General Information

Finding tenants

We place great importance on finding the best possible tenant, conducting credit and reference checks, and where possible, visiting the prospective tenant at home. This gives an immediate idea of the type of tenant they will be.

Part of the tenancy contract includes an agreement by the tenant to maintain the property in a clean and tidy state, and criteria regarding pets and smoking to be followed, as per the landlords preferences 

Rent in Advance

One week unless otherwise required by landlord 

Bond 

Three to four weeks rental, paid by the tenant via us, to Tenancy Services 

Letting Fee

Not charged 

Rent Collection

Rent payments monitored weekly and immediate action taken on non payment

Rent minus property management fees credited to your account fortnightly, statement/invoice sent to you via email, fax or mail on a monthly basis 

Payments on Landlords Behalf

Should you require it we can arrange to make payments on your behalf for rates, insurance from your rental account 

Inspections

Initial inspection prior to tenancy, recommended three monthly during tenancy, final inspection

Inspections can be more or less frequent than three monthly as required. If the tenant is proven and looks after the property well a six monthly inspection will probably be enough and save you some expense

Inspections include photos and a written report given to both tenant and landlord 

Repairs and Maintenance

We can arrange for repairs and maintenance up to an agreed limit as per contract with landlord

Tenants are expected to pay for repairs they are responsible for 

Re-letting

As per the tenancy agreement signed initially, on vacation we expect the outgoing tenant to leave the property in a high standard of cleanliness and tidiness both inside and outside

Where possible if re-letting a property before it becomes vacant, we will hold an open day per week for prospective new tenants to maintain maximum privacy for outgoing tenants 

Tenant Problems

We strive to select the best tenants possible, but should there be any breaches of contract by the tenant, we will issue ten-day notice letters, undertake mediation, or as a last resort, attend tribunal hearings on your behalf.
