THE APPLICATION PROCESS
In most instances, we will process your application within 24 hours and will advise you by telephone or email. If we are unable to contact all of your referees, this process may take longer.
APPROVING AN APPLICATION
If your application is approved, we will require you to present to our office to sign and collect the following documentation; Tenancy Agreement, Bond Lodgement, Body Corporate By Laws (if applicable) and Information Statement "Renting in Queensland". It is important that you carefully read these documents prior to signing the tenancy agreement.
COLLECTION OF KEYS
Our office is open Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm only. You will need to collect the keys, finalise payment of monies and sign all documents in office hours only.
PAYMENT OF RENT & BOND
Prior to taking possession of the property, we require 2 weeks rent and 4 weeks bond. If your weekly rent is more than $500 per week, the bond may become negotiable with the landlord. This office does not except bond transfers. All monies are to be paid in cleared funds prior to collecting any keys.
PAYMENT OF RENT - When signing the Tenancy Agreement, please bring your bank details
It is our company policy that all our offices are cashless offices, which means you have the following options to make your rental payments.
- BPAY Card set up by our office
- EasyPay Direct Debit System set up by our office (please note that you will need to bring your bank account details along when signing up the tenancy agreement.
- Direct bank transfer payments. This will be discussed with you when signing your Tenancy Agreement.
SIGNING OF THE TENANCY AGREEMENT
All occupants must be present to sign the Tenancy Agreement prior to collecting the keys. The keys will not be released unless all occupants have signed the Tenancy Agreement, shown photo identification and paid all monies in cleared funds and in full.
CONDITION REPORTS
When you move into the property, be very particular with the Condition Report and make sure you mark down anything not already outlined on the report. If you do not mark it down, you will be liable for discrepancies when you vacate. You must return the Condition Report to our office within three working days of moving into the property. Keep the report in a safe place during your tenancy, as you will need to refer to the report when vacating the property.
TENANT DEFAULT AGENCY
Our office is a member of TICA, which is a tenant default agency. Should you default in your rent or breach a term of your Tenancy Agreement, the details will be listed with this agency at the end of your tenancy. Once listed, the information will remain on file until the default is rectified. We do look forward to a harmonious agent tenant relationship, and we will only take this course of action when absolutely necessary. If you experience financial hardship throughout the tenancy it is imperative that you contact our office to discuss the matter in further detail.
