  • A gas leak
  • A dangerous electrical fault
  • Flooding or serious flood damage

Emergency Repair Procedures

In an emergency (as outlined in the list above), a nominated repairer can be contacted directly if the property manager is unavailable.

You will find a nominated repairer listed on your tenancy agreement. Please also email your property manager or Rental Reception with a description of the emergency and details of the type of repair and tradesperson engaged to carry out the repair.

Please note that notifying the Property Manager in writing is a requirement of the RTA.

If the property manager or the nominated repairer cannot be contacted, you can arrange a suitably qualified person to carry out the repair.

Easy To Work With

Russell was an outstanding agent. He was professional, honest, easy to work with, and incredibly helpful both before and after we bought our house.

Russell has great knowledge of the area and was able to provide us with very useful information that helped up make our decision to buy. I would have no hesitation recommending Russell; if we ever sell we will definitely be using him.
