Watch. Automate. Collect.
A fortnightly publication for Australian landlords who self-manage their rental properties. Law changes, tax traps, automation, and the things that cost you money when you miss them.
Rental law changes state by state. Tax obligations that trip up DIY landlords. Tenant screening without an agent. Maintenance schedules that prevent expensive surprises. Technology that replaces the 7% you'd pay a property manager.
Written for landlords with one to five properties who'd rather know the rules than pay someone to know them for you.
Rental law
State-by-state regulatory changes, notice periods, bond rules, and compliance deadlines.
Tax & depreciation
Deductions, repairs vs improvements, depreciation schedules, and ATO compliance.
Automation
Rent collection, inspection scheduling, maintenance tracking, and tenant communication.
Tenant screening
Background checks, reference protocols, and red flags — without paying an agent.
Stay ahead of the changes
Fortnightly. Australian rental law, compliance deadlines, and landlord automation. No filler, no upsells.
Bare Rent is part of the Bare publication family, alongside Bare Metal Digest. Same philosophy: strip away the noise, focus on what actually matters. For landlords, that means knowing the rules, automating the routine, and collecting what you're owed — without the 7% management fee.
