What is an Entry Condition Report?

This is a report that is compiled at the commencement of a tenancy prior to your tenant moving into the property. This report outlines the condition of the property at the commencement of the tenancy and is used when the tenant vacates to ensure that the property is left in the same condition.

The Entry Condition Report is used at this inspection and each item is checked off to make certain that the property is in the same condition as when the tenant took possession.

The bond on the premises is not refunded until the property is back to its original condition (apart from fair wear and tear) this includes yard, cleanliness of property, and any damages that may have been caused.

What is a Routine Inspection?

Routine inspections are conducted after a tenant takes possession of the property and are conducted every three months.

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.

For repairs that are more urgent and needs to be attended to, a member of the GL Real Estate Property Management Team will contact you to discuss quotes and or repair.

What happens when a tenant stops paying rent?

Every day a tenant is in arrears they get a phone call to follow up payment of rent.

Apart from the phone calls, if the tenant falls four days in arrears on their rent a letter is sent as a reminder to pay their rent.

If they fall eight days in arrears a Form 11 remedy breach is sent giving them seven clear days to rectify the arrears.

On the expiry of the Form 11 remedy breach a decision can be made with the owners approval to send a Form 12 notice to leave the next day and the tenants will be given seven clear days notice to vacate the premises.
