Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I, or my family need somewhere to stay prior to checking into the accommodation?

If you or your family need somewhere to stay for a couple of nights to a week or rest your head after coming in from a late-night flight then why not book at Essence Hotel Carlton? Offering comfortable rooms that give you the freedom to relax in a place away from home.

Do they offer after hours check-in?

Unfortunately, they do not offer check-ins outside of specified check-in times.

Where do I check-in?

Check-in at Reception.

What electricity cost am I responsible for?

Each resident pays for their energy as it is separately metered and will hold their account with an energy company. The property management recommends Sumo as an electricity provider.

What kind of contracts does this property offer?

6 and 12 month leases, however from time to time they are able to offer shorter lease periods.

What is not included on my rent?

  • Water Usage
  • Electricity Consumption
  • Internet / WiFi

Why is the rent not 4 times the weekly rental amount?

Rental is per calendar month. The weekly rate is multiplied by 52 weeks as there are 52 weeks in a year, and it is then divided by 12 months to get the monthly rate.

What is a Condition Report?

Upon arrival, they must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 paper copies of this Report when you come to collect your keys.

Review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to the property management within three business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the tenancy.

The ‘Condition Report’ is a very important document, as it can be used as evidence if there is a dispute about who should pay for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items, particularly at the end of a tenancy.

You may want to take photos of your apartment at the start of your tenancy to further show the condition.

The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy. If the ‘Condition Report’ stated that the work was required at the start of the tenancy, or the items were not listed, it can help you prove the bond should be returned to you.

I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month's rent?

Your bond and rent are separate payments. You are required to pay rent in the specified way up to and including the date of your departure.

What happens when I vacate?

You need to leave your apartment clean and tidy in the same condition as when you arrived, ensure all personal items have been removed, and report any damage that may have been caused during your tenancy. This allows for a speedy bond resolution. The property management offers a prepaid service for departure cleaning to assist residents.
