We believe a successful tenancy is a team effort, and there are plenty of things you can do to ensure your stay is smooth and enjoyable. Here are some tips:
Before You Sign:
Read Carefully:Â Make sure you understand all the conditions of the contract. If there's anything unclear or you disagree with, talk to us before signing.
During Your Tenancy:
Pay Your Rent on Time:Â We understand that sometimes things come up. If you're going to have a problem paying your rent, let us know as soon as possible. Communication can help us be more understanding and flexible.
Respect the Property:Â Treat your rental home as if it were your own. Keep it clean and tidy, especially the exterior. Report any issues to us immediately, even if you caused them.
Communication is Key:
Stay in Touch: Many problems can be avoided with good communication. If, for example, you’re always a few days late with rent because of when you get paid, just let us know. Keep a record of your communications via text, email, or letter for future reference.
Be a Good Neighbour:
Get to Know Your Neighbours:Â If you're planning a party, give your neighbours a heads-up about the noise. Better yet, invite them! Building a good relationship with your neighbours can make your stay more pleasant.
Being a good tenant is really about being a good person. Treat others how you'd like to be treated, and everything will go smoothly.
