Renting Advice
Tips for Tenants in today's rental market
Given the shortage of rental properties on the market together with the number of tenant's applying (the average days that Marquette Turner's properties have been on the market is 2!) here's a handy tip for tenants seeking new homes:
We recommend going beyond simply filling in an application form. Compile a small folder of references, copies of documents such as passports, your resume and include an introductory letter. This will put you steps ahead of everyone else.

Bond
Your Bond will be lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA). In general, the bond is equal to one months rent. The bond is held as security against any damage or undue wear and tear. The bond will be refunded promptly after you vacate, provided the property is left in as close as possible the same condition as when the Tenancy Agreement commenced and there are no monies owing.

Please sign the front page and return the original copy to our office within seven working days of receiving the report, retaining the carbon copy for your records.

Repairs
All repairs are attended to as promptly as possible, however, it is often necessary to obtain the landlords approval and/or quotes before any work can commence, so unfortunately a time lag is sometimes unavoidable. Please be assured that we will always attempt to resolve repairs as quickly as possible to a standard that is acceptable to all parties.
Under the Residential Tenancies Act, we advise that the following can be considered Emergency Repairs:
* BURST WATER SERVICE
* GAS LEAK
* BROKEN OR BLOCKED TOILET
* SERIOUS ROOF LEAK
* DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL FAULT
* FLOODING OR FLOOD DAMAGE
* FAILURE OR BREAKDOWN OF THE GAS
* SERIOUS STORM OR FIRE DAMAGE
* ELECTRICITY OR WATER SUPPLY
If an emergency situation arises, and you are unable to contact Marquette Turner, please refer to your lease for emergency contact details.
