Once all documentation (including references etc) is checked, our Property Management staff will contact you within 24-48 (business) hours to advise of ‘outcome’. All ‘final’ decisions on ‘suitability’ for tenancy is left up to the owner of the property (landlord) for final decision. If your application has been approved, then you will be asked to pay one (1) week’s ‘holding deposit’ to secure the property.
An appointment will then be made for you to sign all Tenancy documentation. At this time, you will need to pay another week’s rent and four weeks bond. Then the ‘QLD General Tenancy Agreement’ and other accompanying documentation can be signed.
You cannot be given the keys to the premises until this process takes place, rent has been paid and documents signed.
