For landlords
Setting or reviewing a rent? See what new leases nearby agreed
For landlords who set their own rent in NSW or Queensland: recent new-lease rents for similar homes in the same postcode, from government bond data, and the published rules for a rent increase. General information, not advice or a valuation.
Free: the figures for an area
- Median rents agreed at the start of recent new leases, by suburb or postcode, home type and bedrooms, with the number of leases and, where there are enough of them, the change over 12 months.
- NSW: calculated from NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements over rolling three-month periods, updated monthly. Queensland: the RTA's published medians, quarterly. Each figure is dated; groups with too few leases aren't shown.
Check an asking rent
Enter the suburb, home type, bedrooms and the rent you have in mind: the check shows where it sits against recent new leases of similar homes nearby, the spread where it's published, and how the area has moved.

What the figures don't do
- A median for an area isn't a valuation of your property: its condition, features and what comes with it matter, and so does what NCAT or QCAT would weigh.
- New-lease figures describe rents agreed at the start of recent tenancies, not what sitting tenants pay or must pay.
