GuideAustralia's rental market is competitive, the rules are different from most countries, and new migrants are frequently caught off guard by bonds, condition reports, lease terms, and tenant rights that vary by state. This guide walks you through everything you need to know before you sign a single document — from how much a bond costs and who actually holds it, to your rights as a tenant, how rent increases work, and how to protect yourself from the rental scams that specifically target new arrivals.
