Rent advances for Sydney landlords

Available across Sydney

Property owners throughout the eastern suburbs, inner west, north shore, Parramatta and greater western Sydney can apply. Eligibility is about the property and the tenancy rather than the postcode:

• A residential investment property with a licensed managing agent
• A verified lease with the tenant paying on time
• Held by an individual, joint owners, a company or a family trust (SMSF isn't eligible)

Why Sydney landlords advance rent

Sydney landlords carry the country's highest holding costs alongside its highest rents. Land tax assessments, strata levies on apartments — particularly where remediation or defect works are underway — and the cost of turning over a property between tenancies all land as lump sums, while rent arrives weekly.

• NSW land tax — covering the annual assessment without dipping into savings or refinancing
• Strata and special levies — apartment owners facing remediation or capital works levies
• Renovation between tenancies — a kitchen or bathroom refresh that resets the rent at the next lease
• The next deposit — moving on a purchase without waiting weeks for a bank

An illustrative Sydney property

Uses 4.33 weeks per month. Agent fees are an editable example, not a market quote. All deductions, dates and rent must be verified. The landlord receives no regular net rent from this property during the purchased period.

An example, not a local market rent estimate. Your figure depends on your actual rent and the months you choose. One fee, shown in dollars before you commit to anything, recovered from the rent itself through your property manager. If rent stops or expenses change, your signed agreement governs the shortfall. The purchased period is not automatically extended. This is not rent insurance.

How it works in practice

1. Start with an online estimate, then provide the details needed for verification
2. Your Sydney property manager confirms the lease through a verification link
3. You review the offer, sign electronically, and we confirm funding timing after all checks and payment directions are complete
