Is your rent keeping up?
Three ways to check, in order from strongest to most conservative. Pick the method that fits the data you have.
Comparable benchmark.
The most accurate way to gauge market rent. Find three or more properties currently listed for rent that are similar to yours (same suburb, similar size, similar condition). Enter their weekly asking rents below and we'll benchmark your current rent against the average.
Add at least three similar properties.
Enter their weekly asking rents and addresses (or listing URLs) so you can refer back later.

Want a professional comparable analysis?
Your DIY benchmark is a useful guide, but Daria can do a full comparable analysis using leasing data, not just asking prices. Free for LPP landlords.
This benchmark uses the asking rents you entered. Asking rents may differ from achieved rents. A professional comparable analysis uses leasing data and accounts for property-specific factors like condition, age, parking, and recent renovations.
