Whatever you need, it starts here.

Every request you can make as a tenant, in one place, with the timeframe the law puts on it and a dated copy of the request to keep. You do not need to know which form you want. Tell us the situation and we will find it.

What do you need to do?

Pick the area, then the situation. Some of these start a clock the moment we receive them, so it is worth knowing which before you send anything.

The timeframes that actually apply

Four of these requests put a legal deadline on the landlord, and if the deadline passes without an answer the request is approved by default. Most tenants have never been told this, and most agencies do not volunteer it.

What the landlord has to answer by

Counted from the day after they receive the request, and if it is posted, add delivery time on top. Miss the deadline and the request is approved, or consent is deemed given, without them.

How much notice you have to give

Which one applies depends on the kind of tenancy you are in and why you are leaving.

Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (WA): pet requests s 50B, minor modifications s 50O, affixing furniture s 50J, major modifications s 50Y, notice from tenant ss 68, 69, 70A and 71AD. Checked against Consumer Protection WA in September 2026. The automatic approvals are real but they are not automatic paperwork, so keep your dated copy either way.

Everything you can do here

Sixteen forms plus the maintenance portal, grouped by what they are about. Anything marked with a document produces a completed, dated form you can keep.

Every form is set out in full below this list. Scroll down to the one you need.

Your lease

The property

Something needs fixing Repairs go through the maintenance portal, which time-stamps everything and can reach a 24/7 trade. Maintenance page

Support and admin

Feedback and complaints

Nothing matches that. Try a plainer word, or call us on 0422 238 434 and we will sort it out with you.

Lease renewal

Ask to stay on. Send it about two months before your lease ends, which gives us time to put it to the owner and get an answer back before anyone has to make other plans. The questions below the basics are what we take to the owner on your behalf.

Best sent
8 weeks out
Answer usually
Within 7 days
Document
None, this is a request
How would you rate your overall experience living at the property?
How satisfied are you with the condition and comfort of the home?
How satisfied are you with how maintenance and repairs are handled?
How satisfied are you with your property manager's communication and support?

This is the question that most often results in something actually getting done.

A renewal is not confirmed until the owner agrees and a new agreement is signed. If the answer is no, you will hear it from us with as much notice as we can give you.

Notice to vacate

Formal notice that you are ending the tenancy. This one has a real legal shape to it, so the page works out how much notice you are giving and tells you if it is short before you send it. You get a completed, dated notice to keep.

Prescribed form
Form 22
Periodic tenancy
21 days minimum
Fixed term ending
30 days minimum

Use the name on the lease. If there are co-tenants, list all of them.

A notice given by one tenant does not end the tenancy for the others. If there is more than one name on the agreement, put them all here.

The day you will hand back the keys, not the day you start moving.

Optional, and it does not affect your notice. It helps us tell the owner something useful.

Rent is payable to the end of the notice period whether or not you are still living there. Your bond is not released against notice, it is released after the final inspection.

Break lease request

Leaving before a fixed term ends. There is no prescribed form for this and no automatic right to do it, so it is a request rather than a notice. Costs usually apply. The earlier we know, the more of them we can usually avoid.

Prescribed form
None, this is a request
Typical costs
Reletting and advertising
Rent
Payable until relet

Everyone named on the agreement should be on the request. Leave blank if you are the only tenant.

You are not obliged to give a reason. Owners agree to waive or reduce costs far more often when there is one.

Seeking to have any costs waived or reduced?

Optional. A transfer letter, a settlement notice or similar often persuades an owner to reduce the costs. Up to 10 files, 25MB each.

If you are leaving because of family violence, there is a separate process with different rules and no break costs. Use the confidential form instead and we will take it from there.

Change of occupant

Adding a partner, taking a housemate off the lease, or swapping one person for another. Anyone joining has to be assessed and added to the agreement, and anyone leaving stays liable until they are formally released.

Prescribed form
None, this is a request
New occupants
Application required
Bond
Transfer form needed

Everyone named on the agreement should be on the request. Leave blank if you are the only tenant.

Type of change *

Nobody is on or off the lease until a new agreement is signed. Until then the people named on the current agreement carry the whole tenancy, including the rent.

Subletting request

Renting out a room, or the whole place while you are away. Written consent is required before anyone moves in, and consent cannot be unreasonably refused. Short-stay letting is a different thing again and usually needs council approval as well.

Consent
Required in writing
Your liability
Unchanged
Short stay
Council rules also apply

You stay responsible for the rent, the condition of the property and anything your subtenant does. That does not change with consent.

Pet request

Since the 2024 changes, a landlord cannot simply say no to a pet. There is a closed list of reasons for refusing, most of which need the Commissioner's approval, and the clock runs whether or not anyone looks at it.

Prescribed form
Form 25, s 50B
Time to answer
14 days
If not answered
Approved automatically

Everyone named on the agreement should be on the request. Leave blank if you are the only tenant.

Size
Desexed?
Microchipped / registered?
Strata complex?
Assistance animal?

An assistance animal is not a pet under the Act. If yes, no permission is needed and this form is a courtesy notification.

Worth filling in. Detail here is what turns a conditional approval into a plain one.

A photo of the animal, and of the yard if it will be outside, does more than a paragraph. Up to 10 files, 25MB each.

You remain responsible for any nuisance, noise or damage the pet causes, and for putting right anything it damages.

Modification request

A minor modification is one of twenty-two specific things on a list in the Act, from a picture hook to painting a room, and it runs on a 14-day clock. Anything else is a major modification and runs on 28 days. Pick the wrong one and the clock does not start, so if you are not sure, say so and we will sort it.

Minor
Form 26, 14 days
Major
Form 27, 28 days
If not answered
Approved automatically

Everyone named on the agreement should be on the request. Leave blank if you are the only tenant.

Modification type *
For disability access or child safety?
Who'll do the work?
Restore property on vacating?

Show us the wall, the room or the unit you want fitted. A quote from a licensed trade is the single thing most likely to get a major modification approved. Up to 10 files, 25MB each.

Unless the owner agrees otherwise in writing, the cost of making the modification, maintaining it and restoring the property at the end of the tenancy sits with you.

Anchor furniture to a wall

Securing a bookcase, a chest of drawers or a television so it cannot tip onto a child or a person with a disability. This one has its own section of the Act and a very short list of reasons it can be refused: asbestos, heritage listing, or a strata by-law. Nothing else.

Prescribed form
Form 24, s 50J
Time to answer
14 days
If not answered
Consent is deemed given

Everyone named on the agreement should be on the request. Leave blank if you are the only tenant.

Describe each item clearly. The form lets you anchor more than one thing at a time.

Who is it protecting?

Section 50J covers anchoring for the safety of a child or a person with a disability. You do not have to give any detail beyond this.

Who'll do the work?

The approved form asks for a photograph or a sketch showing where each item will sit. A phone photo of the wall does the job. Up to 10 files, 25MB each.

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, you cover the cost of affixing and removing the items, tell us about any damage that results, and restore the wall at the end of the tenancy.

Inspection reschedule

The time we have set does not work. Give us two or three alternatives and we will move it. You do not have to be there for a routine inspection, but plenty of people prefer to be.

Notice we give
7 to 14 days
Frequency
Up to 4 per year
Attendance
Optional

We will confirm the new time in writing. Until you have that confirmation, the original appointment stands.

Trouble paying rent

Tell us before the payment is missed rather than after. Almost every option that exists, from a short payment plan to a rent variation the owner agrees to, depends on there being time left to use it. This goes to Daria directly.

Move-in check-in

A week or two in, once the boxes are mostly gone. The point of this one is the property condition report, which is the document that decides your bond at the other end of the tenancy, and the small faults that are easy to fix now and expensive to argue about later.

You have seven days from moving in. Mark everything, photograph everything, and do not assume a mark is too small to note.

Anything that needs maintenance? *

Optional, and worth doing. A photo now is what settles a bond question later. Up to 10 files, 25MB each.

Anything urgent in here gets pulled out and logged as a repair, so you do not need to report it twice.

Document request

Copies of anything on your file. Most of it is sent the same day. A rent ledger for a bank or a rental reference usually takes a little longer because it is produced fresh.
