Tenants & Renters

Find your home.
Rent with confidence.

BLP Properties aims to make renting clearer and easier — from finding a suitable property and understanding the application process to getting practical support throughout your tenancy.

Clear information. Practical support. A better renting experience.
For Tenants

Renting a home should not feel unnecessarily complicated.

Finding somewhere to live is a major decision. You need to understand what you are renting, what is expected of you and where to go when you need help.

BLP provides practical information and support throughout the rental journey, while helping tenants understand their responsibilities and the arrangements that apply to their tenancy.

Getting More From Your Rental

Your home is about more than four walls.

The right rental property should work for your everyday life. Consider the overall value of the home, not simply the advertised monthly rent.

Location

Think about your commute, transport connections, local facilities and everyday convenience.

Space

Consider whether the layout, storage and usable space fit your actual needs.

Condition

Look carefully at the property's condition and whether it meets your expectations.

Facilities

Consider whether features and facilities provide genuine value for your lifestyle.

Your Tenancy

Know your responsibilities.

A successful tenancy works best when everyone understands their respective responsibilities. Your tenancy agreement and applicable law will determine the specific obligations that apply.

Looking After The Property

Tenants should take reasonable care of the property and report problems appropriately.

  • Keep the property reasonably clean and cared for
  • Report relevant problems promptly
  • Take reasonable care of fixtures and fittings
  • Follow the terms of the tenancy agreement

Communication

Keeping communication clear can help prevent avoidable misunderstandings.

  • Use the appropriate reporting channel
  • Provide accurate information
  • Keep relevant contact details updated
  • Raise concerns when they arise
Repairs & Maintenance

Property problems are easier to address when they are reported clearly and promptly.

Explain urgency Make clear if there is an immediate risk or serious problem.
