Rental Property Application

Before any rental application can be considered, you must have viewed the home with a Property Manager from our team at St Ives Realty.

You will receive a copy of the Residential Tenancy Application form at the viewing. Please take this opportunity to ask any questions relevant to the property. For example – Is the hot water system gas or electric? Is pool maintenance/lawn mowing included in my rent? How many garage/parking bays are provided?
