The bond is then lodged and held for the duration of the tenancy with the Residential Tenancies Authority. Upon vacating the premises the bond will be refunded once it is determined that the property has been left in the same condition as at the commencement of the tenancy, and that there are no outstanding monies owing.
Once you have been approved for a property, don’t forget to organise for the connection of electricity, gas and telephone with the supplier of your choice in your name. Additionally, upon vacating the premises it is your responsibility to have these services terminated and accounts finalised.
Routine inspections of your property will be conducted quarterly, and it is expected that the property is maintained in the same condition as at the commencement of your lease. Follow up inspections may be required if there are areas that are not being maintained satisfactorily. Seven to fourteen days’ notice will be provided of the inspection and access can be gained with our office keys in the event you are unavailable during the inspection. A final or ‘exit’ inspection will be undertaken once you have vacated the property to ensure the property has been left in the same condition as at the commencement of your tenancy (allowing for fair wear and tear).
We encourage our tenants to report maintenance, even if it is only minor to ensure that your property maintains its investment value. Reporting maintenance is as simple as picking up the phone or download this form, fill out the issue details and email the form to [email protected].

Identification will be required, and no after-hours service is available out of office hours or on public holidays. It is advisable that you make private arrangements regarding the location of your spare key should you inadvertently lock yourself out. Locks may only be changed after obtaining permission from us. In this event, a spare set of keys must be supplied to our office within 24 hours.
Rent is paid directly into our licensed Trust Account via internet transfer. We will provide payment details once you have been approved for a property.

If you need to ‘Break’ your lease and vacate prior to the end of the term, please contact our office immediately on (07) 3392 1544. In these circumstances you will be responsible for payment of rent until the commencement of the next tenancy agreement. Additionally, there will be associated lease break costs. We will work diligently with you and the landlord to minimize this expense. Your cooperation with regards to showing prospective tenants will be paramount in this situation.
When vacating the premises, it is important that you leave the property in the same condition as at the commencement of your lease. You may need to refer to your ‘initial inspection’ and photo’s. Items that are often forgotten to be carried out during the busy time of moving are; ensuring professional steam cleaning of carpets, cleaning of ovens, grillers, hotplates and exhausts, cleaning of ceiling fans, light fittings and air conditioning vents, cleaning of windows, window tracks and fly screens, removal of cobwebs, inside and out, mowing and edging of lawns, weeding of gardens and removal of rubbish. Once you have vacated the property and returned your keys your final or ‘exit’ inspection will be conducted upon which time we will compare the condition and cleanliness of items to your original inspection report and photos. Any items that have been missed will be discussed with you and at that time we will determine the course of action for completing to the appropriate standard. Once all items have been restored to the original condition (allowing for fair wear and tear) and all outstanding monies have been paid (or deducted from the bond), the bond refund will be lodged. Remember upon vacating to finalise your electricity, gas and telephone accounts and to organise mail redirection.
