The owner’s insurance on the property does not cover your contents for loss or damage. If you are wanting your belongings covered then be sure to organise your own insurance cover.

We will inspect your property approximately 3 times per year. We will contact you in advance to arrange a convenient time and will always ensure that we give you plenty of notice.

We will always leave you a business card to ensure you know we have attended. We do take pictures and sometimes videos of the property for the owner.

This report is very important to you as it outlines the condition of the property at the commencement of your tenancy, and is used at the end of your tenancy to assess whether you are leaving the property in the same condition as when you moved in.

You are provided a copy of the Property Condition Report at the start of the tenancy – which you sign and date. You then have 3 working days to return this with any changes you feel are appropriate.

It’s really important you pay your rent “in advance” at all times. If at any time you are unable to make a rental payment, please contact your property manager. If you do not pay your rent on time and neglect to contact our office you will be issued a Breach Notice. If you still don’t pay your rent, the end result could be eviction.

No. Access is by arrangement with the tenant, but the tenant cannot unreasonably withhold consent. It is important that if you do not want ‘open homes’ then you tell your landlord as soon as you find out that the owner is intending to sell, and make sure you provide access by appointment instead.

In a fixed term tenancy the landlord cannot give notice to move out, and if the property is sold the new owner must take over the existing fixed term.

In a periodic tenancy the landlord must give 90 days written notice. They can give 42 days written notice if:
– the property is sold with vacant possession;
– the property is needed for occupation by the landlord or their family (note, a family trust is a company and not a person and therefore cannot have a family member);
-the property is needed for an employee of the landlord and this has been agreed to at the beginning of the tenancy.

A landlord does not need to give notice to knock on the door, but if they want to come into the house they must give notice or have your permission:

– 48 hours notice for inspection of the property between 8am and 7pm, not more than once every four weeks;

– 24 hours notice for repairs or maintenance;

– with the tenant’s consent(which cannot be unreasonably withheld) to show prospective tenants or buyers.

It depends on the type of contract you have. In a periodic tenancy the tenant must give minimum of 21 days notice to leave in writing. In a fixed term tenancy you and the landlord must have recorded in writing if you are going to renew the contract or not, at least 21 days before the contract is due to expire.
