Starting a NSW Tenancy — Documents Landlords and Agents Must Prepare

The handover starts before move-in

NSW Fair Trading requires landlords/agents to provide key information before a tenant signs or moves in.

Core documents and steps

• Tenant Information Statement.

• Proposed standard residential tenancy agreement.

• Two paper copies or one electronic copy of the landlord/agent-completed condition report.

• Strata by-laws where the property is in a strata scheme.

• Invitation to lodge the bond using Rental Bonds Online.

Why a checklist matters

Missing paperwork creates confusion at the start and weakens the property record later. A repeatable tenancy-start checklist makes management more consistent.
