Prospective tenants. Stay away from landlords/agents that charge you:
- contract fees
- credit check fees
- management/admin fees
- inspection fees
- agent fees etc

These are honestly operating costs associated with being a landlord.

Landlords, like I said before, this is a business and as such there will be operational costs. In order not to continuously incur fees and try pass them onto tenants, do things right the first time:

- get a proper base contract drafted (no, not by your 3rd year law school friend or uncle who specializes in criminal litigation)

- use 3 months banks statements to make initial affordability assessment

- sign up to credit bureau agencies to do your own checks and pay the annual/monthly rate
