Application Process and Screening of Tenants

All prospective tenants will be asked to fill in a comprehensive application form. N Hodge & Company’s experienced letting agents ensure that all tenant applicants are rigorously screened with credit and reference checks. We are registered with TPN (Tenant Profile Network). Only applicants that have a “clear “ credit record will be forwarded to the Landlord for approval. The decision is always that of the Landlord.

Signing a Lease

A legal lease agreement is drawn up to protect the landlord and tenant by clearly defining the approach for handling rental payments and collections, rental increases, deposits, maintenance issues and damages claims . Experienced letting agents ensure that all lease terms and details are well understood and handle the lease signing administration. If applicable a copy of the Body Corporate or Home Owners Association rules will be given to the new tenant on signature of the lease.

Deposits

Deposits are necessary to protect the landlord’s investment and as a security to cover any damages or default during the lease term. Deposits are invested in an interest bearing account for the benefit of the tenant.

Inspections

Inspections of the rented properties are conducted pre- and post- occupation. The tenant has 10 day to supply N Hodge and Company with a fault list to be placed on file or attended to depending on the nature of the fault / defect.

Repairs and Maintenance

Our rental agents manage the maintenance needs of residential rental properties by arranging any plumbing, electrical, painting, cleaning or other repairs within the parameters of the mandate signed with the property owner.

Rent Collection

Rent is collected at the beginning of the month in advance, in terms of the lease agreement. Net rental income is electronically transferred to a landlord’s nominated bank account(s) as soon as practically possible following the collection of rental.
