AU Australia property term
Rental Arrears
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
Rent that has fallen due under a tenancy agreement but has not been paid.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Use the prescribed WA breach and termination process rather than self-help action. When buying a tenanted property, review the rent ledger, notices and any active dispute before settlement.
