All general repairs must be emailed to your Property Manager. You must advise Samma Real Estate once any works have been completed.
If a tradesman is required to attend the property and a suitable time has been arranged between you (the tenant) and the tradesman and you are not home, you agree to pay the standard service call for the tradesman attending the property.
