Tenants Obligations

Tenants should understand their responsibilities in relation to the property they are renting as it might impact their bond.

Tenant Responsibilities During the Tenancy

At Active Property Management, we strive to create a seamless tenancy experience built on clarity, compliance, and mutual respect. As a tenant, you are responsible for:

  • Adhering to all conditions outlined in your Tenancy Agreement.
  • Using the property solely for residential purposes.
  • Making rent payments on time, directly into Active Property Management’s bank account.
  • Reporting any property damage promptly.
  • Covering the cost of repairs for any tenant-caused damage.
  • Providing reasonable access to the property for inspections and maintenance.
  • Maintaining the property and gardens to a reasonable standard of cleanliness.
  • Replacing smoke alarm batteries every six months unless a unit with a 10-year battery is installed.
  • Notifying Active Property Management immediately of any smoke alarm issues.
  • Meeting the requirements outlined in the Vacating Guidelines at the end of the tenancy.

Tenant Responsibilities – Avoiding Property Damage and Misuse

When signing a tenancy agreement with Active Property Management, tenants agree to uphold the integrity of the property. To ensure compliance and avoid liability for repair costs, tenants must not:

  • Make alterations to the property without prior written approval from the homeowner.
  • Cause or allow others to cause damage to the property.
  • Apply stickers or decals to walls.
  • Remove, disconnect, or damage any fixtures or chattels.
  • Tamper with, damage, or remove smoke alarms.
  • Deny entry to Active Property Management when legally entitled to access the property.
  • Engage in or permit unlawful activities on the premises.
  • Disrupt neighbours with excessive noise—local council guidelines must be followed.
  • Sublet any part of the property without permission.

By following these guidelines, tenants help maintain a safe and well-kept rental environment while ensuring a positive tenancy experience for everyone involved. For further information, please contact Active Property Management.
