Renters Insurance
We strongly recommend that you take appropriate insurance for your contents during your tenancy, to provide cover for your possessions in the event of theft, damage by fire, explosion and/or storm. The rental provider does not provide insurance for your contents. Affordable premiums are available for contents cover – refer to our resources page for further information or click here.
Regular inspections
As a service to our rental providers and renters, we regularly inspect every property managed by our company and report to the rental provider on the manner in which their property is being maintained and any other relevant matters. The first inspection is conducted after the first three months of your rental agreement, then every six months thereafter. We encourage you to be home for this inspection, however if you prefer, we are also happy to use our spare key for the property should you choose not to be present.
Non urgent repairs
When renting with Precise Property Management, we encourage you to advise our office of any general repairs and maintenance required at the property. This will help our office and your rental provider in providing a safe and secure property for your comfort and enjoyment. It is essential that we are notified of non-urgent repairs in writing. This allows us to have full details of the nature of the problem and to address it swiftly and accurately for you. Click here to report maintenance via our dedicated renting portal –Click Here

Sharing a property and co-tenancy
In a co-tenancy arrangement, every renter signs the rental agreement and all names appear on the bond lodgement with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority. In a co-tenancy, any one individual can be held responsible for the actions of all the renters, for example, if the rent is late or a breach of the tenancy occurs.
If a new renter wishes to move in under the existing rental agreement, you must seek written permission from the rental provider – we can help you with this. Once permission is obtained, a renter transfer form must be completed and signed by all parties to the tenancy, then lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority to advise of the change of tenancy.
Changing the locks
If you wish to change the locks at your own expense, please provide our office with a key as soon as possible, as required by legislation. We can help you with recommending a local, reputable locksmith.
