PROTECTING
CLIENTS:
Your protection
and satisfaction are our primary considerations.
TENANT
SELECTION:
Tenants are screened by checking employment, previous landlord, personal
references, and any other credit checks as necessary. Lea Real Estate
believes your property deserves such thoroughness.
TENANCY AGREEMENT:
Should a prospective tenant pass the various checks, he or she is
signed on a Tenancy Agreement for a period for six months or as we
are directed by you. This Tenancy Agreement is binding and a copy
retained here for your files if needed.
REGULAR PROPERTY INSPECTION:
While managing your property we regularly inspect the premises to
ensure that they are clean and tidy and being maintained in the terms
of the Tenancy Agreement. In fact, we actually drive past most of
the properties we manage each week! Should there be any infringement,
a letter or personal call to the tenant results.
BOND: A bond is taken at the commencement of the tenancy and held
by the Rental Bond Board. It is not returned to the tenant until we
have done a post-tenancy check on the condition of the property and
compared it with our written Property Condition Report completed prior
to the tenant entering the premises. Any damage or rent owing is paid
for out of the bond. We are the only office offering pre- and post
tenancy photographs in this area.
MAINTENANCE:
We advise you at what stage your property should be upgraded and obtain
competitive quotes for any work involved which must be carried out
under our strict supervision. We will always attempt to contact you
in the event of any repair being needed on your property.
RELIEVING YOU OF WORRIES: Lea Real Estate ensures that both tenants
and owners understand their responsibilities and looks after the details
on the owners behalf systematically and professionally.
RENT COLLECTION: We at Lea Real Estate ensure that rent is collected
systematically and regularly. If not, we issue a Termination Notice.
RENT
REVIEWS: At the end of each tenancy period, the rent is reviewed.
Except in special circumstances, the rent should increase by not less
than the Inflation Rate in the previous six months. This of course,
may be affected by supply and demand.
INSURANCE: You should ensure that your property is fully covered by
a comprehensive insurance policy which includes breakage of glass.
STATEMENTS AND PAYMENT TO OWNERS: Lea Real Estate accounts for all
monies collected on a statement which is sent to you monthly. Your
rent money is transferred direct to your bank account so that you
have immediate access to your rent money without having to wait for
cheques to be cleared. As we are acting for you , an Authority Form
is required by State Law to be signed by you so that we each know
our responsibilities.
PEACE OF MIND: Much of the foregoing deals with problems which may
occur. However, these are the exception rather than the rule. The
fewer hassles the are, the easier the job. We are as anxious as you
to ensure a trouble free tenancy. That is why we carefully select
our tenants. Many have been our tenants before and move up or down
to larger or smaller premises, hence we already know them. Even though
the most stringent preliminary checks may disbar many prospective
tenants, it is rare for a property to remain on the market for very
long. We at Lea Real Estate will always do our utmost to give you
professional service and advice. We are available for consultation
seven days a week. We give you our after hours number for any problems
you may have. You can be secure in the knowledge that while your property
is being skillfully managed, we are acting on your behalf in your
best interests.
