Hi again,
I discussed with my family and we agree to rent the apartment to you. The property management company that will make all the necessary arrangements for you to view the apartment before signing the lease agreement is called Airbnb Property Management (www.airbnb.com/trust) I will cover the transaction and delivery fees. I'm registered with this company and I will initiate the rental transaction because I'm the landlord. The keys can be delivered in 2-3 business days if you agree with the terms and conditions of the transaction. To avoid any misunderstanding I will provide with all the steps of this transaction through Airbnb Property Management.
- You need to provide me your contact details: full name, mailing address (street, number, city and postal code), cell phone number, move-in date and lease agreement preferred (e.g. 6 months or 1 year rental contract with option of renewal). The lease agreement will be a standard one from the Australian government.
- I will go to the Airbnb Property Management office to start the transaction and I will give them the apartment keys and necessary documents.
- Airbnb Property Management will check the ownership documents and lease agreement. They will also confirm with the building management that I'm the legal owner of the apartment I'm renting to you.
- Airbnb Property Management will send you a notification(via email) with the transaction details to inform you that they have the keys and the documents in their custody.
- You need to send the amount of 3550$( first + last month of rent from contract and damage deposit-half of the month of rent) to the the Airbnb Property Management payment representative (lawyer escrow account) provided to you in the notification. THE PAYMENT NEEDS TO BE SENT WITHIN 24 BUSINESS HOURS AFTER YOU WILL RECEIVE THE TRANSACTION DETAILS OR ELSE THEY WILL CHARGE ME AN ADDITIONAL FEE.
- As soon as the payment is completed you need to send the payment details to Airbnb Property Management.
- Airbnb Property Management will check the payment confirmation and start the shipping procedure through UPS or DHL.
- You will receive the package (keys and lease agreement) and you will have 5 business days (inspection time) to check the place. The inspection time will start from the moment you will be at the building.
- If you decide to keep the apartment you just need to sign the lease agreement and Airbnb Property Management will release the funds to me. If you don`t want to keep the apartment you will receive a full payment refund including any payment fee paid for it.
Please note that Airbnb Property Management can NOT release the funds without your approval. You will have full control of the payment. They can release the payment to me as a landlord just after they will receive the lease agreement with your signature.
Using Airbnb Property Management involves three parties: me as owner, you as a potential tenant and Airbnb Property Management as a responsible third party authorized to handle this transaction. Airbnb Property Management works the same way as the escrow account on which you place the deposit when you rent an apartment, except that instead of a bank, we use Airbnb Property Management.
Also I can NOT rent the apartment any other way because the building management has strict rules about renting private properties and they strongly recommend me to use Airbnb Property Management because they have an agreement with them and also they are a professional company.
I ALSO NEED TO BE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS CLEAR FOR YOU SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL THE STEPS OF THE TRANSACTION BECAUSE I CAN NOT CHANGE THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS. ALSO I WILL PAY FOR THE TRANSACTION AND DELIVERY FEES AND JUST IN CASE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND I WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND FROM THEM!
If you have any other questions you can reach me any time at: +44020 81338496 (if you are calling from Australia you need to dial 011-44-020-8133-8496) or you can email me and I will respond ASAP.
Let me know if you have the funds available (3550AUD$) so we can move forward and e-mail me your full information I requested.
Thanks
