Bond
At the start of each tenancy a bond is taken and lodged with the Bond Processing Centre, a maximum bond equivalent to four weeks can be charged but in most cases a two week bond is sufficient. The bond is not returned until exit condition report has been checked and cannot be released until both parties sign.

Regular Property and Bond Inspections
At the beginning of a tenancy an inspection is carried out with the tenant to establish the condition in which the property is to be kept, and also a Tenants Information Guide is given which outlines their responsibilities.

All properties are inspected every three months both interior and exterior, as well as Bond inspections between tenancies. Any concerns are provided in writing and discussed with the tenant and a copy sent to you.

After each inspection a full written report is sent to you or your nominee.

Collection of Rent
Tenants rent payments are monitored daily via our specialised computer system. If a tenant should become in arrears, prompt action will be taken to remedy the situation.

Property Maintenance and Repairs
We can arrange maintenance and repairs on your property as required. We try to use tradespeople that we have history with.

We will contact you if a repair exceeds the agreed limit unless it is an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do my own maintenance?
Yes, we are happy for you to arrange your own maintenance, particularly larger improvement items, however, you do need to keep us informed so we can relay the same information to the tenant.

Am I ‘locked in’ to a long term contract with you?
No, our period of notice is 1 month so if we are unable to find you the right tenant or you just feel a change is needed then you only need to give us a month’s notice in writing.

How do you select tenants?
All prospective tenants are required to fill out a Tenant Application Form. We require their income, their rental history and references. We use this information to determine if we think the applicant would be suitable to rent your property.

How do you keep track of rent?
We track the rent due for each day of the week and if a tenant has missed a payment we can commence follow up action immediately. We keep an accurate ledger of rent charges and tenant rent payments that meet the requirements of the Tenancy Services and the Residential Tenancies Act.

Do you send me a statement of rent collected?
Yes, we will send you a statement of all rent received and expenses deducted within the last month by email or post, depending on your preference.

Will you regularly inspect my rental properties?
yes, we will inspect your properties on a quarterly basis and send you a copy of the property inspection report for your information. More frequent inspections are available if you require them.
