Once
your Application is Approved
Once
notified of your application being approved, we will set up an
appointment to complete the Residential Tenancy Agreement and
related documentation.
At your
appointment to complete the Residential Tenancy Agreement, you
must pay the following:
- Rent:
first two weeks’ rent
- Bond:
equivalent to three weeks’ rent
- Letting
Fee: $100.00
Once all
necessary paperwork signed and all monies paid, we will be able to
issue you with keys to your new home.
Rental
Payments
Rent
under your Residential Tenancy Agreement is payable in advance.
If at any time you are unable to make a rental payment, on
or before the due date, please make immediate contact with your
Property Manager.
Bond
Your
bond will be lodged with the Tenancy Services.
The bond is held as security against any damage or undue
wear and tear. The
bond will be refunded promptly after you vacate, provided the
premises are left in as close as possible to the same condition as
when your tenancy commenced and there are no monies owing.
Routine
Inspections
During
the course of your tenancy, your Property Manager will inspect the
premises periodically. These
inspections are carried out during our normal office hours.
You will receive written notification in advance and are
welcome to be present during an inspection.
However, if you are unable to be present, the office keys
will be used.
Insurance
We
strongly recommend you arrange your own contents insurance, as
your possessions will not be covered by the owner’s insurance.
Repairs
and Maintenance
All
repairs and maintenance requests can be telephoned, emailed or
faxed directly to our Property Management Centre.
All repairs are
attended to as promptly as possible; however, it is often
necessary to obtain the property owner’s approval and/or quotes
before any work can commence, so a delay is sometimes unavoidable.
In the event of
an emergency, please contact our Property Management Centre.
If firm
arrangements regarding access for any tradespeople are not kept by
you, the service charge for calling the tradesperson will be
automatically passed on to you for payment.
Where applicable,
the upkeep of the gardens and grounds are your responsibility. Please do not store unnecessary paper, rubbish, bottles, cans
etc on or around the premises.
Termination
of the Residential Tenancy Agreement
Your
Residential Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding contract,
providing protection for both you and the owner.
To terminate your Residential Tenancy Agreement you are
required to provide Whangamata Real Estate Ltd with twenty one
(21) days prior written notice of your intention to vacate the
premises.
