Paying rent It is your legal responsibility to pay your rent in advance. Please ensure that your payments reach us on the due date. Rent should be paid by the method stated on your tenancy agreement. If you have any problems with your rent payments please notify your Property Manager at the earliest possible time. If you fall into arrears, we will be obligated to follow the procedures outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act or equivalent state legislation to collect the rent on behalf of the Landlord. Paying bond The rental bond is requested as financial protection should there be a breach in the tenancy agreement. Your rental bond will be lodged with the relevant state government’s bond authority. The bond is held as security against any property damage, undue wear and tear or in the event there is money owing at the end of tenancy. Once it is established that all conditions of the tenancy have been met, the bond will be refunded promptly. The amount of bond payable is specified in the tenancy agreement. All tenants are responsible to ensure rent is paid in full and on time and that the property sustains no damage. If damage does occur and rent is not paid, a claim may be made against the bond held. Please note that your liability is not limited to the bond amount held. Inventory/pre-inspection A property condition report is used to determine the condition of the property at the commencement of your tenancy. It also ensures that you are not held responsible for damage at the expiry of your tenancy which may have been there prior to your occupation. If there is anything that the Property Manager has missed, you should note these on the report and include photos where possible. Please then sign and return the document to your Property Manager within your state legislated time frame. The document will be filed with your Tenancy Agreement and used as evidence of the property condition at the commencement of the tenancy. Occupancy Only the people (and the number of people) included on your tenancy agreement are permitted to reside at the property on a permanent basis. Should a Tenant wish to move in or out, you are required to contact us in writing immediately. Please note, a new Tenant will need to be approved through the application process prior to moving in. Routine inspections Inspections will be made at regular intervals during your tenancy to highlight the condition of the property to the Owner. We are required under the guidelines of the Residential Tenancies Act or equivalent State legislation to provide you with notice of an upcoming inspection. This notice will specify the date that the Property Manager will enter your premises to conduct the inspection. Unfortunately due to time constraints, it is not always possible to alter the inspection date. You don’t have to be present, but are most welcome to be there so we can discuss any problems or aspects of your tenancy that require attention. Please note, photos may be taken during the inspection to highlight the condition to the Owner. Please ensure any pets you may have are secured.
