering and have access
to the very best industry expertise.”

The future
So what does the future hold for Lisa and her team?
   “I’m really excited about what the future holds,” Lisa said.
“We’ve recently fitted out and moved to a new office, so we
now have a more comfortable and effective work environment.
   “We’ve reviewed many of our systems and processes from
start to finish, and will be implementing new training to support
everyone personally and professionally for the long term.
   “Our goal in the next five years is to grow our team and
continually review our processes and service levels. And we’ll
continue to push the boundaries and offer the best property
management service in the business.”

                                     As the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold, leading mindset coach
                                     Jet Xavier shares his advice about how agents and business owners
                                     can ensure they have the right mindset in place to navigate these
                                     uncertain times.

                                     By CATH DICKINSON

                           Right now, first and foremost, Jet Xavier said          Jet advised agents to “play the short game.”
                           agents need to focus on what they can control.          “Look at the practical things you can do
                               “This is key,” he emphasised. “There’s no       today to ensure your business can push

                focusing on the                What’s happening today?             “Being reactive and focusing on today is OK.”
                                               Tomorrow?                           Now, as an industry, Jet emphasised that
                right things, so                  “Things are changing         we all need to be less stressed.

                                                  Jet said agents can regain       “Unfortunately, it won’t change how
