PART 1
SECURING THE RIGHT TENANT
Market Appraisal
We inspect your property, provide you with a well informed “rental market appraisal” and recommend any property improvements.
Comprehensive Advertising
Our comprehensive advertising reaches a maximum number of prospective tenants. We understand that a vacant property is not producing any income for our owners. Our aim is always to find a suitable tenant as quickly as possible.
- realestate.com.au
- domain.com.au
- property.com.au
- taylorsrealestate.com
- Full colour displays in our window
- Advertisements on our rentals list, also with full colour photos
- In the local paper with a full colour photo
- A "For Lease" sign is displayed at the property
- We also do a letterbox drop to the surrounding neighbours, letting them know that we are the managing agents and to contact us should any matter arise concerning that property
Supervised Inspections
We always accompany prospective tenants through properties, we do not hand out keys for prospective tenants to view properties on their own.
Stringent Tenant Selection
All tenants must supply us with photo identification. We thoroughly screen all tenant applications, including:
- Checking references;
- We subscribe to a national tenant’s reference database;
- Verifying their employment or financial position;
- Checking their rental history;
- Any other checks that may be relevant.
Tenants are always selected in consultation with you as the owner.
Legal Documentation
We comprehensively complete all the required documentation including:
- Lease agreements;
- Conditional Reports;
- Bond lodgement documents;
The bond is lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority.
An obligations booklet is given to the tenant explaining their responsibilities.
Water Usage
We notify the relevant water company that the tenant is responsible for the payment of the water usage and to send all accounts direct to them.
Utilities
We supply the tenant with the details of a utility company that can have all their utilities transferred into their name with one simple phone call.
Rental Payments
To minimise rent arrears we adopt a direct debit system. We directly debit the tenants nominated account each month for the full months rent on the due date. This gives the owner greater assurance that the full rental amount is paid by the due date. This method also makes it very convenient for the tenant.
Building Relationships
We believe in building a professional and respectful relationship with our tenants, this goes a long way in having a hassle free tenancy for the tenant and ultimately the owner.
PART 2
ONGOING MANAGEMENT
Inspections
Routine inspections are important to ensure that the tenant is fulfilling their obligations and maintaining your property. We conduct regular inspections and keep you well informed. If the tenant is required to rectify any maintenance issue, we promptly serve the appropriate notice and re-inspect the property to ensure that the matter has been satisfactorily attended to.
Maintenance
We promptly notify you of any required maintenance. We employ a reliable maintenance team that can quickly and cost effectively, attend to any maintenance matter for you. In the unlikely event of an emergency situation, you can rest assured that we will contact you as quickly as possible and always act with your best interest in mind.
Lease Renewals
We organise all lease renewals, with recommended rent reviews and increases, to ensure your income is maximised.
Tenant Vacating
When the tenant gives us notice of their intention to vacate, we immediately notify you and commence advertising for a new tenant, always aiming to have the property reoccupied as quickly as possible with a suitable tenant.
Exit Report
When tenants vacate, we conduct a thorough exit report. We quickly notify the tenant of any matter that needs attending to. If required we organise the relevant bond deduction and/or transfer of bond to the tenant.
VCAT
If any matter ever has to go to VCAT, we handle all aspects of that process and always keep you well informed.
PART 3
SIMPLIFYING YOUR ACCOUNTS
Computerised Accounting
We operate a computerised property management system, which accurately accounts to our owners. Our accounts are independently audited, as required by law
Outgoings
If you wish, we can have all notices forwarded to us for payment from the rent monies and the notices kept in your file for safekeeping, such as Maintenance; Council Rates; Water Rates; Landlords Insurance.
Funds Transferred Quickly
We transfer the rent money to you quickly. Once the rent received from the tenant is cleared, within a maximum of 7 days your money is transferred into your nominated account.
Electronic Transfers
We transfer your payments quickly and easily by electronic transfer into your nominated bank account.
Rental Statements
You can choose to receive your rental statements by post; e-mail; or both. Also if you have more than one property you can receive a separate statement for each property.
Financial Year Statement
Each year we send you an “end of year” financial statement, showing all income and expenses for your property. Again if you have more than one property you can receive a separate statement for each property.
