You wouldn’t be unusual. Hundreds of thousands of Australian landlords already self-manage.

When the law changes, your lease template updates and we tell you what’s different, so staying compliant isn’t one more thing you have to track. See what’s changed.

The patchwork is the problem.

Self-managing usually means a spreadsheet, a dated lease template, a Gumtree ad, and a lot to keep track of. Tenwise puts the whole job in one place.

A look inside Tenwise.

Drafting the ad, screening applicants, tracking the rent, watching your tax position, staying on top of compliance dates, keeping your trades on hand — the parts of a tenancy you’d normally pay an agent to handle, in one place for $19 a month instead of a slice of your rent.

How it works, end to end.

Three steps from a fresh signup to rent landing in your bank account — and each step carries your data forward, so an approved applicant becomes the lease tenant becomes the rent payer without re-keying anything.

  1. 1

    Add the property

    Paste a realestate.com.au or Domain URL to prefill, or enter the details manually. AI drafts the ad description from your inputs in seconds.

  2. 2

    Share the link

    Publish a clean public listing page. Share it where you reach tenants — text, email, Facebook groups, neighbours. Enquiries land in your inbox; invite the strongest to apply.

  3. 3

    Sign and collect

    Approved tenant signs the lease online. Bond goes to the state authority. Rent moves directly to your bank account on the schedule you set.

List & share

Already on realestate.com.au or Domain? Paste the URL or description and we prefill the property in seconds. Otherwise build it from scratch with AI ad drafting, then share the public link wherever you reach tenants.

Screen applicants

A clean online application form with the same tenancy-database checks an agent runs (TICA and others). Applicants are never charged — that's the law in NSW, and we apply it everywhere.

Sign the lease

A state-specific residential tenancy agreement and a digital condition report, filled in for you. E-signing is coming soon — sign on paper until then. Bond goes straight to the state authority — never Tenwise.

Run the tenancy

After move-in: in-app messaging, structured maintenance requests, inspection scheduling, lease documents in one place. Rent moves directly from your tenant's bank to yours — Tenwise never holds it.

How we stay on the right side of the law.

Self-management means you manage your own property — and Tenwise builds the rails so you do it within the rules.

  • We're not your agent — you are. Tenwise is the software; you stay in charge of your tenancy.
  • Tenwise never holds your money. Rent moves by direct bank transfer from your tenant straight to you — we never hold it. See where your rent goes
  • Bond goes straight to your state's rental authority. It's their job to hold it, not ours.
  • When the law changes, your lease template updates and we tell you what's different — so you're not the last to know. See what's changed

Tenwise isn’t legal advice. Our lease templates and consent flows are reviewed by an Australian property lawyer before launch.

No other fees. Ever.

Your subscription covers everything Tenwise does. Here are five fees a managing agent or rival platform might charge you that Tenwise never will — so you don’t have to do the comparison yourself.

  • Setup fee

    $0 with Tenwise

    Agents and some platforms charge a one-off onboarding or account-setup fee to get started.

  • Letting fee

    $0 with Tenwise

    A managing agent typically charges one to two weeks' rent every time they place a new tenant.

  • Lease signing fee

    $0 with Tenwise

    Some platforms add a per-lease or e-signing charge each time a tenancy begins.

  • Lease renewal fee

    $0 with Tenwise

    Agents commonly charge a renewal or re-letting fee each time the lease rolls over.

  • A percentage of your rent

    $0 with Tenwise

    The standard NSW management fee is roughly 5.5–7.5% of every rent payment — for the life of the tenancy.

Compares one property. Agent figures assume mid-range NSW fees with one new tenancy in the year (letting + renewal both apply); some charge less, some more, and inspections, statements and marketing are usually extra. Tenwise is $19/month for your first property and $9/month for each additional, regardless of rent or turnover.

Common questions.

  • What's the catch?+
    The catch is your time. Tenwise does the paperwork — the listing, the screening checks, the lease, the rent reminders — but you make the decisions: which tenant, what rent, when to act on arrears. Plan on a few hours per new tenancy and minutes a month after that — we’ve itemised it in the honest hours. The trade in return: $19 a month instead of a percentage of your rent.
  • What if something goes wrong?+
    If a tenant goes into arrears, our software flags it the day rent is missed and sends a reminder. If they stay in arrears, you follow your state's process (we walk you through it). If you need to issue a termination notice, the templates are state-specific. If you'd rather hand off to an agent, your data exports as CSV and you can leave any time.
  • Is my data safe?+
    Tenant data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We host on Australian infrastructure where possible. Tenant identity documents and screening consents are held only as long as the law requires (typically 7 years after the tenancy ends). You can request a full export or deletion at any point.
  • Can I switch back to an agent later?+
    Yes. Tenwise doesn't lock you in. Your lease, bond receipts, rental ledger, and tenant contact details export as CSV. Most agents will pick up an active tenancy mid-stream.
  • Do my tenants need a Tenwise account?+
    Applying and signing the lease works from email links — no account required. Once a tenancy is active, your tenant can opt in to a free tenant dashboard (lease documents, messages, maintenance requests, inspections) or keep using email if they prefer. Either way, tenants never pay Tenwise anything.
  • Which states do you support?+
    NSW first, then VIC and QLD. Each state has its own lease templates, bond authority, and notice rules, so we add them deliberately rather than all at once.
  • How is Tenwise billed?+
    Per property, scaling cleanly: $19 a month for your first property and $9 a month for each additional, for as many as you own. Pay yearly to save (about 17%): $189 for the first property, $89 each additional. Monthly starts with a free first month; annual comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Billed via Stripe; cancel any time from Settings.
