I love my rental TV and washer can I buy the equipment?

As the rental agreement is a consumer lease regulated by the Consumer Credit Code, you have no right or obligation to purchase the appliance.

You may make an offer to purchase the appliance anytime after the end (expiry) of the standard 12 months rental term. However, we do not have to accept your offer.

If you wish to make an offer based on the age of the appliance and how long you have rented it for, then call us.

I’m short this pay and may have insufficient funds available?

If there will be insufficient funds available on payment day, call us the day before your direct debit is due to be taken to make alternative payment arrangements.

This will save you a $10 dishonour fee from us and your bank will also charge you a dishonour fee, often $30 - $40. It pays to plan ahead!

I want to end my rental period early?

If you end your Agreement before the end of the intended term you may need to pay an early Termination Fee.

What happens to my security bond after my rentals are picked up?

Once we’ve collected your rental products we check

  • they are in the same condition as when rented
  • that your payments are up to date
  • that your agreement has expired

We will then refund your deposit into your bank account. The entire process normally takes just 5 working days.

Do I need to clean the appliances before they are picked up?

We do like all rentals to be clean and we understand you will have been using them up to the last minute so they may not be spotless.

Will I need to insure the rental goods when they are in my home?
