The people who looked last week want the house. They seem a teeny bit simple and had some trouble with the concept of a bond. Housing SA will give low-income earners the bond so I dug out the forms off the internet for them and will give them to them on Saturday when we do this paperwork signing thing.
So ... having never signed up a tenant before, and these tenants not seeming to be seasoned renters (I probably should ask, but this has been a long time coming so I'm not going to get picky), what's the deal? Sign dotted lines on that lease form thingy off the internet (including a line that says tenants git their own damn water), fill out inspection form, give them the big pamphlet about renting, and in this case, tell them to let us know when they have the power connected so we can come configure the satellite set-top box we're providing with the house (I can't see them being able to work it out themselves) and double check the new water connections - the house is on rainwater so with the power out we haven't been able to test with mains pressure water. Oh, and have to give them the keys and get the spare set off the REA who has the place for sale.
They are an older couple on the pension with two small dogs. I'm not really fussed on smaller pets, dogs are very common out here. The house is in extremely good condition other than the dust that has collected while it was vacant so there's not much to say about it.
I have lots of PDF files here, several from the OCBA website regards the lease and 2 from the housing SA site about the bond guarantee.
Am I missing anything?
