    Need recommendations for landlords insurance

    I give Terri Scheer a big thumbs up. Long story short. Organised policy through property manager. Nearly 2 years later we submitted a claim for unpaid rent. Received a phone call from TS telling me we didn't have a policy. We had filled in forms but policy was never issued for unknown...

    Cost to remove a tree?

    Quotes sound about right to me. A 25m tree above power lines is a big and dangerous job. Make sure you use a PROFESSIONAL company and don't just go for the cheapest quote on a job like this. Also check they have insurance and are qualified to do power line clearance.

    Need help to create by law.

    I think you may have misunderstood. The common property is currently the driveway to the rear lot. I want to sign over exclusive use to the rear property so they will be fully responsible for any future repairs/maintenance as the front lot already has their own driveway. I think we will go...

    Need help to create by law.

    Wow. I thought this was going to be simple. I originally rang landgate and they said just fill in a form 21 and lodge it. When I looked at the form, it is quite simple but I wanted to get it right so I thought I would find someone that could help me. I thought someone that could do it would...

    Why are WA PM's sooo expensive

    Most agents will drop their rate to 7.7% if you ask them. I've never paid any higher.

    Air conditioner leaking - warranty item?

    I find it strange that they will "top up the gas". They need a fairly accurate amount to run properly and unless it has a leak it shouldn't need any "topping up". I'd get a second opinion.

    Air conditioner leaking - warranty item?

    Mine was doing the same and I cleaned it out myself. If it's blocked with dirt etc. then I doubt it will be covered by warranty.

    Could you believe

    I agree that this is the most likely scenario. I thought it was normal.

    Do I need to have a rental aggreement?

    If you've only just inherited it, you won't be able to claim the repairs as a deduction anyway. Once the reno is finished get a depreciation schedule done.
