How do you handle maintenance requests?
We’re here to help. While we are very proactive in handling maintenance, we do need you to log all items with us in writing and we make it as easy as possible for you to do this. At sign up you will be provided with access to our maintenance app so you can report maintenance issues right from your smart phone or alternately via our web link or email.

Who handles problems after hours?
We’re generally available on call and will attend to emergencies, however as per Queensland legislation – where emergency repairs are required our tenants are authorised to make contact with trade contractors direct if required. Tenants – please note that if the call out is found to not be an emergency situation you may be liable for the cost. The RTA defines a specific list of what can be regarded as an emergency
How often will you inspect the property and what do you look for?
We will conduct a routine inspection at the property approximately every 3 – 4 months. The main purpose is to provide a report to the owner that you are maintaining the property well and also to check for any repairs or maintenance that is needed.
The inspection involves taking photos of the property in order to report to our owners. We avoid taking photos of tenant possessions.
See our Routine Inspection Guide under Helpful Info to find out what we look for.
