The latest announcement from Victoria's minister for consumer affairs Jane Garrett has encouraged people to download RentRight, a phone application that provides tenants with information about their responsibilities and rights, as well as a number of tools to help make the process of renting easier.
This could be well worth downloading for renters of Bentleigh real estate, especially after Consumer Affairs Victoria received over 90,000 calls from tenants and landlords during 2013/14.

Renters looking for property in Bentleigh should get in contact with Matt Hurlston at Ray White Carnegie. With a detailed knowledge of the local community, he will be able to help you find a listing suitable for your needs.
