To take some of the pressure off persons or families that may be thinking of moving into a rental property, there are some substantial rules set out by the Residential Tenancies Authority, to help people understand what is expected of them when living in and caring for a rental property. Everyone wants to be able to settle down into a routine once moved in without unexpected dramas. These guidelines are set to assist people to live peacefully in their rental accommodation for the length of their tenancy agreement. So just what are your rights and responsibilities, and what can you expect during your stay in your rental home? Brisbane property managers can help to ensure you know all the ins and outs of renting. Firstly you have the right to be provided with premises that are fit to live in. This means that the house should be clean and in good repair. The property should also have reasonable security, by way of working locks and keys in good order. During your stay, the landlord should not interfere in any way with your use of the property, your peace or privacy. If the landlord, or lessor, wish to enter the property for the purpose of inspection or repairs, they will need to notify you in writing. As tenants of the property you have the responsibility of abiding by your lease agreement. This can vary, so make sure you are clear on your agreement. Your property management Brisbane agent can help with this. Usually it contains basic responsibilities such as paying your rent on time, maintaining the property and reporting any problems or damage promptly. You are also agreeing to use the premises for legal purposes and respect the rights of your neighbours by not causing or permitting a nuisance or infringing upon their privacy. Should you wish to make any changes that are not included on your lease agreement, such as getting a pet, or taking in a boarder it is essential that you seek approval from the landlord or lessor. When landlord or lessor and tenants are aware of their rights and responsibilities, it can go a long way towards having a mutually respectful relationship. All property owners want to ensure their investments are taken care of and usually go to any necessary lengths to keep good tenants in their properties. Most tenants don’t want to be moving every six months or so and are therefore usually careful to meet their responsibilities to ensure lengthier tenancy. When all parties work together, home sweet home can be just that! http://www.positionone.com.au
