Condition Report
The Condition Report is given to you on the day you move into the property.
This report is an important written record of the condition of the premises and you will need to
complete, sign and send all attachments to the agent within 3 business days of moving into the
property. If you fail to complete this report accurately, it may result in difficulty to claim
your full bond at the end of the tenancy.
Repairs & Maintenance
We require all repairs and maintenance requests in writing via our Maintenance
Request Form or in the form of email. If under the Residential Tenancies Act the repair is
classified as urgent, the matter can be reported directly to your property manager on 0435 978
759. It is highly recommended that you also report the urgent repair in writing.
Contents Insurance
We advise all tenants to insure their own contents as they are not covered
under the Landlord's Insurance.
In the event that you, another occupier, or visitor accidentally damages the property and
rectification work is required, you may be required to pay any excess that may apply to the
owner’s insurance cover.
Keys
Maison Real Estate Agents retains a duplicate key to all properties for
emergency access. Locks can only be changed after you have obtained permission from your
Property Manager and you would then need to supply us with a spare set of those keys.
Routine Inspections
For a new tenancy the 1st routine inspection is conducted at 3 months through
the tenancy and will be discussed at the tenant induction meeting, then occur every 6 months
thereafter. You will be notified within 7 days of the scheduled inspection, if you are not
present we will access the property with the office set of keys.
Sub Leasing
Your tenancy agreement states the number of people that have been approved and
who can occupy the property. If there is any change in either the original occupants or any
additional occupants, please notify your Property Manager immediately and please be advised that
there is an administration fee that will apply for the changes to be made.
