Emergency Plan

Emergencies can happen. These are defined as any situation in which a person may be harmed or additional damage to the property may occur if left unattended. Please call your Property Manager on their mobile or send them a detailed text message. If you do not receive a response immediately, then please follow the steps below.

Please be aware that the following situations are not classified as emergencies or urgent repairs and, as such, will be addressed by your Property Manager on the next working day.

•   Blocked toilets (if there is a second unblocked toilet)
•   Stove / oven not working
•   General maintenance and repairs
•   Trouble with reticulation
•   Trouble with air conditioning
•   Leaking taps
•   Pest control

Please note that if you carry out a repair that is not urgent, then you may be responsible for costs / expenses incurred. The owner is not obliged to pay for these.

BREAK-INS AND DAMAGE TO GLASS

Immediately contact the police and report the break-in or damage.

The police will provide you with a police report number. You must provide this number to your Property Manager on the next working day. If this number is not provided to your Property Manager, then any expenses incurred for repairs or replacement of glass will be invoiced to you.

In the event if you cannot contact your Property Manager, we advise you to contact a glazier to replace the damaged glass or secure the property. We recommend the following glaziers:

South: Mandurah Glass service on 9581 2894

North: Wanneroo Glass service on 9309 1962

Once you have provided the glazier with the police report number, you may instruct them to forward the account directly to our office.
