I get that they can legally put up the rent mid-lease and often bury this in the details but advertising one price but noting that it'll increase as of the lease start date?

That’s actually not bad. I’m paying $660 for a shit hole in Bracken Ridge with no pool
Is this an AI hallucination?
Looks like that’s an AI summary, which isn’t always accurate as per its disclaimer. Have you verified that it’s correct?
Is this a break lease situation? It something else?
That is bate and switch ‘sort of’. The add grabs you. It is not available at the advertised price.
They need to pass a law outlawing AI exemptions. If you don’t check AI work, you get what you deserve.
The actual description says the rent will increase 2 months from the lease start date, so the current tenants are breaking their lease and you will get 2 months at the previous tenants rent.
The Ai has misread this in the description.
Contact will dictate the terms
How is it legal? Because the people who pass laws, and the people who fund their campaigns, own investment property
Fucking, dont get me started on Ray White.
“You see your honor, it’s CURRENTLY $515 per week – so we’re not breaking the law by advertising for that…”

Usually they at least give two weeks from the start of lease before they increase! This time they said fuck it right from the start.
It’s a break lease, they have to honour the rent price for 12 months per property not per lease due to a law change.
But they should have the increase more visible for sure.
It does need a tweak to the law.
Should be advertised at full rent, with (discounted to xxx until abc date)
Then its a binus, not a horror
That’s over a $5000 increase per year. Most salary increases couldn’t even keep up with that increase. Greedy cunts
In QLD now, you are only allowed one rent increase a year, which is on a set date and no longer related when a lease starts or is renewed.
This is why there are adverts now which state that the rent will go up on “x” date.
This is a accommodation for Mermaids they need a place to stay also guys xox
From the first picture I thought they were renting out the pool cabana and pool
This is due to the new laws that only allow one rent increase per year per property. That generally means rent increases won’t line up with new tenancies anymore. They obviously advertise at the lower rate but yeah the details on rent increase is in the ad. Poor policy implementation
It’s Mango Hill – that whole area (North Lakes, Griffin etc) jumps wildly every lease renewal.
108 upvotes for blindly trusting slop. Ughh
As someone who lives quite literally down the road from these townhouses…. Don’t. Very loudly don’t consider. I am moving in a few months because of this area.
>How is this legal?
How is what legal? The site using some dumb AI tool? What does AI generated property highlights have to do with the rental agreement? It says it plain as day in the ad what is going to happen. They’ve even gone out of their way to massively highlight it.

Whether the increase is justified or not is another story, but the ad seems above board to me.
bait and switch tactics.
