Current Tenants

In the Supportive Housing For Families program, we are the Property and Tenancy Manager. As such, we manage issues relating to the properties and our tenants’ tenancies. Any other issues can be discussed with the Micah Projects’ Keeping Families Together team. Here is some useful information for our current tenants.
Report a Maintenance Issue

Maintenance Issue

If you have a property maintenance issue, please contact your Tenancy Manager.

Utilities

In the SH4F program, you are required to organise your own gas and electricity account. If the property you live in requires for you to pay for water usage, CGQ will organise with you to make a fortnightly contribution that will be held in trust for any water bills.

Sustaining your Tenancy

CGQ hopes tenants will have a long and successful tenancy with us. We believe sustaining a tenancy and achieving stability allows for people to reach their true potential. Meeting your tenancy obligations such as keeping rent in advance, looking after your property, being a good neighbour and working respectfully with CGQ will contribute to a positive tenancy outcome.

Pet Application

If you wish to apply to have a pet in your apartment, please apply to CGQ using the Pet Application Form.

At CGQ, we recognise the importance of pets, and we are supportive of tenants wishing to have a pet, where possible. Please read through the below information before completing our Pet Application Form.

What should I consider before getting a pet?

While planning to add a pet to your home can be exciting, it is important to ensure that you are 100% ready for the commitment. Pets require time, money, effort, and lots of love.

We recommend that you look through RSPCA’s guide  to help you decide if now is the right time to have a pet in your life.

What are CGQ’s conditions for pet approval?

To ensure the best for all members of our community, there some conditions associated with pet ownership at BCG.

Expectations

CGQ maintains high expectations of tenants managing their pet’s behaviour. If approval is granted by CGQ, the following conditions will apply:

  • All costs for any damage caused by the pet are to be met by the applicant as the owner of the pet.
  • The applicant accepts full responsibility and all liability associated with the pet as its owner.
  • As the owner of the pet, the applicant will provide, on request from CGQ written documentation which authenticates the pet’s breed, veterinarian proof that the animal is desexed and proof of current registration of the animal with the local government.
  • CGQ requires the applicant as the owner of the pet to ensure the pet is adequately contained within the premises at all times, as agreed with your Housing Manager
  • CGQ requires the applicant as the owner to ensure that the pet is not allowed to roam freely through communal areas.
  • CGQ requires the applicant as the owner of the pet, to ensure animal waste is disposed of in an appropriate manner at all times.
  • CGQ will investigate any unapproved pets and/or complaints regarding a pet that may be impacting others or damaging property in line with the Pets Policy.
  • In the SH4F program, pets need to be approved by the owner of the property and applicable body corporate rules and regulations may apply.
