Rental Property Management Review

✅ Status: Awaiting SRO Approval

Your rental management system is ready. The key remaining step is State Revenue Office (Victorian Homebuyer Fund) approval before signing with the tenant.

Key questions for SRO: (1) Can I lease a portion while maintaining residency? (2) What documentation do you need? (3) What's the processing timeline?
