Applying for a property
When you find the right property with YOU Real Estate, you will need to complete a Tenancy Application Form (Click here for form). You may need to provide copies of identification copies to the value of 100 points with your application. For example, a Driver Licence, Medicare, credit card and a bill addressed to you at your current address.
Bond
The rental bond is requested as financial protection should there be a breach in the tenancy agreement. Your rental bond will be lodged with the Office of Regulatory Services. The bond is held as security against any property damage, undue wear and tear or in the event there is money owing at the end of tenancy. Once it is established that all conditions of the tenancy have been met, the bond will be refunded promptly. The amount of bond payable is specified in the tenancy agreement. Please note the bond required may increase where there is a rent increase.
Occupancy
Only the people (and the number of people) included on your tenancy agreement are permitted to reside at the property on a permanent basis. Should a tenant wish to move in or out you are required to notify us in writing immediately. Please note, a new tenant will need to be approved through the application process prior to moving in.
Paying the rent
It is your legal responsibility to pay your rent, to the Landlord in advance. Please ensure that your payments reach us on or before the due date. YOU Real Estate Property Management will not physically collect your rent. Rent must be paid by direct credit as stated on your tenancy agreement. If you have any problems with your rent payments please notify your Property Manager at the earliest possible time. If you fall into arrears, we will be obligated to follow the procedures outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act to collect the rent on behalf of the landlord.
Emergency Repair
When renting with YOU Real Estate, you will find details of emergency contacts for emergency repairs. We ask that you always try to contact your Property Manager first, however if it is after hours and you cannot contact the Property Manager, you are permitted to contact the emergency contractors directly.
The legislation is specific about what constitutes an emergency repair and it's important that you know that should the issue not be deemed an emergency, you will be responsible for the account. An emergency repair is something that is likely to cause injury, undue inconvenience, or which makes the property unsafe or insecure. (For eg. burst water service, broken toilet (where there is no other toilet), serious leak, serious electrical fault).
