Signed a lease on your first rental in Werribee? Congratulations — and welcome. Moving in for the first time can feel overwhelming, but a little preparation makes the process far smoother.
Before you get the keys
Confirm your move-in date and time with your property manager, arrange connection of utilities (electricity, gas, internet) ahead of time, and read through your lease agreement carefully so you understand your rights and responsibilities from day one.
Document the property condition
On move-in day, complete the condition report thoroughly and honestly. Take dated photos of every room, including existing marks, scuffs or wear. This record protects you at the end of your tenancy by clearly showing the property’s condition when you moved in.
Understand your responsibilities as a tenant
- Pay rent on time and keep records of payments
- Report maintenance issues promptly, in writing where possible
- Keep the property reasonably clean and undamaged
- Check your lease for rules on pets, alterations and subletting
