If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the idea that you need to hire a real estate agent just to advertise your rental property, you’re not alone. For a long time in Australia, landlords like you didn’t have many options. The only way to get your property listed on the major rental websites was through an agent, and that often came with high advertising costs, letting fees, and ongoing management expenses. That’s exactly why Rent Private was founded—to give you an excellent alternative.

Rent Private was created to empower landlords across Australia. We believe you should be able to advertise your property professionally without handing over control or paying excessive fees. With Rent Private, you can list your property on all the major rental websites, access tenant screening tools, and manage everything yourself, all from one platform. It’s private rental advertising made easy, affordable, and effective.
Whether you’re renting out a single investment property, your former home, or managing a portfolio, we give you the tools to take charge of the advertising process while keeping more of your income. You’re in control from start to finish—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Say Goodbye to Agent Advertising Fees
One of the biggest benefits of using Rent Private is the money you save. Real estate agents often charge hundreds, sometimes thousands, just to advertise your property. That’s before any letting or management fees are added on. With Rent Private, you pay a low, fixed fee and get access to the same high-visibility platforms agents use.
Your property can appear on realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, rent.com.au, and other major rental sites. You don’t need an agent to get that exposure. We make it possible for you to list directly and still reach thousands of potential tenants across Australia.
Take Full Control of the Rental Process
When you use Rent Private, you take back control. You create your own listing, write your own description, upload your photos, and decide what information you want to highlight. You also choose who you respond to, when inspections happen, and ultimately, who you rent your property to.
You don’t have to go back and forth with an agent or wait for them to update your listing. You manage everything through your own Rent Private dashboard. This means faster responses, fewer delays, and more informed decisions—because you’re the one in charge.
Simple and Fast Listing Creation
Listing your property with Rent Private is quick and straightforward. Our platform is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, even if you’ve never listed a property before. We guide you step by step through the process of entering property details, uploading images, writing a strong description, and setting the rental price and terms.
Once your listing is ready, we take care of the rest. We distribute your ad to our partner platforms so it’s visible on all the major rental websites. This means you don’t have to manage multiple accounts or worry about duplicating content. Everything is handled for you in one place.
Real-Time Updates Across All Platforms
Need to update your rent, change your inspection times, or upload new photos? With Rent Private, any change you make to your listing is automatically updated across all connected websites. There’s no need to log in separately to realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, or any other platform. Your changes are synced instantly so your listing is always current and accurate.
This kind of automation saves you time and helps you avoid confusion for potential tenants. Everyone sees the same details, no matter where they find your listing.
Professional Results Without the Agent
Just because you’re not using a real estate agent doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing professionalism. At Rent Private, we give you everything you need to create a high-quality listing that attracts serious tenants. From photo guidelines and listing tips to advice on pricing your property competitively, we’re here to help you create a strong first impression.
When tenants see your listing, they won’t be able to tell it’s privately managed. That’s because your ad appears alongside agency listings on the major rental sites and looks just as polished—if not better.
Find the Right Tenants
Finding the right tenant is one of the most important parts of being a landlord. With Rent Private, you have access to powerful screening tools that help you make informed decisions. Our platform allows you to manage enquiries, arrange inspections, and request applications directly from your dashboard.
You can also access services like National Tenancy Database (NTD) checks to review a tenant’s rental history, credit file, and past disputes. These checks help you feel confident in your decision and reduce the risk of future problems. It’s the same level of due diligence an agent would use—but you’re the one in control.
Legal Resources and Documentation
Renting a property involves more than just finding a tenant. You also need to make sure everything is legally compliant. Rent Private gives you access to lease agreement templates that are tailored to your state or territory. We also provide condition report templates, bond lodgement information, and more.
Whether you’re in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, ACT, TAS, or NT, our resources are designed to keep you compliant with local laws. We make sure you have everything you need to set up and manage a tenancy with confidence.
Tenant Communication Made Easy
Communicating with potential tenants is easy through Rent Private. All enquiries from your listings are sent to your dashboard, where you can reply, send additional information, and organise inspections. You don’t need to give out your personal phone number unless you want to. You control how and when you engage with applicants.
This system keeps your communication organised and helps you manage multiple enquiries efficiently. You can also track which applicants have followed up, who has attended an inspection, and who has submitted an application—all in one place.
Support When You Need It
While Rent Private is designed to be simple and self-service, we’re always here to help if you need us. Our team is available to answer questions, provide guidance, and assist with anything from listing creation to tenant screening.
