Check your dates
This gives you a starting date. Your actual deadline may be different.
Use the correct unit
Enter the actual rent for one week or one month. Do not enter a fortnightly amount and describe it as monthly.
Split payment
If the ordinary non-weekly cap is $2,000, the statute usually lets a tenant pay $1,000 at commencement and the balance within three months.
Exceptions
Certain subsidized housing and employer housing use market value as the base. This tool does not calculate that exceptional rate.
Section 14(5) forbids separate first- or last-month rent deposits or extra deposits beyond the allowed security deposit. This calculator models the ordinary ceiling only; it does not decide eligibility for exceptional market-rent calculations under section 14(3).
