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 with fair wear and tear taken into consideration. This is the last inspection carried out as soon as possible after the end of a tenancy, when the tenants have returned their keys. The Property 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. It is at this inspection that any items that need to be rectified by the tenant are identified.
What is a property condition report?
Routine inspections are conducted after a tenant takes possession of the property with the initial inspection taking place in the first 6 - 8 weeks of tenancy. These inspections are essential through out the tenancy, 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 and should it be necessary, a member of the Dalton Partners Property Management Team will contact you to discuss items noted on the report.
What is a Routine Inspection?
When a tenant falls behind in their rental payments they are issued with a notice of breach advising them that they are behind and requesting that they rectify the problem. If this is not done within the stipulated time period then a termination notice is issued requiring that they vacate the premises.
At Dalton Partners we pride ourselves in our careful tenant qualification and screening process. Applications are approved ONLY on the grounds that we are confiden that the rent will be paid on time. However a minority of tenants will still get behind in their rent, despite all our tenant screening procedures.
All our tenants are advised at the signing of their lease that we have a Zero Tolerance Policy for late rent payments and that the following procedure will occurr should they fall behind.
3 Days Late - We will phone or SMS the tenant
5-7 Days Late - We will phone,SMS and / or send a letter to the tenant
7-12 Days Late - We will send letter and / or attend the property
15-16 Days Late - A Terminiation Notice is issued
What happens when a tenant stops paying rent?
Tenants have several options to pay their rent, leaving no excuse for late payments.
- By cheque or money order
- Internet Banking through their chosen financial institution
