Renting With Us

At A ONE Real Estate, we're committed to making your rental experience safe, smooth, and stress-free. Whether you're dealing with an emergency situation or transitioning between rentals, this comprehensive guide provides all the information you need.

Emergency Maintenance Guide

Your safety and well-being come first. If you experience urgent maintenance issues, please refer to this guide to understand what qualifies as an emergency and how to respond.

What is Considered an Emergency?

An emergency repair is a situation that:

  • Poses an immediate risk to health, safety, or the property
  • Could cause injury or major damage if not addressed quickly
  • Makes the property unsafe, uninhabitable, or unsecure

Emergency Contacts

For critical emergencies, contact the appropriate services first:

  • Fire: Call 000 immediately
  • Break-in or Trespassing: Call Police Assistance on 131 444
  • Storm or Natural Disaster Damage: Call SES on 132 500

A qualified tradesperson will assess the situation and determine if after-hours attendance is necessary for your safety.

Common Emergency Situations

Water Leak

  • Locate the source of the leak if safe to do so

  • For severe flooding, take photographs for potential insurance claims

Gas Leak
