SM

Has anyone rented through LJ Hooker on Cavill Ave? Looking at 2/14 The Esplanade, Surfers Paradise and would love some feedback before I apply!

JK

I rented through them last year — agent was professional but inspections were thorough. Check the reviews on the Broadbeach unit listing — should give you a great picture!

PR

Does anyone know the process for disputing a bond deduction in QLD? My landlord is trying to claim for damage that was clearly pre-existing — I have photos from move-in. Do I go to the RTA or QCAT first?

TW

Tip for all renters — photograph EVERYTHING on move-in day and email copies to your agent the same day. Creates a timestamped paper trail that's saved me twice at bond time. Get into the habit!

Questions
Frequently Asked
How long does the free/discounted period last?

We don't have a fixed end date — the launch offer ends when RentWatch reaches full operational capacity and traffic. Sign up now and your rate is locked in regardless of when that happens.

Will my price go up when the launch period ends?

No. Your founding member rate is locked in for as long as you remain a subscriber. New sign-ups after the launch period pay standard pricing — you don't.

When does billing start?

Not until RentWatch officially launches. Reserving your spot locks in your rate — no charge until we go live, and you can cancel any time before then.

Can I cancel?

Yes — cancel any time, no lock-in, no questions asked. If you cancel before launch you won't be charged at all.

Our Story

Why We Built RentWatch

"RentWatch was born out of frustration. Like thousands of Australians, our founder needed a place to live and found platform after platform more interested in taking money from stressed renters than actually helping them find a home. So we built something different. Because finding a place to call home shouldn't burn a hole in your pocket — or add to the stress you're already carrying."

The Problem We're Solving

Australia's rental market is tough. Finding a home is stressful enough without platforms charging desperate renters just to send a message, or landlords facing zero accountability for poor property management. Tenants had no real voice — and no easy way to warn others about bad experiences or celebrate good ones.

Good landlords and agencies existed — but they had no way to prove it beyond their own word. And renters had no way to know before they signed.

What Makes RentWatch Different

Verified Reviews

Every review comes from a tenant who can prove they lived there. No fake reviews. No paid placements. Just honest experiences.

Privacy First

We verify you then delete your documents. We hold nothing. Your public profile is as private as you want it to be.

Fair to Everyone

Good landlords deserve recognition. Bad ones deserve accountability. We're not a complaints site — we're a truth site.

Built for Renters

Finding a home shouldn't cost you money before you've found one. Browsing is free. Always. Because you're why we exist.

Our Promise

"Real reviews. Real tenants. Better rentals for all."

Join RentWatch

Free to browse. Less than a coffee a month for full access. Because finding a home shouldn't burn a hole in your pocket.
