At River Edge Real Estate, we provide friendly support and practical services to make your Renter services,experience as smooth as possible.

Looking for a rental property

Rental lists are available from the Yarraville office or by browsing our rental properties online.

Available properties can be viewed via private appointment or the published open for inspections.

If you are interested in a property, you will need to fill in an application form and provide appropriate supporting documentation. A decision normally takes between 24 and 48 hours and is at the absolute discretion of the landlord.

River Edge Real Estate ensures that all applications are processed and submitted for consideration. Visit our rental listings page to view our available rental property.

River Edge Real Estate will always refund the bond to a renter if the property is left clean and tidy and no rubbish or other articles are left behind. The property is to be left in the same condition as when you, as the renter, first moved in (as detailed in Condition Report).

The Residential Tenancies Act provides that it is illegal to use your Bond as the last months’ rent.

The rent must be paid by the due date and one month in advance and your rental payments are to be made via BPay. Cash payments will not be accepted. If the rental agreement is in joint or multiple names, all parties are individually and jointly responsible. If you are experiencing any difficulties in meeting your commitments, please advise your Property Manager. Please remember, our rental providers have financial commitments to meet and they rely on rent being paid on time.
It is the tenant’s responsibility to insure personal possessions against any loss, damage or theft. With the ever increasing incidence of burglary and theft, we strongly recommend that you take out contents insurance cover.
Upon the commencement of your lease, your Property Manager will complete an Inspection and full Condition Report and you will be provided one (1) electronic copy or two (2) paper copies, if you have no access to an email. You can then fill out your part of the report, keep your copy, and return the other copy to the property manager within five business days of moving in. This document is as important as the Residential Rental Agreement that you have signed, as it establishes the condition of the property at commencement of your tenancy and will be used as a comparison at the end of your tenancy as the basis on which your bond is refunded. The first inspection will take place three (3 ) months after your lease commencement. After that, your Property Manager inspects your property at six (6) monthly intervals.
It is your responsibility to return all keys to the property to our office at the end of your tenancy. If you have been approved to change any locks during your tenancy, it is a provision of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 that you supply our office with a key.
All maintenance requests must be made in writing. You may do this by emailing your Property Manager. Should you have after hours urgent maintenance, please email your property manager or refer to the “After Hours Repairs” brochure provided by your Property Manager at the commencement of your tenancy. Where possible, we aim to attend to requests immediately, however in some instances we are required to obtain quotes and Landlord approval, in which case there may be a short delay. It is the tenant’s responsibility to provide access and keep appointments with tradesmen. Maintenance of gardens/grounds is the responsibility of the tenant. Please ensure that the grass is kept cut, that excess paper and rubbish is removed and, were appropriate, excess furniture/possessions are not stored on balconies or verandahs.
Tenants are responsible for utility connections and ensuring accounts are in the correct names. You are required to arrange to have a meter reading prior to vacating the property.

The Residential Tenancies Act 1997 is explicit about how a tenancy ends. It can only occur when one of the parties of the Rental Agreement gives notice to the other party. If you want to vacate the property at the end of the Rental Agreement, you must give written notice twenty eight (28) days beforehand. If you want to vacate during the term of the Rental Agreement, you will be breaking the contract you have entered into and therefore are responsible for reimbursing the rental provider for any loss suffered e.g rent until the property is again rented plus the rental provider’s normal costs in re-letting.

These are usually:

  • All advertising and marketing expenses incurred
  • A portion of the letting fee being a percentage of the average annual rent based upon the unexpired period of the Rental Agreement (e.g if you have five (5 months) of the Rental Agreement left, you would pay five twelfths of the letting (fee)
The rental provider has approved the tenancy in your name(s). If a new renter wants to occupy the property, their application must be similarly approved, transferring the tenancy to another party. Please be aware that you will also be required to reimburse any administration fees incurred by the Landlord. The administration fee for the Landlord is currently $220 incl GST to complete the process. Any change in occupancy could affect the bond refund process when you vacate. It is imperative that you follow the lease assignment procedure and paperwork to facilitate a smooth finalisation of tenancy for all parties.

Latest Client Feedback

Alex has been fantastic with handling my property. His kind nature, professionalism and service stands out from the rest! Alex's extensive knowledge and experience within real estate exceeds expectations and confidence. Thank you Alex for you help and support.

As a landlord I feel like there aren’t enough reviews from our perspective. I’ve worked with Alex for a year or 2 now and he’s always looked after us. I was thrilled to hear he came out on his own. His always been driven and motivated that is why we came over with him when he opened shop. As a landlord I appreciate Alex gauging what we like and what we dislike giving us that tailored experience. Also during our initial engagement he offered us a fair and competitive quote right of the bat, which is quite rare from our experience dealing with other agents.
