Please note that our office does not respond to phone calls or emails after hours

Emergency repairs that occur outside our business hours (Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm) can be organised by the tenant directly if the repair is classified an emergency and the tenant follows the procedure below:

* Also note that all other repairs must be reported to the property manager in writing and will be addressed during our normal business hours.

The Residential Tenancies Act states emergency repairs are:

  • A burst water service or a serious water service leak
  • A blocked or broken lavatory system or fittings
  • A serious roof leak
  • A gas leak
  • A dangerous electrical fault
  • Flooding or serious flood damage
  • Serious storm, fire or impact damage
  • A failure or breakdown of the gas, electricity or water supply to the premises
  • A failure or breakdown of an essential service or appliance on premises for hot water, cooking or heating
  • A fault or damage that makes premises unsafe or unsecure
  • A fault or damage likely to injure a person, damage property or unduly inconvenience a tenant of premises, or
  • A serious fault in any staircase, lift or other common area which inhibits or unduly inconveniences residents in gaining access to or using the premises
