If you own a rental property in Tasmania, you may have believed that only a real estate agent could provide the exposure needed to find tenants. That is no longer true. With Landlords Australia, you can now advertise your property privately and still achieve the same visibility that agents offer. This means you save money, stay in full control, and enjoy equal access to the platforms that tenants across Tasmania use to search for rentals. Whether your property is in Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, or a regional town, you now have the ability to compete directly with agencies without relying on them.
By choosing to advertise with us, you no longer have to pay large commissions or wait for an agent to act on your behalf. Instead, you connect directly with tenants, manage enquiries yourself, and decide who rents your property. It is a smarter, more affordable way to manage your investment.

How the Listing Process Works
Advertising your rental property through Landlords Australia is simple. You start by selecting a package, creating your account, and uploading your property details. This includes the rent, bond, lease terms, and high-quality photos. Once complete, your listing is published across major rental platforms where tenants in Tasmania are already searching. From there, you receive enquiries directly and can arrange inspections at times that suit you.
The process is designed to be user-friendly. Even if this is your first property, you will find it easy to create a professional listing and manage enquiries. Your property can be visible online within hours, attracting tenants across the state.
Understanding Tasmanian Rental Laws
In Tasmania, the Residential Tenancy Act 1997 sets out your responsibilities as a landlord. You must provide tenants with a written lease agreement, ensure the property meets minimum standards, and lodge bonds with the Rental Deposit Authority (RDA). You are also required to provide a condition report at the beginning of the tenancy. These rules exist to protect both you and your tenants, and following them helps you avoid disputes.
Landlords Australia offers resources to help you meet these legal requirements. By staying compliant, you build stronger tenancies and ensure you meet all obligations while maintaining control of your property.
Why Exposure Matters in Tasmania
Tasmania’s rental market is highly active, particularly in Hobart, where demand is strong. Regional areas such as Devonport, Burnie, and Launceston also attract steady rental interest. Without adequate exposure, your property can sit vacant, costing you valuable rental income. With Landlords Australia, your property is placed on leading platforms where tenants search every day. This ensures your property is visible to the widest possible audience of renters across the state.
Exposure leads to enquiries, and enquiries lead to applications. The more people who see your property, the greater your choice of tenants. By advertising with us, you give your property the best chance to rent quickly and to the right tenant.
Tips for Creating a Strong Listing
To maximise the effectiveness of your listing, presentation is critical. Here are some tips that will help your property stand out in Tasmania’s rental market:
- Invest in good photos: Take bright, clear images that showcase every room, outdoor areas, and unique features.
- Be descriptive: Write detailed descriptions that highlight features like heating, storage, modern appliances, or parking.
- Focus on lifestyle: Mention local attractions such as parks, cafes, schools, or access to the Derwent River or Tamar Valley.
- Be transparent: Clearly state the rent, bond, lease length, and pet policies to attract genuine applicants.
A strong listing not only attracts more tenants but also ensures that the enquiries you receive are serious and relevant.
Managing Enquiries and Inspections
With Landlords Australia, tenant enquiries come directly to you. This allows you to respond quickly and manage the process on your own terms. You can arrange inspections at times that suit your schedule and meet potential tenants face-to-face. Tenants often prefer this direct approach, as it provides them with quick answers and helps build trust.
When conducting inspections, make sure the property is presented well. A clean, tidy, and welcoming space leaves a positive impression and increases the chances of securing a tenant quickly.
Screening and Selecting Tenants
Choosing the right tenant is one of the most important parts of being a landlord. In Tasmania, you should always conduct reference checks, verify employment details, and review rental history. By taking these steps, you reduce the risk of rent arrears or property damage. Landlords Australia provides guidance to help you screen tenants effectively. By handling the process yourself, you have the final say and can select the tenant that best fits your property and expectations.
Financial Benefits of Advertising Privately
One of the biggest advantages of advertising your property privately is the money you save. Agents in Tasmania often charge letting fees, management fees, and ongoing commissions. These costs quickly add up and eat into your rental income. With Landlords Australia, you pay a one-time advertising fee and keep the rest of your income. Over multiple tenancies, the savings can be substantial, giving you more financial freedom and greater returns on your investment.
These savings allow you to reinvest in your property, improve its appeal, or simply enjoy higher income from your rental portfolio. Over time, private advertising makes your investment more profitable.
