Rising Rental Market
Investors breathed a sigh of relief as the RBA maintained rates another month, buoyed by positive July inflation data.
1 interest rate rise is possible before Christmas but becoming more remote as an option-especially with the latest inflation data at 4.9%.
This indicates inflation is on the way down without the need for more monetary tightening.
The banks foresee a significant rate reduction as long-term rates dipped by 1% in 12 months post-inflation control.
Rent climb steadily, though slower, with minimal rental options. Among the 570 Bourkes managed properties, 3 were vacant and swiftly leased, with the rest remaining occupied. Perth’s vacancy rate is currently at 0.9%, with supply being the ongoing issue.
In Canberra, the Federal Greens leader has proposed a two-year rental freeze as a well-intentioned remedy. However this is set to disadvantage you, our investors, with inevitably higher interest rates that cannot be passed onto the tenant. This could amplify property supply issues, hindering the very solution it seeks.
While not etched into law just yet, we’ve caught a glimpse of what might grace the tenancy stage come June/July next year.Â
In this upcoming Act, a new proposal emerges regarding pet tenants. The proposal deems that pets would be allowed to tenant a property, provided they do not contradict the property’s strata bylaws. For apartments or units, this is a key change. Special allowances may be made if the owner presents allergies.Â
Another note finds its place – the ‘no cause’ termination will be allowed to continue. Owners can continue to terminate a periodic tenancy, with the prescribed notice period, without the need to provide a reason for said termination.

Tenant of the Month
This month, we proudly shine a spotlight on Denise. A true embodiment of patience and grace, Denise’s journey with us began in the face of an unexpected challenge – a ceiling collapse. In the midst of adversity, she showcased remarkable resilience, exhibiting a level of kindness that left us truly impressed.
Throughout the process of navigating insurance claims and restoration procedures, Denise’s unwavering patience was a beacon of inspiration. Her positive attitude illuminated the path, even when the road seemed uncertain. Today, as the claim is being processed and the echoes of renovation fill the air, Denise’s spirit remains undaunted.
But that’s not all. Denise’s exceptional character extends beyond her own circumstances. In a gesture that encapsulates the community spirit we hold dear, she has offered to organize a skip bin to clear away the remnants of the old ceiling. Her determination to turn a challenge into an opportunity for positive change serves as a testament to her exceptional nature.
