Managing community care housing becomes streamlined when a tenancy officer engages a property maintenance company to be ‘on tap’.
With one phone call, the tenancy or housing operations officer is able to access all trades.
This convenience is the key to keeping control of endless lists of repairs to be done. It helps with management of the maintenance list and establishes a record of all tasks undertaken.
Carrying out repairs and maintenance extends the life span of a property, saving money for the community care housing organisations.
Endless maintenance list
Western Australia’s community care organisations work hard to provide disadvantaged members of our community with many services, including housing suitable for families, the disabled and the aged.
The tenancy officers of not-for-profit organisations are always on the frontline, dealing with urgently needed repair and maintenance work. Every imaginable problem that can occur in any home makes it onto their endless ‘to-do’ list.
Making premises safe
Vacated premises may be left damaged or neglected. Repairs and maintenance must be carried out to ensure they are safe before the next tenant can move in.
Community care accommodation must comply with state government safety requirements, such as two residual current devices (RCDs) installed in the electrical switchboard and mains connected working smoke alarms.
Under state government law, a $750 infringement notice could be issued for any property that does not have a smoke alarm, while a seller or landlord could face a fine of up to $5000.
