At Realm, we are creating a new way to live. All of our homes give you the freedom to live where you want to live, for however long you choose, on flexible terms. Plus, Realm offers you a whole lot of extras to help you get the most out of every day– from dry-cleaning services to exclusive events.
Here are just a few things that make Realm a very different rental experience.
With an institutional building owner, Realm gives you greater flexibility when signing and extending your lease. Say goodbye to rental insecurity – once you move in, you can stay as long as you like.
Your dedicated Resident Experience team will be onsite 7 days a week to help you with anything related to your home – from arranging maintenance to organising a pet-sitter for your furry friend, and even organising building events!
Can’t be bothered to move the fridge again? At Realm you don’t have to! All homes come kitted out with a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dryer and full-size dishwasher.
Who has time to move home during a work week? Our team are on-site 7 days so there’s no need to take time off work. Move in Saturday or Sunday at your leisure!
Pets are part of the family, so they’re more than welcome at Realm! Check out our Pet Policy for the nitty gritty.
Whether it’s a routine paint job or an emergency repair, the Realm maintenance team has you covered. They know how important it is to be responsive, and keep you updated the way you prefer be it a call, text or email.
As well as the appliances that come standard with all our homes, a selection of Realm properties come fully furnished for your convenience, complete with TV and microwave.
We love the sense of community that Realm creates, and we host a range of events and get-togethers to give you time to catch up with your neighbours.
Want to paint a wall or hang a picture? Be our guest – we can even help with handy-person services to get you settled in! Just chat to the Resident Experience team first, and make sure your home is returned to its original state before you move out.
We can coordinate all the little things you may need, from child-minding and dog-walking, to dry-cleaning, personal training and beauty therapy.
We’ve answered some of the questions you might have below
At a fundamental level, ‘Build-to-Rent’ is an industry term that means the entire building is owned by one institutional owner, with the sole focus on renting the apartments. Living in a Realm home gives you peace of mind that you can stay long-term and build a community without the uncertainty that renting in Australia currently provides.
Along with the ownership structure, Realm properties benefit from exclusive facilities and amenities, along with dedicated maintenance teams and a Resident Experience team focused on delivering a community experience. Realm aims to revolutionise the renting experience with a commitment to personalised responsive service, world-class locations and quality design. Be one of the first to try this new lifestyle and let our team show you what renting can be.
Our team believes in a renter’s ability to choose a long-term home and we are pleased to offer this option. After your initial tenancy term, you will be offered the option to extend. We encourage our residents to put their roots down and grow with us.
We appreciate the need for flexibility in this changing world therefore we have created a variety of lease options to cater for the various needs of our residents. Our leases range between 6-36 months, however we welcome and encourage you to extend your stay with us when your lease expires and will be happy to discuss your options with you when the time comes.
Yes! We understand that our furry friends are part of the family. At Realm we welcome pets and have created a pet-friendly space with plenty of helpful services to help you care for your pet. To ensure each resident’s safety and comfort, we do ask that all pets are pre-approved through a free-of-charge pet application process and abide by our Pet Policy (available upon request).

Utilities are paid by the resident and metered separately, however our team will be able to assist you with connecting your utilities and in most cases offer an exclusive discount as well!

Our preferred payment method is automated payments direct from your bank through our Resident payment portal as we are a cashless property. Our team will be happy to assist you in setting this up. Alternatively, you are welcome to deposit directly into our bank account.
Rental rates will be assessed annually or upon your lease renewal, as is standard industry practise. Rent increases will be notified in advance and will be reasonable.
Please speak to our team who will work with you to assist you in the process of early termination. There are fees to terminate a lease early, which covers costs such as marketing, leasing and administration, as well as loss of rental income. We will never charge unnecessarily and will do our best to assist you and provide you with a transparent understanding of costs.

Your home is your castle therefore we do allow minor aesthetic changes to be made to the apartment, such as installing shelving or painting a wall. Please notify our friendly onsite team if you wish to make changes and we will advise of the costs involved as your apartment will need to be returned to its original state if/when you decide to move out. Our maintenance team will be able to help with the hanging of paintings and minor tweaks to your apartment.
We have a dedicated maintenance team ready to assist you. You can log a maintenance request through the online resident portal, or by contacting one of the team.
This depends on the urgency of the maintenance request, however we endeavour to have our maintenance team respond to all requests with an initial visit or call, within 48 hours on weekdays.

Each apartment benefits from individually controlled heating and cooling units to ensure your utmost comfort.
