AU Australia property term
Rent in Advance
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
Rent paid before the period of occupation to which the payment applies.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
A WA landlord can generally ask for no more than two weeks' rent in advance and cannot demand the next payment before the covered period ends. A tenant may voluntarily offer a longer prepayment in writing.
