'Reasonably clean' and understanding the gap!

We came across this great article recently and thought it was worth sharing. It helps to explain different levels of clean when renting a property and recommendations for owners over time to ensure their property is in the best condition as possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When it comes to a property being presented to a new tenant, or a tenant vacating a property it is a legislative requirement the property be ‘reasonably clean’.

So what is ‘reasonable’? This term can be hard to define but can be seen as what a reasonable person would agree as being generally clean. We do find the members who oversee tribunal hearings have differing opinions when presented with a cleaning dispute and dare we also say differing moods, so there can be varying degrees of what ‘reasonable’ can be when trying to win a cleaning claim against a tenant.

However it is important to understand that there is a gap where sometimes money needs to be spent to bring a property back to a right standard. For example, if we are presented a ‘sterile clean’ property at the start of the first tenancy, and each tenancy has tenants leaving a property reasonably clean despite our best efforts to get it back to ‘sterile’, sometimes we need to spend the landlord’s money to get a property back to very high cleaning standard again, closing the gap between very clean and reasonably clean. We can push with a tenant the best we can however in some cases this isn’t possible.

We believe this is simply part of having to put money back into the property just like with repairs and maintenance and to ensure the property is kept in the highest standard possible to attract and retain the right tenant!

OWNER TESTIMONIAL

New to renting out our property, we had no idea where to start. Margaret dropped over, answered all our questions, explained benefits, pros and cons & elayed our fear. The most impressive quality my wife & I have experienced is the caring and friendly nature of DM Realty. Margaret's approach to us as a property manager and explaining how she treats her tenants impressed us immensly. We would have no hesitation in recommending her and DM Realty to our family & friends. A special thanks to her.

TENANT TESTIMONIAL
(PRIOR TO SIGNING A LEASE)

DM Realty is a Real Estate Agent that Cares for Tenants too!!!!

What a refreshing change!!! Yes, there are Real Estate Agents that do really care not only for an owner of a property but also for the tenant. Believe it or not! I have had to rent for a period of time in Townsville and I honestly say without a word of lie that it has been a harrowing experience. At times, I have needed to call in external resources to get things moving with the residence. The sheer frustration or writing emails, unpleasant phone contacts by some property managers has been overwhelming and nothing ever seemed to get done.

By sheer chance, came along my introduction to DM Realty. Right from the first phone call to Margaret I could not belive the friendliness and the helpfulness. I explained my situation and she automatically suggested meeting me out of hours to show to me and my daughter the unit. I was so taken back by this that I told her, "That this sort of service just does not exist anymore and how much we appreciate it".

We accepted the unit and had approval without any fuss or time delay. DM Realty kept me informed with every step of the way so I was not left wondering what the staus of the application was. My teenage daughter who had been with me searching for rental properties commented on the way DM Realty--They conducted themselves in such a manner that you feel right at home and they truly and sincerely with help you in any way they can. My daughter also stated "We should have gone to them straight away instead of wasting time all this time with other agents."

I believe this says it all. I am so happy and reassured with the real service that I have recived from DM Realty for the first time since I have started to rent. DM Realty--Thankyou for all your help and assistance. I will definitely spread the word. Your great!!

OWNER TESTIMONIAL

DM Realty has managed my property for 6 years. I am extremely pleased with the care that the friendly staff take when managing my property. They go beyond the call of duty in the service that they deliver. The staff at DM Realty take the time to listen to my needs and they suggest options to resolve matters as they arise. They Confidently share the most current changes that occur within the Real Estate industry. This gives me peace of mind that we're working as a team to achieve a positive outcome.

Rose Dec 2010

OWNER TESTIMONIAL

I have been with DM Realty for 4 years. The reason that they were picked was that the property manager does not have a phenomenal list of houses which they boast about. You know that your residence will receive equal care and attention as the next; and I find them both friendly and prompt with all tenant requests and inspections. They are very cooperative with all my minor inquires and requests. I have 2 properties on the books and would not hesitate to add more of my future portfolio to their list. I think that the out of hours and extra info supplied by the team second to none. Their service is friendly and personal. Highly recommend.

Dean Dec 2010

DM Realty New Facebook Community Page

Before, During & After Cycone Yasi we were posting lots of things to keep people informed about the cyclone on our DM Realty page. We received an overwhelming reponse to our posts that we decided that we wanted to continue and we also wanted to share other great things that are happening up north to try to build community spirit after this natural disaster. We didn't think that this page was really the appropriate place for doing that as we wanted to dedicate this page mainly to real estate matters so Townsville Nth QLD (The DM Realty Team) was developed for this purpose. We encourage everyone who is a fan of DM Realty or anyone who is interested in what is happening in North Qld to check this new community page out and become a member of it. We also encourage people to share things that they about that is happening in Nth QLD.

How Pool Owners Can Save $2000

As you are already New QLD Pool Safety Laws came into effect 1 December 2010. These new laws have and will continue to effect just about everyone whether you are a home owner, tenant, landlord, buyer or seller.

These new laws carry fines for non adherence to them.

This document has been created to remind the public that all pools & spas need to be registered with the Pool Safety Council by 4 May 2011. This register is basically just a list of all pools & spas in Queensland. The local councils have been supplying the Pool Safety Council with data from their records for some time now for registration of pools & spas.

It is the pool owners’ reponsiblity to check that their pool & spa is on the register by 4 May 2011. If it is not on the register then you need to register the pool & spa online or can contact the Pool Safety Council through one of the following:

Pool Safety Council

Telephone: 1800 340 634  Fax 0732371248
Email: PSC@dip.qld.gov.au
Postal address: GPO

Box 907 Brisbane, Queensland

4001


Extra Info on Pool Safety Register
(Sourced from
Department of Local Government and Planning)

Property search

The pool safety register has been developed under the new pool safety laws. The register is being populated with Local Governments' records of regulated pools across Queensland.
Pool owners should check the register after 1 March 2011 to ensure their pool has been registered. If your pool is not on the register after this date, you have until 4 May 2011 to register your pool. Penalties of up to $2,000 will apply after this time.
If the register shows that there is a current pool safety certificate for a property this can be relied on for any sale or lease of a regulated pool.
You can now begin a search for a property and view details of the most recent pool safety certificate if one has been issued for that property.
To Search a property    go to  http://tinyurl.com/4vzhasx

Register your pool or spa

All pools in Queensland need to be registered. Fines of up to $2,000 may apply if your pool is not registered by 4 May 2011. To check if your pool is registered, simply conduct a property search on the pool register tool.
Enter your property details. The register will validate the address entered and will advise if the pool is registered and if there is a valid pool safety certificate attached to the property.
If the register states no pools are recorded against this property, click on ‘alert the Pool Safety Council’ and enter the number of pools and spas located on the property.
To Register your pool go to  http://tinyurl.com/4uxm7wd
By using this method, your obligations to register your pool or spa will be satisfied even though the registration will not show up automatically on the pools register. The information emailed to the department will then be uploaded onto the database
