What happens when I rent out my property?
More than half our homes are leased inside a week. This is that week.
- The call. A property manager calls within four business hours, agrees the asking rent with you from the comparable rentals, and sends the fee schedule in writing.
- Photos and the listing. We photograph the home and write the listing, then it goes on our own site first and the major portals straight after.
- Inspections and applications. We run the open inspections and take the applications, so you are not fielding calls.
- Screening. Every applicant is checked on background, references, finances and the TICA tenancy database before a lease is offered.
- The lease and the bond. The lease is signed, the bond is lodged with Consumer and Business Services (how that works is in our rental bond guide), and the ingoing condition report with photographs is done before the tenant moves in.
- Rent, from the first week. Rent is released to you the day it is paid, and the management fee only starts when the rent does.
How do I get my property ready to rent?
Start with the law, then with what tenants notice. In South Australia a rental must meet the minimum housing standards on the day the tenant moves in, with fines of up to $25,000 for a landlord who does not comply. Before the photos, check:
- Safety: wiring and gas in order, and a working smoke alarm, which every SA landlord must have (SA Government).
- Security: keyed locks on external doors that open from inside without a key, and latches on opening windows.
- The basics: hot and cold running water, a working oven, cooktop and sink, no damp or mould, and a home that keeps the weather out (Housing Safety Authority).
- The small things: dripping taps, sticking doors, broken blinds and tired gardens cost little to fix and show in every photo.
- The paperwork: keys and remotes for every lock, appliance manuals and warranties, and strata by-laws for a unit or townhouse.
It is also worth deciding two things now. Pets: since 2024 a landlord can refuse a pet only on the grounds the Act allows, and cannot take a pet bond (CBS). And insurance: our guide to landlord insurance in South Australia covers what a policy should include.
How do you market a rental?
Every home is photographed and listed on our own website first, before the major portals see it, so the people already watching our listings get the first look. While it is vacant we run at least two open inspections a week and track every enquiry, so you can see the interest as it comes in. The rent is advertised as a fixed amount: South Australian law bans rent bidding, so neither we nor anyone else can invite offers above the advertised rent.
How do you choose the tenant?
Every applicant applies on Form A1, the rental application every South Australian landlord and agent has had to use since 1 January 2026 (CBS: choosing a tenant). We then check identity, income and employment, previous rental references and the TICA tenancy database. You see the shortlist and approve the final applicant; nothing is signed without your say.
What rent will my property get?
Across metropolitan Adelaide, new leases in April to June 2026 had a median rent of $580 a week: $620 for a three-bedroom house and $520 for a two-bedroom unit, from the SA Housing Trust’s Private Rent Report. Your street, condition and timing move that figure, which is why the asking rent is set from comparable homes leased nearby. See the rent prices for your suburb, or get a figure for your own home with a free rental appraisal.
What are my obligations once it is leased?
Fewer than you might think, because we carry them for you, but you should know them. The bond is lodged with Consumer and Business Services within the legal timeframe. Rent can rise once every 12 months, with 60 days’ written notice. Routine inspections are limited to four a year, each with 7 to 28 days’ notice. Repairs must be kept up, and a tenancy can only be ended on a ground the Act allows. Each rule, with its source, is in our guide to property management in South Australia.
Why landlords rent through Wemark
Each of our property managers looks after about 100 properties, where the industry norm is 150 to 200. That smaller load is what makes the rest possible: replies within four business hours, three to four inspections a year with a photo report each time, and a named manager from the first advert to the final bond claim. Management costs 6.6% of the rent collected, including GST, plus a letting fee of 1.5 weeks’ rent plus GST when a new tenant is placed. There are no statement, maintenance or exit fees, and every fee is set out in writing before you sign. You can meet our property managers in Adelaide and see the full fee schedule.
Already with another agent?
Moving to Wemark takes one signed form. We notify your current agent in writing, collect the keys, the tenancy file and the bond details, and introduce ourselves to your tenant. The tenancy carries on unchanged, so there is no need to wait for the lease to end. The steps are set out in how to switch property managers.
Not sure what it should rent for?
Start with a free rental appraisal. You get the rent figure, the comparable rentals behind it and our fees in writing, with no obligation to go any further.
Asked before booking
- How quickly will my property be rented?
- In the twelve months to October 2026 our median home was leased in 7 days, 90 of our 170 tenancies were leased within a week, and the longest took 29 days. The rent, the condition of the home and the time of year all move that number.
- What does it cost to rent out my property through Wemark?
- Wemark charges 6.6% of the rent collected, including GST, plus a letting fee of 1.5 weeks’ rent plus GST when a new tenant is placed. Routine inspections are $33, lease renewals $299 and admin $12 a month, with no statement, maintenance or exit fees. The management fee only starts when the rent does.
- Can you take over from my current agent?
- Yes. It takes one signed form. We notify your current agent, collect the keys, the file and the bond details, and your tenant keeps the same lease.
- Which suburbs do you lease in?
- We leased in 77 Adelaide suburbs in the last twelve months, most of them in the northern and north-eastern suburbs. Every suburb we work in has a guide of its own.
- Can I choose the tenant?
- Yes. We screen every applicant and send you a shortlist, and the final choice is yours. Nothing is signed without your approval.
- How much bond will the tenant pay?
- Up to 4 weeks’ rent where the rent is $800 a week or less, and up to 6 weeks’ rent above $800. We lodge it with Consumer and Business Services, and our rental bond guide explains how it is refunded.
- Can I say no to pets?
- Only on the grounds the Residential Tenancies Act allows, and a request must be answered within 14 days. You cannot take a pet bond, but you can set reasonable conditions.
- Do I need landlord insurance?
- It is not compulsory, but building insurance alone usually does not cover lost rent or damage by a tenant, which is what landlord insurance is for. Our guide to landlord insurance in South Australia explains what to look for.
- Can you lease a furnished property?
- Yes. We offer a fully furnished management service as well as managing unfurnished homes.
- Do I need to live in Adelaide?
- No. Rent is released through the Ailo app the day it is paid, with statements and inspection reports there whenever you want them.
