Up until this week we would only do inspections if people were registered all we required was a name and phone number. Just incase we had to contact them and cancel or reschedule. Also we dont process an application if they do not view the property this helps in this instance. Also saves time...

We do not add new people to the lease. We have them fill out an application and get them approved as borders but the person on the lease is still responsible. If they want the other person/s on the lease everyone must move out as if they were vacating a new condition report done and then they...

One of my brothers properties was thru an agent and advertised on RE.com. We felt they were not doing enough so advertised it on gum tree have got really good tenants but they said they had seen it on RE.com and tried to contact the agent a few times with no response. I passed there info onto...

some times they just need a chance. It doesnt matter who you rent the place to you are always taking a risk. Maybe get them to give references from upstanding people in there community that may know them as in church or along those lines. :)

I thought all persons over the age of 18 living at the property needed to be on the lease. A question on that if there is one person living at the property that is not on the lease and the tenant/s on lease leave would the tenant not on the lease be squatting so to speak how would you go...

I manage 20 of my brothers and nephews properties. There are two in with a PM for different reasons and I end up micro managing them. Dont like PM's attached to RE office but have no choice here. So studying to get my licence and start my own PM business. :D

Tica is for private landlords as well. We use it all the time. has come in handy. there is a yearly fee of about $22 I think and approx $14 -$15 per enquiry depending on how many you purchase at a time or you maybe able to do the yearly thing but you would only do that if you had a lot to do...

They can sign the bond over to you by filling out the bond claim form with zero to them and signing it with the balance to yourself. If they dissappear you will have to apply to VCAT for the bond and if they agree you fill in the same form and attach the ruling to it. cheers

I thought all inspection fees first inbetween and last would be included in the management fee. do they really charge for that??:eek:

In regards to TICA if it has been to the tribunal you can put them on the data base with out notification to the tenant as it is now public record.

There is nothing you can really do. You can apply to the tribunal for the bond but that is about it. You can once it has been at the tribunal list them on Tica or National Tenancy Database. You can not enforce payment of the amount. Insurance will not pay for bad housekeeping and will pay...

We have nothing but quality rentals here. :D:D:D

I spoke with my pm and he is not aware of it at this point

Have a look at this rental and look at the photo with the front door in it. Would you really market it this way http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-maryborough-407562297
