Rent is collected at the beginning of the month in terms of the lease agreement. Net rental income is electronically transferred to the landlord’s nominated bank account(s) as soon as practically possible. Payments can also be arranged on landlord’s behalf in regard to levies, insurance and many more.
It is imperative that you have a clear understanding of both your rights and responsibilities as a tenant and those of the landlord, all negotiations and special conditions agreed to during the offer stage are explicitly stated in the lease agreement.
After your offer to lease has been successfully negotiated, you will be required to pay a deposit and sign the standard lease agreement, the commercial broker will ensure the preparation off the lease and explain the lease document to you in detail. Please take the time to read the lease and understand all the provisions contained in the document. Important issues to focus on are maintenance, the charges which you are required to pay and the lease terms and escalation clauses. Your Lease agreement is legally binding and totally compliant with the Consumer Protection Act. It has been drawn up to protect both the landlord and yourself. The lease ensures that financial issues such as rental increases, deposit and damage claims are dealt with in a fair, transparent and professional manner. You will be given a copy of the signed lease agreement for your records and reference purposes.
When you take occupation of the premises the portfolio manager/maintenance inspector will carry out an inspection with you, an agreement will be reached on the liability involved in any repairs necessary depending on the negotiations and special conditions contained within the offer.
If the premises you choose is in a Sectional Title complex, it is important that you are aware of the rules of the Body Corporate which you will be expected to observe. A copy of the rules will be given to you by the commercial broker with your lease documentation.
After you have signed your lease and paid the lease fees, deposit and first month’s rental, you will be entitled to take occupation. Please report anything which is missing or not working within 7 days of moving in. The ingoing inspection will serve as the baseline against which the unit’s condition will be compared when you vacate and when the outgoing inspection is conducted.
We have longstanding relationships with professional companies with whom we can negotiate excellent prices. If at any time you have a problem with a maintenance item of any kind, please contact our maintenance department for assistance. The relevant contact details will be shown on your monthly statement.
