Your Property Management Questions Answered

What is a Property Condition Report?


This is a comprehensive report that is compiled at the commencement of a tenancy prior to your tenant moving into the property. This is a very important document, as it is used to complete the final bond inspection when the tenant vacates. It is both written and photographic. 

 

What is a Routine Inspection?


Routine inspections are conducted after a tenant takes possession of the property and are generally conducted after the first 6-8 weeks and then every three months, depending on the Lessors agreement with the agent. These inspections are essential to ensure that your property is being maintained to an acceptable standard and to identify any maintenance that may be required. A copy of the routine inspection report is forwarded to you after each inspection and should it be necessary, a member of the Druitt Saunders Property Management Team will contact you to discuss items noted on the report.


What is a Final Bond Inspection?

A final bond inspection is the thorough inspection carried out upon a tenants vacation to ensure that they have returned the property in a good condition, with fair wear and tear taken into consideration. The Property Condition Report is used for the basis for comparison.

What happens when a tenant stops paying rent?


At Druitt Saunders we have a Zero tolerance policy on rent arrears. When a tenant falls behind in their rental payments they are issued with a formal notice immediately, they are contacted to advise them that they are behind and it is requested that they rectify the arrears. Procedures are then followed in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act to ensure that either the arrears are paid, or the tenancy is terminated. 

How do tenants pay their rent?


At Druitt Saunders, we make it as easy as possible for your tenants to pay their rent, offering several methods that tenants can use including:
  • By cheque or money order or cash
  • Internet Banking through their chosen financial institution (direct credit)
  • B-pay
  • Direct debit from the tenants nominated bank account

When does the rent money get paid into my account?


At the end of every month and at mid-month (depending on what you have nominated) all monies held, is paid to you by way of direct debit to your nominated bank account. A statement is issued at the end of the month, clearly outlining all income and expenditure for the property.
