Tenancy
Guidelines
Paying Your Rent and Other
Bills
You have to
pay the rent on time according to the date given on your
rental agreement. If you are late in paying your rent, you may have to
pay addition late
rent fees according to the terms in your rental contract.
You
are generally responsible for paying any electrical, water, sewerage,
telephone, television and waste disposal bills unless it is stated in
the rental agreement that your landlord will pay for it.
Property Repairs and
Maintenance
As
a tenant, you are responsible for making sure that the rental property
is clean, tidy and well maintained. If you or your visitors cause
damage
to the property due to neglect abuse, you will be responsible for any
repairs and the bills that come with it.
You are also not
allowed to make any renovations or additions to the property without
your landlord's permission. For example, you cannot drill holes in the
wall or repaint the room unless you obtain your landlord's permission
first.
As your landlord may need to enter the rental property
urgently in case of any emergency repairs such as a burst water pipe,
you are not allowed to change the locks or security systems without
obtaining permission.
When to Contact
Your Landlord
If you are
not
able to pay your rents on the due date, you should inform your landlord
in advance and try to make other payment arrangements.
When there
are any
major breakdowns or damages to the rental property, you should inform
your landlord as soon as possible so that he has enough time
for repairs and maintenance.
If
you have any occupants who are staying over the rental property for a
short period of time, you should let your landlord know in advance.
How
to End
Your Lease Agreement
If
you wish to end your week to week or month to month rental, you should
give your landlord a written notice at least 30 days in advance so that
he has enough time to find a new tenants.
If you are in a
fixed term tenancy and the lease period is not up, you can only end the
rental agreement if your landlord agrees to it.
