Smoke alarms It is a requirement of the Residential Tenancies Act or equivalent state legislation that a Tenant does not interfere with any means of escape from fire. This includes tampering with smoke detectors. Should you note that a smoke alarm is not working, please immediately notify the Property Manager. Please never remove smoke alarms or the batteries. Tenants are responsible for replacing batteries during the tenancy. Pools & spas If there is a pool/spa at the property, you must not leave the fence ajar, nor store/leave objects around the pool/spa which could be climbed upon. For more information, please see the conditions in your Tenancy Agreement and contact your Property Manager. Breaking a fixed term agreement Your Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding contract. There is no obligation for the Landlord to release a Tenant early from a fixed term agreement. If your situation changes, please contact your Property Manager to discuss the options that may be available to you. Leaving the property Contact your Property Manager to discuss your legal requirements with regards to ending your tenancy, as written notice periods will be required. Once the Property Manager has received/issued your ‘Notice of Intention to Vacate/Notice to Vacate’, they will contact you and advise requirements for handing over vacant possession. Once vacant possession is established (that is, all keys have been returned) a bond/final inspection can be completed. Please note: The bond will only be returned once it has been established that all rent is paid as required, the property has been returned in a reasonable condition as per the entry condition report (excluding fair wear and tear) and all applicable invoices have been paid. You may incur additional charges, such as daily rent, until the keys have been returned to the agency. Your bond refund Once any outstanding issues have been addressed and when the Tenant and Landlord/agent agree that the bond should be paid out, your Property Manager will process the refund using the Bond Authority online portal. Change of contact details Please ensure you notify us immediately of any change to your contact details including home, mobile and business phone numbers and email address. As per the Tenancy Agreement, we may issue you with formal notices via email, therefore it’s crucial you keep us updated should your details change. Privacy We will hold your details on file in line with the Privacy Act. You can be assured that your information will not be given to a third party unless otherwise stated by yourself. Rights & responsibilities If you have any concerns during your tenancy, please contact your Property Manager in the first instance. Welcome to Renting with Harcourts 5
