Grow Well Property - Emergency Repairs

If a Renter requests urgent repairs, the Landlord must respond immediately. All repairs are the Landlord's responsibility, but if the Renter caused the damage, the Landlord can ask them to arrange or pay for repairs. Set procedures must be followed when dealing with urgent or non-urgent repairs. Renters must continue paying rent even when they are waiting for repairs to be done.

All maintenance must be reported in writing to your Property Manager as soon as possible and safe to do so, this includes even when you call your Property Manager or if you are unable to contact them and use a contractor to assist.

During Business Hours
Your Property Manager is available during business hours Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 5.00pm to report any maintenance and on occasion, may be available outside of those hours. Please contact your Property Manager direct on their mobile phone or if you cannot reach them, contact the office on +61 3 9639 3333.

Outside Business Hours
If the matter is urgent (please see definition below) and outside of business hours, please contact your Property Manager before contacting our preferred contractors first as per below and inform your property manager in writing as soon as possible.
