Do I have to sign an Agreement?

By law we are not permitted to show or advertise a property for lease unless the appropriate Agency Agreement has been entered in to.

What is a property condition report?

This is a report that is compiled at the commencement of a tenancy prior to your tenant moving into the property. This report outines the condition of the property at the commencement of the tenancy and is used when the tenant vacates to ensure that the property is left in the same condition as the last inspection other than reasonable wear and tear. This should be carried out as soon as possible after the end of a tenancy, when the tenants have returned their keys

What is a Routine Inspection?

Routine inspections are conducted after a tenant takes possession of the property and are conducted regularly during the tenancy. These inspections are essential to ensure that your property is being maintained to an acceptable standard and to identify any maintenance that may be required. 

What happens when a tenant stops paying rent?

When a tenant falls behind in their rental payments they are issued with a notice of breach advising them that they are behind and requesting that they rectify the problem. If this is not done within the stipulated time period then a termination notice is issued requiring that they vacate the premises.

What is an "emergency repair"?

The RTA list various items including a burst water service, blocked or broken toilet, serious roof leak, gas leak or a fault or damage that is likely to cause injury, undue inconvenience, or which makes the premises unsafe or insecure (like broken stairs, broken locks or a serious electrical fault).
