Entgangene Mieteinnahmen durch fehlerhafte oder unvollständige Mietvertragsdaten

Definition

Standard residential tenancy agreements and supporting documents require precise recording of premises, parties, rent, bond and term. • WA: At the start of a tenancy, the lessor or property manager must provide the tenant a copy of the residential tenancy agreement, two copies of the property condition report (within 7 days), the bond receipt and keys.[2] • VIC: The Form 1 residential rental agreement records the premises, rental provider details, renter details, rent, bond and other key data; extra pages can be attached and must be signed and dated by both parties.[3][4] • SA, QLD, ACT: Their fixed‑term or standard tenancy agreements similarly capture rent, bond, term and party details; receipts must include particulars such as date, period covered, premises and whether payment is for bond or rent.[5][6][7] When agents manually re‑key information from application forms into lease templates and then again into trust accounting and bond‑lodgement systems, common issues include: • Rent amount mismatches between agreement and system of record, limiting the amount that can be enforced or back‑charged in a dispute. • Bond recorded at a lower value than allowed by law or intended by the landlord, reducing recoverable amounts for damage or arrears. • Missing or incorrect tenant names or addresses, complicating enforcement, debt collection and tribunal proceedings. LOGIC‑BASED LOSS ESTIMATE: Assume an agency manages 500 residential tenancies with average rent of AUD 550/week (≈AUD 28,600/year per tenancy). If manual lease generation causes: • 2% of leases (10 per year) to be under‑rented by AUD 20/week due to data entry or template errors that go unnoticed for 12 months → loss per lease ≈ AUD 1,040, annual loss ≈ **AUD 10,400**. • 3% of new leases (15 per year) have bond recorded or lodged AUD 300 below intended, and the shortfall becomes unrecoverable in cases of damage/arrears → additional exposure ≈ **AUD 4,500** per year. Combined, this yields around **AUD 14,900/year** in direct revenue leakage for a 500‑property portfolio. For larger portfolios (e.g. 2,000+ properties), proportional leakage can exceed **AUD 60,000/year** if not controlled.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Residential leasing businesses in Australia 🇦🇺 lose 1–3% of annual rent roll to data and drafting errors in lease agreements. Automating data capture from applications and generating leases directly from a single source of truth prevents under‑charging, missed increases and bond shortfalls.
