Pools at rental properties
Does any one have a pool maintainance clause for a tenancy agreement they could share please ?

wish granted

Freeman on 15/10/12
Operations Apmasphere Sydney NSW

Hi irisproperty,

Depending on what the pool arrangement is with that particular agreement here are 2 options that you could use as a clause:

1. Pool/spa amenities maintenance: Tenants agree to maintain the swimming pool/spa where fitted to a professional standard at all times. The tenants agree to contact a professional pool shop to ensure they understan how to maintain the pool/spa and equipment correctly. When vacating the property, an inspection report from a reputable pool shop must be provided at the tenants expence stating that the water is in a healthy condition and the equipment is in good working order. The tenants must not drain/alter or remove a pool/spa or cause any inappropriate use of the pool/spa which may cause damage. It is the responsibility of the tenant to ensure secure and functioning pool fenceing/gates are maintianined and advise the agency of any repairs required immediately.

2. Pool/spa Cleaning: The Landlord is reponsible for the cleaning of the pool/spa. The pool/spa will be cleaned on a ........ (time) basis by the ............(name of pool cleaner) company or another service provider by the agency. The tenant agree's to allow ongoing access to the premise for this to occur. The tenant is (or is NOT) liable for the cost of pool chemicals used in the pool.

I have found a reasonably reasonable app for Android called "Rent Protector".

Its a bit fiddly but does the job and has provision to put your company logo onthe front page of the PDF. You can email from the phone.

My main issue with it is that it is aimed more as an ingoing inspection so i am customising the questions to speed things up and be relevant to routine inspections.

Double thumbs down - you have to pay for it.

I have now been using this successfully and theyhave added a function for routine inspections.

You can take pictures, add comments and pdf it and email from your phone.

sounds great and I just wanted to ask a few things for the current model on the Iphone with the routine app.

How come the grammar isn't auto correct and when you try to do a full stop and return to the next line it overwrites what you did? I personally think the app is great but still needs tweaking because I spent more time doing the tweaking than using my own programme. Also I think it would look better to have the photos with the (image jpg1) to be located next to the photo or for the photo to have the same time i,e Bathroom - Bedroom. Just food for thought :-) It is a little bit over the place wthe text in the middle and the photos on the far left hand side.

Letter To Tenant regarding Maintenance
I wish there was a letter to send with an invoice advising them that they are responsible for a repair or bill that has come to the office, and to please remit the amount with their next rent payment.

wish granted

http://www.apmasphere.com/documents/281

	DMRealty on 16/10/10 Principal DM Realty-- www.dmrealty.com.au Pimlico Townsville QLD
I find it interesting that you state that you have situations where the tenant has to pay for and invoice for repairs as such. When a matter arises we generally seek quotes first and then give the tenant the option to use our tradesperson or they can seek their own as long as the matter is dealt with in a tradelike manner to our standard. We go back check the work completed particlarly if they have used their own tradespeople. Do you do this as well or do you arrange the work without the involement of the tenant without them knowing how much the work is going to cost? If the tenants choose to use our tradespeople we generally try to get the tenants to pay for the amount quoted before actually getting the work done. At times if the amount is a bit high we get the tenants to pay it off before getting the work done Eg we had to get the carpet replaced in a near new bedroom as the tenants had burnt the carpet with a hot iron By having the money already in the trust account before the invoice comes in avoids issues when its due to be paid.

	jmarg88 on 23/10/10 Property Manager Ray White Pomona Pomona Queensland
In most cases when we are incurring a cost to the tenant it will be negotiated and agreed with by them before hand to prevent any issues. On two cases where I have been caught out it has been a tenant that has damaged an item that related to the security of the property which led to a sliding glass door panel needing replacing, and the same with a glass panel in the front of a timber door. It was an after hours call out and the tenant had advised that they could not locate anyone to do the work for them, as I could not leave my tenant in a property they could not secure I booked the work, however asked the trades person to make the invoice to the tenant C/ our agency. Unfortunately the trades people still add this onto our account, so had to send letters to the tenant to organise payment plan either via our agency or direct with tradesperson. Other than that as above all items resulting in tenant expense have been arranged prior to the invoice being received.

Hi Jodie - this is not something we can do as it would contravene tenancy legislation. We can only create letters in accordance with the legislation and currently legislation does not state that an agent can refuse a cash payment. We accept some offices opt for a no cash option but this is an individual business choice.

Jodie-Lester on 27/10/10
Senior Property Manager Sam Pennisi Real Estate Essendon Victoria

Something we used unfortuantely you cannot refuse cash

Dear xxx

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR YOUR PAYMENT OF RENT

Due to an audit of our internal policies and procedures, we wish to advise that we have identified that your recent rental payments have been made in cash.

Unfortunately, due to the high risks associated with holding cash on the premises, we ask that you utilise another payment option.

The options are:

1. Bank Cheque/Money Order or Personal Cheque

2. RentPay – Gives tenants the option of paying via the Internet, BPAY, Australia Post outlets or an automatic or manually generated Direct Debit from your account (fees apply)

3 xxx Direct Debit.

We would appreciate your co operation in this matter, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

	Michael_Kilroy on 27/10/10 Senior Property Manager Chevron First National Gold Coast Queensland
We always put "any branch of the Commonwealth Bank" on our leases at Item 10: place of rent payment. We do accept cash, cheque or money order, just not at the office. Anyone paying cash at the office would be in breach of their tenancy agreement by not paying at the place of rent payment nominated on the agreement.

Hi Jodie... we have just worked out a system after attending a Bob Walters seminar. We have minimum standards of business to be referred (e.g. full fees, no discounts and must be $300pw or above) and all refers whether they be sales, trades people, internal staff etc get a flat $400 fee. This way it means staff don't discount to get their bonus, all clients whether its a 2 bedroom flat or $2000pw property get the same fee. Has worked well so far.

Hi Jodie

We have a referral system in place (that I wish was 2 way but isn't [YET]). Any of our staff (including Property Management) can refer a new management to me and then once we have the management AND it's leased, they get $100 bonus. We just have a form for Referral and a form for the Claim of the bonus. Seems to work quite well and has hugely improved our retention rate of managements that are up for sale.

Now all we need is a referral system for when we refer a sale listing! :)

Hi Rebecca, the tenant vacating letter appears in the library

This seems to cover off on what you have requested but you can "Propose Changes" on the left hand side of the document if there is anything you would like added.

Alternatively, let us know what documents in addition to this you would like to see and we'll get to work.

Sorry I wasnt aware that the description tab was more than one line! I was looking for an introduction letter to use when you buy a rent roll and send letters out to new onwers advising of the changeover . If anyone has bought a rent roll it would be appreciated if you ccould let me know what worked best for you. Thanks Jodie

The Novemember Espresso is nearly ready so that like to October Espresso we can release prior to end of month, giving you enough time to customise and include with your statements.
