If an emergency repair is required, the tenant should make every effort to contact the emergency contact listed on the tenancy agreement as soon as they become aware of the issue.
Where possible, the repairs should be made by the nominated repairer listed on the tenancy agreement. If the tenant is unable to contact the emergency repair contact within a reasonable timeframe, or is not available to make the repairs, the tenant or property manager can arrange for another suitably qualified tradesperson to make the repairs up to a maximum value of four weeks’ rent
The tradesperson may seek payment when they arrive for the service call. If the tenant pays for repairs, they must request reimbursement from the property manager/owner in writing. The tenant needs to provide all receipts to the property owner/manager and give them a minimum of seven days to reimburse the money.
Please note that if a trade is called for after-hours maintenance that is not deemed an emergency, the cost of the after-hours service will be charged to the tenant. Additionally, any maintenance required due to tenant-related issues will also be the financial responsibility of the tenant.
