Tenant & Landlord Resources
We have gathered a list of resources to assist both tenants and landlords in successfully securing a long-term rental agreement.
Homeowners play an important role in housing availability on the Sunshine Coast. Earlier this year we surveyed Sunshine Coast homeowners. This research indicated that there are many potential long-term rental units that are not being utilized. Feedback from homeowners provided some insight into why this is happening and the challenges they face when considering renting their units. Highlights from the survey are included after the following section.
