INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE TENANTS

Help us to help you

Your assistance with the following will help us to process your application without delay.

☼ Complete the ‘Application for Residential Tenancy’ form with as much information as possible.

☼ Provide us with your current or previous tenant’s ledger card.

☼ Provide us with 100 points of Identification.

☼ Provide us with written references from previous and current Landlords or agent, as well as personal & employment references.

The more information you provide the easier it is for you to convince the landlords that you are the best applicant for their property.

Landlords ask only three things of Tenants:

1. Pay the rent on time.

2. Look after the property.

3. Don’t annoy the neighbours.

If you can prove to the landlord that you can do these three things and do them better than any other prospective tenants – the property is yours.

As soon as your completed application has been received, it will be processed by our property manager who will confirm the information you have supplied.

Your application, together with any other applications that may have been received for the same property will be referred to the owners of that property for their instruction.

There is usually more than one applicant for each property. The most suitable applicant will get the property, not necessarily the first applicant.

You will be contacted by our property manager and advised of the outcome. This process normally takes around forty-eight hours depending on the promptness of replies we receive from your previous and current Landlord or agent, as well as personal & employment referees.

WHY DO I NEED A PROPERTY MANAGER?

Managing your own rental investment property may sound like an easy way to save a few dollars, but that view could be considered short sighted and often costs you more money in the long term. There is little point in avoiding a nominal, tax-deductible management fee if it costs you thousands of dollars in unpaid rent or malicious  damage to your property.

Landlords who manage their own properties often charge rent well below the current market value either because they are out of touch with current trends or their  relationship with their tenant becomes too personal and they are reluctant to raise the rent.

In addition to having an experienced property manager dedicated to ensuring your rental property is well cared for and maintained, weekend telephone calls to fix leaky plumbing etc. are no longer your problem.

The legal aspects of renting a property are becoming more complex and there is much to be gained from putting your rental property in the hands of professionals who understand terms such as ‘discrimination’ and ‘landlord’s responsibility’. We are well versed in the legal rights and obligations of tenants and landlords. For example; do you know how often you are obligated to test smoke alarms?
