Naturally, all property issues and maintenance matters cannot be foreseen or predicted.  Therefore, you are to inform us immediately if something has been discovered that needs urgent attention.
If a maintenance issue has occurred, we have a contract maintenance company that will attend the property as efficiently as possible. We endeavor to remedy any maintenance or cleaning issue promptly during your stay, thus why have contracted a maintenance company, well equipped to deal with just about any issue that arises.  Refunds and discounts will not be given if you fail to contact us about a matter at the time of awareness.  If the issue cannot be resolved during your stay an appropriate discount may be applied to your stay.

Issues during your occupancy & early departure
We have a high standard of maintenance and employ a range of dedicated maintenance personnel that are available to remedy any unforeseen issues you may have during your stay.  You must contact us immediately if there is a problem with the property that requires attention so that we can ensure the issue is resolved.  We will always try to resolve any issue you have, however some things are beyond our control and a refund may be applicable if an unforeseen circumstance has rendered the property uninhabitable.  If you deem the property uninhabitable or are not happy with the way the issue has been attended to and decide to vacate the property before the end of your stay, you must notify us in writing (email or TXT message), prior to your departure, of your intention to vacate.  An investigation must then be undertaken by Otelta Pty Ltd to ensure all matters have been attended to by us and our contractors appropriately.  Refunds will only be given if on completion of this investigation the property has been deemed uninhabitable or unsafe.

From time to time items may break or get damaged through normal wear and tear.  We will endeavor to repair or replace these items as soon as possible during your occupancy, however we cannot guarantee the issue will be rectified during your time there as this may be reliant on outside factors, e.g. available trade’s people.  You may be provided with some small compensation at our discretion. You are however to notify us immediately thus allowing the opportunity to rectify all matters.

Occupancy
The rental price provided to you is for 1 to 2 people (unless stated otherwise).  Each additional person incurs an additional charge.  The additional charge can be given on request.  We also require photo ID and current address details of at least one individual that is staying at the property.  If you arrive with more individuals than notified, no one will then be permitted to enter the property, and no refunds will be issued.
