    • Condition Report
      The condition report must be signed and returned to our office within THREE (3) DAYS from the commencement of your tenancy. If you have found any discrepancies please list these separately with your name and the property address clearly marked. Please sign and date this also. Under the Residential Tenancies Act you may be fined if you do not comply with this requirement.

    • Occupancy
      Only the people originally included on your application, approved by the owner and named on your lease, are allowed to reside at the property permanently. If a new tenant wishes to replace an existing tenant, our office must be informed immediately, in order to complete an application and have it approved before moving in. A fee of one week rent will be charged should this occur. Please note that bonds are not transferable.

    • Paying rent
      It is the tenant/s’ legal responsibility to pay rent to their agent in advance on or before the due date. Rent payments can be made by cash/cheque/money order or through internet banking – you will be given details of your account number if you wish.
