A residential tenancy agreement is a legal contract between a tenant and a landlord or agent. The agreement outlines the amount of rent to be paid, payment frequency, the duration of the tenancy, the amount of money required as refundable security bond, as well as other conditions and rules. It is a legally binding contract so it is important that you spend time reviewing the agreement before you sign it.

If you are a current Raine&Horne Bundaberg tenant and have not had a pet approved at your property, you must submit your request in writing to your Property Manager. You will need to advise what type of pet, breed, age and other relevant information prior to obtaining the pet. Your property manager will then need to obtain permission from the landlord. For a new rental application seeking to have a pet onsite, permission from the landlord will also need to be obtained and forms part of the application process.

If you are going to be late with your payment please contact your Raine&Horne Bundaberg Property Manager immediately. We understand the unexpected does occur, communicating ahead of time with your property manager will give them more ability to assist you if this does occur. If you have not paid the full rent amount due on a particular day as agreed under the terms of the tenancy agreement, and that amount has remained unpaid for a period of 14 days or more ( may vary dependant on which state or territory you reside in ) you may be issued with a termination notice. Repeated late payment may affect your rental history.

Also, if you change any of the locks in the premises, it is your responsibility to provide a copy to the agent and also return these keys when vacating the property.
