Hi
Hoping someone can help with ruling or precedence on an issue with an agent.
We have a rental property in VIC, and late last year gave tenants 120 days notice to vacate. The tenant vacated about a month before this advised date, and provided 14 days notice to the agent.
However, the agent never advised us of this. We only found out when we changed agents (for a variety of other reasons) 1 business day before tenants vacated, when the new agent informed us.
Property Manager claims they advised of the tenant's intention over the phone. We didn't even receive a phone call on the day claimed. In fact during the time claimed we were in contact with the agent via email regarding a bathroom renovations quote. Nothing was mentioned via email.
QUESTION: Is there anything specific that rules how a Property Manager must inform the landlord of a tenant's notice to vacate? We would have expected it would need to be in writing.
Thank you
