Routine Inspections and Photos
We will conduct a routine at the property after the first 6 weeks of occupation and thereafter 3 more within a 1 year period. After the first year, you can expect 3 – 4 routine inspections annually. The main purpose is to provide a report to the owner that you are maintaining the property, and also to check for any repairs and make any recommendations to the owner. Please see a detailed list of what we look out for below.
Photos – also note that the inspection may also involve taking photos of any repairs required, and a photo of the grounds front and back.

Rent Reviews
Rent reviews occur at lease renewal time and are adjusted in accordance with market conditions. Please also note that a rent review may occur during a 12 month fixed term lease, as long as this is indicated with a clause in the tenancy agreement terms and conditions.
Lease Renewals
Provided that your rent has been paid on time, and the property has been kept clean and undamaged, the grounds well maintained and the landlord is happy to continue your tenancy, you can expect to receive an invitation of renewal. Once your invitation is received, it is important that you let us know whether you accept the renewal invitation or you wish to vacate. We need this advice in writing from you as soon as possible.
Landlord Mail and Contact
Should you receive any mail addressed in their name (the landlord name is on your tenancy agreement) please forward this mail to us as soon as possible. It is important also to know that under no circumstances can the landlord be contacted directly. As the duly appointed agent the landlord can only be contacted through us. We are employed as the acting landlord of the property.
Please email us on rentals@prohenderson.com.au should you have any queries to bring to the landlord’s attention.
