Applicant Screening

A thorough screening process that reduces risk for everyone

How we screen share-house applicants?

In a shared home, the “right tenant” isn’t just about income -  it’s also about household fit, behaviour, reliability, and respect for shared spaces. That’s why our screening combines human judgement with structured checks to minimise the risk of rent issues, property damage, or ongoing conflict.

Tenant selection is one of the most important parts of property management. When we place a stable, respectful long-term tenant who pays on time and looks after the home, it benefits everyone — owners, housemates, and the wider household.

We follow fair, consistent screening practices aligned with Australian renting standards and privacy expectations, while keeping the experience clear and respectful for applicants.

What We Do as Your Share House Property Manager

When a room becomes vacant or a property is being converted into shared accommodation, we manage the rent-ready process end-to-end. That includes a practical inspection checklist, presentation guidance, cleaning/repairs coordination (if required), and a clear plan to improve tenant appeal. The goal is simple: a compliant, presentable home that attracts better housemates and leases faster.

Shared accommodation has extra compliance and risk points—documentation, privacy, bond handling, notices, minimum standards, and clear expectations for shared spaces. We keep your tenancy process structured and compliant, reduce avoidable disputes, and ensure the right paperwork and timelines are followed. You stay protected, and the house runs smoother.

We don’t just post a listing—we position each room to the right audience. From rent guidance and listing optimisation to enquiry handling and booking inspections, we focus on reducing vacancy time while protecting rental value. Fast response + clear information = more quality enquiries, less time wasted.

In a share house, “good tenant” also means “good fit.” We screen for affordability, stability, and shared-living suitability—so you avoid late payments, conflict, and constant turnover. Our process filters red flags early and helps place respectful housemates who are more likely to stay longer.

We prepare the tenancy documents and ensure every housemate understands the basics—rent, bond, notice periods, and shared-area expectations. Clear house rules reduce misunderstandings and protect your property. When renewals are due, we manage the process with consistency, so occupancy stays stable and transitions are handled properly.

We run a consistent rent collection system with early follow-ups, clear reminders, and a structured arrears workflow. In share houses, speed matters—small delays can become bigger problems if ignored. Our focus is predictable cashflow for owners and fair, consistent enforcement for tenants.

We coordinate maintenance requests, prioritise urgent issues, and manage trusted trades to keep the property protected. You get clear communication, sensible approvals, and transparent invoicing. For after-hours issues, we follow an escalation process that protects your asset and minimises tenant disruption.

You receive organised reporting with clear rent totals, expenses, invoices, and net disbursement—so you always know where your money is going. Share house accounting can be more detailed (room-by-room rent movements), so we keep records structured and easy to follow—especially at tax time.

Shared living can occasionally create friction—noise, cleanliness, late rent, or house rules. We step in early to manage issues professionally and reduce escalation. If formal steps are required, we guide the process with correct documentation and timelines - keeping everything calm, compliant, and outcome-focused.
