What to include in a land listing
To attract good tenants, make sure your listing clearly covers:
- Location: your suburb or regional zone. For privacy, don't post your exact street address publicly.
- Access: note wide gate clearances, steep inclines, or unsealed roads that could affect a heavy towing vehicle.
- Water: mains garden tap, rain tanks, or whether the tenant must bring their own.
- Power: an available 10A/15A plug, or whether the site is strictly for off-grid solar setups.
- Waste: access to a septic drop, or whether you require a composting or incinerating toilet.
- Pricing: long-term land lease rates in Australia typically run around $70 to $150 per week, depending on location and included utilities.
Please note: rules around leasing land for a tiny house vary by council and region. Always check your local council requirements and put any lease agreement in writing.
