I second Cate Bakos. Lovely to deal with, experienced and very knowledgable.

What sort of fees are you paying? Wondering if it's just bad luck and horrible management or reflective of a lower fee schedule?

Huge break down in communication. Sounds like they forgot to tell you about the return notice by the tenant. They should tell you via phone or email as soon as they recurve notification of the vacate date. Perhaps it wasn't a priority for them as they weren't going to be managing anymore...

If your tenant can't be there just get your pm to provide access for the tradie with spare keys. Solves the issue of after hours costs for the tenant (and not being accomodating). My pm often meets tradies during business hours and just lets the tenants know when she will go through. If they...

Always get everything in writing A notice to vacate must be in writing on the prescribed form. No notice- no validity. Im pretty sure i mentioned this in my post/reply to you at the start. Anyway, the pm is very unprofessional and has demonstrated her lack of legislation knowledge and...

Thomastown has the ring road that goes directly into the city via citylink. As does high street or via st George's rd. It has both trains and buses. Its a good growth corridor and still affordable for large parcels of land. Glenroy you're fighting with developers who drive prices quite...

Doesn't matter if they don't collect. It's legally recorded as sent. All the landlord has to do is send it for a notice to be recognised as served. My pm sends notices my registered mail, email and normal mail. In order to prove service you must either have a signed statement by the tenant...

Notice to vacate due to subletting is 14 day notice. The pm could only have served 48 hours 243(1)?damage you or your visitor have (by act or omission) maliciously caused damage to the premises or common areas. 244(1)?danger you or your visitor have endangered the safety of neighbours...

Deliver it by registered post. You get a slip with the time and date which is very important to prove service. If the tenant isn't there you can't prove you delivered as you should get them to sign receipt.

It's not ray white it's actually a third party. How weber new legislation states that there is not allowed to be a few for direct debit set up or payments now.

I said easy access to stratmore school zone. It's one bus down to Essendon via Brunswick west. Didn't say it was in the zone. Pentridge has some good buys but it's not as favourable to tenants. Two of the buildings- have had major building issues and the builder has filed bankruptcy. Owners...

Coburg is preferable over Coburg North. Coburg North has minimal commission housing however Coburg hill has been developed very well (old Kodak site). Pentridge developed well and continuing but not too high density. Cinema and shooing mall commencing construction. Property is performing very...

Looking at your questions from an investment and tenancy point of view- Investment wise, the areas you mentioned often have high vacancies, lower rental returns and a lot of issues sourcing good quality tenants. Just a comment/thought- You would be better off purchasing a smaller inner north...

Pine I find is very soft. Just ensure you have exclusion clauses for damages above normal west and tear. No heels on floorboards, furniture protectors ect.

Fantastic!!!
