Rooming Conditions – SMOKERS

  • A MINIMUM OF TWO WEEKS NOTICE is required upon leaving. If you provide shorter notice than two weeks, then the amount making up two weeks is deducted from your bond to allow for re-advertising.
  • INTERNET ACCESS is provided to all tenants, so please consider others when downloading. Access is provided for general surfing and access of information. Large downloads and video streaming affect other users so please keep these activities to a minimum and at an appropriate time. ALL tenants are limited to WIFI and not ethernet connections.
  • I acknowledge that I WILL NOT SMOKE IN THE HOUSE For the health and safety of all tenants:
    • Smoking is prohibited anywhere in the house.
    • If a smoker needs to see you personally, they must not be allowed to smoke in the house.
    • Cigarette butts must NOT be left in the yard, gardens, lawn or anywhere on the property. They go IN THE BIN.
  • If you are found to have been smoking in the house (Cigarettes or any other substance), you will be directed to leave, and the cost for full carpet shampoo and chemical cleaning of the air conditioner will be deducted from your bond at a MINIMUM. Following abovementioned cleaning, if smoke smells are still present, a full repaint will be charged against your bond. If you smoke, please DO NOT SMOKE IN THE HOUSE.
  • For the safety of all tenants, loss of keys will incur a fee to be deducted from the bond equal to the amount required to re- key the locks associated with those keys.
  • LOCKED KEYS: The landlords cannot provide any guarantee that they will be available to access rooms where the keys have been locked inside. If the property manager is not available, you may be required to contact a locksmith at your own cost.
  • I acknowledge that I am not bringing along any pets of any kind.
  • I acknowledge that I do not take drugs and will not have any form of illegal substance on the property.
  • Visitors must be kept to an absolute minimum to ensure privacy for all tenants. I understand that I rent a room, not the entire house, so will not be inviting people to stay without prior consultation.
  • All tenants pay for the use of the facilities and are entitled to privacy and living with the tenants approved by the landlords. Regular visitors or sleepovers encroach on other’s entitlements.
  • Bathrooms are not to be continually saturated with water. Bathmats are provided to soak up drips after showering etc…, and the practice of leaving the entire bathroom drenched is totally unnecessary and very bad for the house.
  • FAIR USE OF AIR CONDITIONING: All room air conditioners are individually metered and monitored for excessive use. Leaving air conditioners continually running whilst away for long periods and/or running air cons with windows and/or doors open is not sustainable at the rate of rent being paid and therefore considered a breach of fair use of facilities.
  • The property is fitted with interconnected smoke alarms as per legislation. These are extremely sensitive and will trigger when any flame or smoke is detected, this includes candles and incense, which must not be used in the house.
  • Tenants are reminded that removing batteries from a smoke alarm will leave you fully liable for any fire damage caused whilst the smoke alarm is not operating. If there are smoke alarm issues, please contact the Landlords.
  • Rooms are equipped with fully operational remote controls for TV and air con. Replacement batteries in these devices are the responsibility of the tenant and are expected to be fully operational upon vacating.
  • Tenants are asked to please refrain from removing the battery covers off remotes unless you are replacing the batteries. If you vacate the room and the remote-control battery cover is missing, you will be charged for the cost of replacing it.
  • To avoid overcrowding of driveway, tenants are limited to one vehicle. Storing unused vehicles, friends’ vehicles, or multiple vehicles in the yard or on the street is not permitted, and the garage is not to be used as a workshop.
  • Bond is four weeks rent. Full bond will be returned upon leaving the premises providing there is no damage and keys are returned.
  • In order to remain considerate of others property, we insist on tenants LOCKING the doors when leaving the property. Dummy locking gates and/or doors is NOT acceptable.
