Looking for a Rental property to call Home?

We hope the following information will help you.

All information about our available rental properties can be obtained from our office window display or rental list at the front counter and also from the internet.

Drive past any properties you may be interested in renting. Have a look at the outside of the home, (however, do not go on the property). If you like the location and the appearance of the property, phone our office to arrange an inspection. Elders Padstow believe in personal service, therefore we do not give out keys to prospective tenants to look at our rental properties. All inspections are by appointment with one of our Property Managers. This is also done for safety reasons protecting our rental properties and also for our future tenants security.

After choosing a home, you will need to fill out an application form, just ask our Property Manager for one.

All tenants over the age of 18 years must complete and sign this form. Please ensure all details are included, you will also need to provide drivers license, passport (if possible) which will be photo copied and attached to your application. Do not forget to sign the disclaimer, so we can proceed with your application. Please be assured that your privacy is our utmost priority.

The Landlord will make the final decision in regard to the successful applicant.
