1. What is the Rental Price Formula?

The rental price formula calculates the adjusted rental price based on comparable properties and adjustment factors that account for differences in location, amenities, property condition, and other relevant factors in the Australian rental market.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the rental price formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Comparable Rent} \) — Market rent of similar properties (AUD/month)
• \( \text{Adjustment Factor} \) — Multiplier accounting for property differences (unitless)

Explanation: The formula adjusts comparable rental prices to reflect the specific characteristics of the subject property.

3. Importance of Rental Price Calculation

Details: Accurate rental price calculation is crucial for landlords to set competitive rates and for tenants to understand fair market value in the Australian rental market.
