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.
