seen a
property you like? |
|
Once
you have seen a property on our website or in the newspaper
you would like to rent you
will need to contact us to organise a viewing time.
If
you view the property and want to go further the next step
is to fill in one of our
Tenancy Application Form. You
will need to provide us with a form of ID and at least one
reliable reference; we will also carry our a credit check
on you. |

|

|
Congratulations! You now need to organise getting us
the bond money and first weeks rent as soon as possible.
We
will then discuss with you the date you will move in and when
your next rent payment will be due. We will give you an AP Form
so that you can set up an AP through your bank. |

happens now? |

Keys
You will need to pick up a set
of keys from Property Direct before moving day. A duplicate key to all properties is
also retained by us for emergency access. However it is recommended that
you organise a spare key should you accidentally lock yourself out, as
we charge a callout fee for opening doors for tenants who have locked
themselves out. |
|
Electricity, Gas and Telephone
The tenant is responsible for all charges relating to electricity, gas, telephone, and replacement light bulbs. It is each
tenants’ responsibility to have the appropriate account placed in their name(s) and then to arrange to have a meter reading
prior to moving in or vacating the premises. If a tenant does not contact the electricity company and/or gas company within two weeks
of the start of their tenancy the supply to the property may be disconnected and the tenant is liable for any re-connection fee.

what happens
with my bond? and what is it for? |
|
Once we receive your bond we
transfer it to the Bond Centre in Porirua. They will then send an
acknowledgement form to you confirming the bond amount held in your name.
The bond is held as a security against any damage or undue wear and tear
that may be caused to the property during a tenancy. When a
tenancy ends a final inspection will be conducted. If there is
any damage done to the property the cost of any repairs
will be deducted from the bond money.
Any outstanding rent due will also be deducted
before the remainder is transferred back to you. |

what do i do if something isn't working? |
|
It is not uncommon to move into a new
rental and find some items that don't work properly. If
you experience this please contact us and we will attend to
it as promptly as possible, however, it is often necessary to obtain the Landlord’s approval and/or quotes before any work can commence, so unfortunately a
delay is sometimes unavoidable. |
