Invest with purpose, exit with ease

May 12, 2025, 08:53 by Defence Housing Australia

We understand that a smooth finish is as important as a solid start, and that’s why we are excited to share our latest investor video "Lease end: What’s next?"  

In two minutes, we will show you three stress-free exit scenarios: 

  • End of lease: When the lease comes to an end, we return the keys with your home freshly cleaned, your gardens tidy and all appliances in good working order.
  • Extensions: If the lease is being extended, DHA will provide the landlord at least three months notice to extend the lease by the amount agreed in the contract. 
  • Selling early: If you decide to sell before the lease is up, we can help facilitate a smooth transition to the new owners. 
Easy lease ends are just one of the reasons why DHA is a reliable property investment. With more than 17,000 homes under management, we know what works for our landlords.  

You can enjoy the other advantages too: 

  • Long leases up to 12 years 
  • Guaranteed* rent even if the property is vacant
  • Comprehensive property care services, saving you time and unexpected costs
  • Stress-free tenancies with Defence families as great occupants. 
Our processes are designed to give investors real peace of mind.  Explore more videos and find all the answers to your questions on our website

* Rent may be subject to abatement under certain circumstances such as loss of enjoyment or amenity, or breach of lease terms. Rent is paid where the property is habitable. Should a property become uninhabitable during the term of the lease, or lessor breaches the lease terms, the rent may cease or abate and the lease may be terminated by DHA. Guaranteed rent is subject to the terms of the lease. DHA does not take into account an investor's objectives or financial needs. Investors should always seek appropriate independent advice before making any investment decisions with DHA. DHA specifically disclaims any liability or responsibility for the material referenced in the above links or associated websites.
