If you are a current Raine & Horne tenant and have not had a pet approved at your property, you must request and complete a pet application and agreement form provided by your property manager. 
You will need to advise what type of pet, breed, age and other relevant information prior to obtaining the pet. 
Your property manager will then need to obtain permission from the landlord.

For a new rental application seeking to have a pet onsite, the pet must be noted on your application and permission from the landlord will also need to be obtained. This forms part of the application process.

If you are going to be late with your payment please contact your Property Manager immediately. 
We understand the unexpected does occur, communicating ahead of time with your property manager will give them more ability to assist you if this does occur. 

If you have not paid the full rent amount due on a particular day as agreed under the terms of the tenancy agreement, and that amount has remained unpaid for a period of 8 days or more you may be issued with a notice to remedy breach. Repeated late payment may affect your rental history and may also result in a termination of tenancy (this may vary on the state of the property).

Please consult with your property manager for more direct information relating to your tenancy.

If you lose the keys to your home or they are stolen, please let your Property Manager know immediately. 
Your Property Manager will make suitable arrangements for locks to be replaced using the office offices preferred Locksmith. You will be liable for the replacement costs.

The Property Manager will assess the condition of the property to ensure everything is in order and there are no safety issues at the property. 
It is also an ideal time for us to check on any maintenance repairs that may be required so if you have anything you would like to bring to our attention please advise the property manager during or before the inspection.

There are four easy steps to getting your full bond returned.

• Clean the premises or have it cleaned by a professional cleaner (at your expense) as per the cleaning list provided by your property manager.
• Make sure all keys, the exit condition report(completed) and the bond refund form provided by your property manager are returned to the office on the vacate date and no later.
