We have worked with the Registrar General and the Law Society to improve customer experience when lodging a Lease electronically.
Leases have been available for electronic lodgment since 2019. From 6 February 2021, NSW LRS will update electronic Leases by:
- Transitioning to a single counterpart document, electronic Leases will only require the Lessor to be represented on the electronic document. The paper Lease attachment will continue to require execution by the Lessee. Please see our FAQ's here: Preparing and lodging electronic Leases - FAQs
- Additional fields will allow rent details to be displayed on the electronic document.
- Leases affecting a registered Interest can now be lodged electronically through the electronic Lease document. This is equivalent to the current Sub-lease dealing available in paper.
*More information on these updates is available via Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the NSW LRS website.
