Unlocking eSignature Legality for Facility Rental Agreement in Australia

How to eSign a document: eSignature legality for Facility Rental Agreement in Australia

This unit is perfect for us! Yeah, it’s good. Let’s go back to the agent and fill in the forms. OK, so sign this lease. You have to pay the rent in advance plus four weeks rent for the bond. If the property is not damaged at the end of the lease you will get the bond back. And you need to fill in this condition report. It lists all the damage that already exists. Check it is right so you will not have to pay for damage you did not do. OK, let’s go to our new home. Mmm... everything seems to be working OK. Ohh look, there’s a cracked tile in the bathroom. Ahha, and a cigarette burn in the carpet! Write that down. Four weeks later Saw Paw, the oven isn’t working. Yeah, when I tried to cook the chicken on the weekend the oven kept turning off. Good morning. This is Saw Paw Kunoo from Unit 2 /25 William Rd. The oven in our unit isn’t working. Can someone come to fix it please? Two months later They still haven’t come to fix it! Call them again. We can’t bake or roast anything. Ohhh, they might kick us out if we complain. At the end of the lease Saw and Nan move out of the unit. Here are the keys for our unit. Will you send us the bond? We’ll check the condition of the unit first then we’ll contact you. Thanks. We need that bond back. We need that money now. I can’t believe it! The landlord said we’re not getting the bond back. How come? They said we broke the oven and the carpet is dirty. We broke the oven! I don’t believe it. Well, the landlord should have fixed your oven immediately. You could have written down the problem in a letter to the landlord, and kept a copy yourself to show that you told them. You could have gone to see a tenant’s advocacy organisation if you needed help doing this. If your landlord won’t make repairs you can get free legal help. I didn’t want to complain. He might have kicked us out. You have rights - they can’t kick you out just because you have asked for repairs. They need a court order. There are laws to protect tenants. So is there anything we can do now? I’ll help you apply to get your bond back. Oh thank you, we really need the money. We got our bond back. Lucky we got some help.
