URGENT REPAIRS

Do you have an urgent or emergency repair required at your property outside normal business hours? Here is everything you need to know.

What qualifies as an Urgent Repair?

Urgent repairs means any work necessary to repair or remedy (Per the Consumer Affairs website). If anything urgent does occur, please ensure you also follow up with an email to us at pm@reom.com.au with a description of the issue and photos. This will create a communication record for future reference. Please also ensure you are only directly contacting trades for urgent repairs after hours. During normal business hours any maintenance (either urgent or otherwise) should be directed to your property manager. Finally, if you (the tenant or resident) caused the damage, the landlord can ask you to arrange or pay for repairs (or both). Our panel of approved Trade Suppliers will be able to attend if truly urgent, or are able to talk you through fixes on any issue you might have to get you through until morning.
