Applications are assessed using relevant information available through the leasing process, with attention to suitability for the tenancy and the landlord's instructions. We discuss the available information with the landlord before a tenancy decision is made.
We receive and assess maintenance requests, communicate with the landlord, coordinate suitable trades where authorised and follow up the work. Urgent matters are handled according to the tenancy circumstances and applicable NSW requirements.
