Stop hoping your
next rental isn't
a scam.
Every landlord is ID-verified. Your deposit sits in escrow until three days after move-in. If anything's wrong, full refund.
Renting a furnished place in Australia is terrifying.
If you've searched for a furnished rental — for work, uni, or a fresh start — you know the feeling. Dodgy listings, zero verification, money that vanishes.
"I sent $2,000 to a landlord on Facebook. They blocked me the next day."
Rental scams on Marketplace, Gumtree, and classifieds are everywhere. No identity checks, no verification, no paper trail. You transfer money and cross your fingers. When it goes wrong, there's nobody to call.
How EzyFlats fixes this
Every landlord passes government ID verification before listing. Your money is held in escrow via Stripe — not transferred to the landlord. You don't lose a cent until you're in the property and everything checks out.
"The photos showed a modern apartment. I arrived to a mouldy studio."
Bait-and-switch is the oldest trick in furnished rentals. By the time you arrive to a completely different reality, your deposit's gone, you've signed something dodgy, and you're stuck.
How EzyFlats fixes this
Your deposit is held in trust until 3 days after move-in. If the property doesn't match the listing, full refund. The landlord doesn't see a dollar until you confirm everything is as promised.
"I signed a PDF my landlord emailed me. It wasn't even legally valid."
Generic templates from the internet that don't comply with state law. Security deposits mishandled. No digital signing. It's 2026 and renters are still printing, scanning, and hoping for the best.
How EzyFlats fixes this
State-compliant rental agreement generated automatically — a Residential Tenancy Agreement for SA properties (under RLA 346573), and for other states either a state-compliant RTA via our Digital Document Service or a Short-Stay Accommodation Agreement. Signed digitally. Security deposit lodged with Consumer and Business Services in SA; lodged by the landlord with the state Bond Authority for non-SA RTAs; held safely by EzyFlats for non-SA short-stay.
"I need 3 months but every lease demands 12."
Relocating for a contract, studying for a semester, between homes — you need flexibility, not a year-long commitment to somewhere you haven't seen.
How EzyFlats fixes this
Flexible lease terms from 1 to 24 months. Stay as long as you need. Leave when life calls. No 12-month lock-in — ever.
Move in with confidence
Every listing verified. Every payment protected. Every lease legally binding.
EzyFlats protects your money, verifies your landlord, and gives you a real lease that holds up — so you move in with confidence, not dread.
Four steps to your next home.
From first search to move-in day — here's exactly what happens.
Browse verified listings
Every property has an identity-verified owner. No scam listings, no fake photos. Filter by city, price, dates, and amenities — what you see is what you get.
Verify once, apply anywhere
Complete verification one time — government ID, income, and references — then apply to any listing instantly. Most verifications complete within 24 hours.
Book with complete protection
One $350 fee covers everything: ID verification, rental agreement generation (Residential Tenancy Agreement in SA, Short-Stay Accommodation Agreement in other states), Stripe escrow, security deposit handling, and Move-In Guarantee. Your money stays protected until you confirm the property matches.
Sign digitally. Move in. Done.
Your rental agreement is signed from your phone — a Residential Tenancy Agreement in SA, a Short-Stay Accommodation Agreement in other states. Collect keys, start living. Ongoing rent collected automatically via Stripe — no chasing, no awkward transfers.
Where your money goes — at every stage.
Your money is never sent directly to the landlord. Here's the exact journey every dollar takes.
Move-In Guarantee
If the property doesn't match its listing or the landlord fails to deliver, you receive a full refund. Protected from booking to move-in. Learn more

Everything you need to know.
The $350 isn't a transaction cost — it's the reason you can book a furnished apartment from someone you've never met and know your money is safe, the rental agreement is legal, and the property is real. It covers ID verification, state-compliant rental agreement generation (residential tenancy agreement in SA; for other states either a state-compliant RTA via our Digital Document Service or a short-stay accommodation agreement), payment escrow, security deposit handling (lodged with CBS in SA; lodged by the landlord with the state Bond Authority for non-SA RTAs; held by EzyFlats for non-SA short-stay), and Move-In Guarantee protection. One fee. No ongoing charges. No commission.
Yes. Every renter completes government ID verification, income documentation, and reference checks. This protects you too — every landlord is also verified. Verification completes within 24 hours and only needs to be done once.
First week's rent is held in Stripe escrow — not sent to the host until 3 days after move-in. For SA properties, your security deposit is lodged with Consumer and Business Services within statutory deadlines. For non-SA RTA bookings, the landlord lodges the bond with the relevant state Bond Authority. For non-SA short-stay bookings, the deposit is held safely by EzyFlats and refunded after move-out, subject to any agreed deductions. If something goes wrong before your rental begins, full refund.
Ongoing rent is collected automatically through Stripe on a fortnightly basis. No manual transfers, no bank details shared with the landlord. Everything handled automatically.
Yes. For SA properties, EzyFlats generates a state-compliant Residential Tenancy Agreement as a licensed real estate agency (RLA 346573 in South Australia). For properties in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, TAS, NT, and ACT, you sign one of two pathways: a state-compliant Residential Tenancy Agreement generated via our Digital Document Service (with the landlord as principal and lodging the bond with the state Bond Authority), or a Short-Stay Accommodation Agreement directly between you and the host, facilitated by EzyFlats as a booking platform. All are legally binding and signed via e-signature.
Absolutely. Flexible terms from 1 to 24 months. Relocating for a contract, studying a semester, between homes — no 12-month lock-in required.
Yes — if the Move-In Guarantee is triggered. If the property doesn't match the listing, you get a full refund of your first week's rent and the service fee. Cancel before signing a lease? Full refund. Once you've confirmed the property matches, the fee is non-refundable as all services have been delivered.
