Routine inspections are conducted after a tenant takes possession of the property and are conducted regularly by your Raine & Horne Property Manager. These inspections are essential to ensure that your property is being maintained to an acceptable standard and to identify any maintenance that may be required. A copy of the routine inspection report is forwarded to you after each inspection and should it be necessary, a member of the Raine & Horne team will contact you to discuss items noted on the report.
All potential tenants go through our selection process and must meet certain criteria. A tenant’s application for a property is based on previous rental history, employment/income and character references.
All applications we receive are only processed if the tenant has viewed the property or has had someone to view the property on their behalf. The final decision for approval is up to the landlord, however your Raine & Horne Property Manager will offer their opinion based on their previous experience.
That’s easy…. Just notify your Raine & Horne Property Manager and they will put you in touch with the sales department for a free, no obligation sales appraisal.
This is completely up to you. Should you want to be notified of all repairs first, just let your Raine & Horne Property Manager know. If you have a particular tradesperson you would like us to use, that’s fine too. For any large repairs, your property manager would be happy to arrange more than one quote for you.
It is important to note that should an emergency repair occur at the property after office hours, the tenant can arrange for an emergency repair to be carried out without the approval of agent or owner as per the lease agreement.
We want you to have peace of mind that when it comes to repairs, we ensure our preferred tradespeople are fully qualified and insured so your property is maintained to the highest standard.

More than 70% of Australians own a pet and many pet owners make great tenants. In Queensland, if a tenant wants to have a pet at a rental property, they must inform the property manager or owner when they apply. If you decide to allow pets, it's important to include the type and number of pets approved in the tenancy agreement. This helps set clear expectations and protects both you and the tenant. However different rules apply for working dogs, which refer to assistance dogs, guide dogs, hearing dogs, corrective services dogs or police dogs. A tenant may keep a working dog at the premises without the lessor’s approval.
