Before You Sign
A guided checklist to use at any open inspection.
Covers every legal minimum standard, with plain-English explanations of what matters and why.
Renting is stressful enough. We made it a little easier.
Rentle guides Australian renters through every step of a tenancy. From your first inspection through to getting your bond back. Know your rights, document the right things, and feel supported every step of the way.

Why we built it
A lot happens between signing and moving out.
Every state in Australia gives renters meaningful protections on paper. Most renters never see them.
There are rules about how quickly things must be fixed, clear limits on what you can be charged for when you leave, and a legal window after you move in to document the property yourself — before anyone can dispute it.
Rentle puts that knowledge in your hands. Free, in plain English, at the moment you actually need it.
Rentle walks you through all of it, clearly and for free.
How it works
Guidance at every stage.
Moving In
Create your own photo-backed condition report. We remind you of your legal window and help you generate a PDF to send to your agent.
During Your Tenancy
Rent increases, repairs, agent entry rights - all explained clearly.
Moving Out
Know what wear and tear actually means, what you can and cannot be charged for, and how to compare your move-in and move-out condition side by side.
What's included
Three tools that make a real difference.
Legal-standard inspection checklist
Every legal minimum standard, every practical thing to check. Grounded in your state's tenancy law for every inspection.
Photo condition report
Timestamped photos, room-by-room notes, PDF export. A clear record you own independently of your agent or property manager.
State law, inline
Every checklist item explains the relevant section of the Residential Tenancies Act for your state, so you understand the reason behind each check.
"I wish someone had just handed me a checklist and said — check this, photograph that, send this email."
