In a recent case, a property owner took the initiative of using their keys to enter and inspect a property that a renter had vacated without consulting the managing agent.
The owner thought nothing of it, as the renter had left the property. The owner began cleaning the property and attended to some minor repairs.
The owner then contacted the property manager, stating they wanted the cleaning and repair costs deducted from the bond.
The property manager was placed in a difficult situation. They had to explain to the owner that the final inspection had not been completed and that their actions could jeopardise the bond claim.
Please be aware that if you need to access your rental property at any time, you must contact our agency so that we can ensure the entry is managed correctly.
A quick courtesy call to our agency can help prevent any disputes regarding the management of your property.
