rental spot

Rent is to be paid in advance throughout the term of your tenancy, rental payments can be made either weekly, fortnightly or per calendar monthly (only upon your request). If you wish to pay per calendar month, please contact your property manager to confirm the exact payment amount and to alter the payment frequency on our system.

All rental payments are to be made to the Pure Leasing Central trust account, preferably via BPay if you require your unique BPay reference number or our trust account details, please email admin@pureleasing.com.au. It is your responsibility to ensure your rental payments can be identified, so if you do make a payment via electronic funds transfer (EFT) please ensure you enter your unique reference so that the funds can be identified correctly.

Alternative payment methods include bank cheque, personal cheque (please note that if you are paying via personal cheque, you must allow adequate time for the funds to be cleared), cash, or money order. If you are unable to make a rental payment, please contact your property manager as soon as possible, prior to the payment due date so that we can work towards a positive outcome. In this circumstance, communication with your property manager is critical and failure to communicate may result in a termination notice being issued.

As a tenant, unless stipulated otherwise, you are responsible to pay for the consumption component of all utilities along with any other optional services you choose to connect for example telephone/internet/cable TV.

You are welcome to be present for the inspection; however we will use office keys to gain access if required.

If the nominated inspection date is not suitable for you, please contact our office as soon as possible as we will be happy to negotiate an alternative date.

The owner(s) insurance does not cover your personal belongings, therefore we recommend you take out your own contents insurance to ensure your belongings are insured from any unforeseen circumstances.

It is important to remember that should your belongings be damaged through fault within the building, your contents will not be covered by the building policy.

This depends on the type of lease you have signed, if you wish to vacate the property whilst on a non-fixed term lease (‘periodic lease’), you are required to give not less than twenty-one (21) days notice in writing.

If you are on a “fixed term tenancy” you are required to provide not less than thirty (30) days notice in writing to vacate the property upon the expiry date of the lease agreement.
