All forms and checklists for a tenancy can be uploaded onto the RealRenta platform to form part of the tenancy file.
Here is your checklist:
· Check the notice period in your state that is
required to terminate a tenancy, according to the type of agreement that you
have with your tenant and on what grounds you are seeking to terminate
· Check in what form the notice should be
delivered (in some states you may have to use a designated Notice to Vacate to
Tenant/s of Rented Premises form) and make sure it is signed and dated, with
the actual date on which the tenant is requested to move out of the premises
· Make sure all breaches (if any) or reasons for
ending the agreement are stated when given to the tenant
· Make sure all copies of keys are handed back
· Ensure rental bonds are dealt with properly.
Following final inspection of the property, the correct forms should be
completed by landlord and tenant with copies for each. Again, check with your
state authorities on the correct procedure concerning rental bonds
· Keep a ‘condition report’ in case of any
disputes
· Comply with the state Residential Tenancies Act
(RTA) regarding the tenant/s’ belongings and personal documents
· Prior to entering into any agreements, try and
avoid breaches of contract by the tenant by doing as many background checks as
the privacy acts allow, including getting full references
