EP. 1739 - REAL ESTATE MYTHS “True, False or It Depends?” Property rental myths.

🏡 RENTAL MYTHS: BUSTED! 🚨 Think you know the rules when it comes to renting? Mark Novak and Cleo Whithear tackle some of the common myths landlords and tenants hear all the time. Myth: The landlord automatically gets the bond if there’s damage. Evidence is still required to support a claim. Myth: Everything has to be fixed immediately. Urgent repairs are one thing, but non-urgent repairs can follow different timeframes. Myth: “I’m renting, so I can do whatever I want.” There are still lease conditions, strata rules and legal obligations to follow. Myth: A landlord can enter whenever they want. There are rules around notice and access. Myth: A landlord can automatically say no to a pet. NSW rental laws have changed around pet requests and refusals. Myth: The highest rental offer automatically wins. Not necessarily. A landlord can choose another suitable applicant — it’s not an auction. And the final myth… 😂 “Mark Novak is the best boss in real estate.” Cleo: “I’m obliged to say true.” Know the rules, know your rights, and don’t let rental myths catch you out. #RentalMyths #PropertyManagement #NorthernBeaches #SydneyRentals #RentingInSydney #Landlords #Tenants #NorthernBeachesRealEstate #RealEstateTips
