No FHOG for buyers spending over $600k in Victoria as of July 1st. If that helps?

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked. I don't think I am stupid for wondering, and asking those who are more knowledgeable at managing properties than I. There will always be a LL and tenants winging on both sides. That's life.

Ta, Well if they are wanting us to move on, I'd be getting a notice right about now. I suppose they intend on keeping me.

So should I ask for a month to month agreement, or a 9 month lease? I am in Melbourne. I know that plenty of renters in Melbourne are on month to month. Will my lease automatically default to this if my LL has no intention of evicting me (I can think of no reason why he would want to get...

No, that's not what I will be doing. Where is a one eye brow raised, one eye brow lowered emoticon.

Nods. I agree. I have had quite a few knowledgeable PM's telling me to go for it. Take it to rental review that is. I would love it if I could move into the 2 year old place (same size) up the road that is up for lease at the moment, for the same price as my current place (with rise). My...

Gosh, I ask for some advice, and I get some interesting posts, and some very informative one's. I wonder why I pay more for my unit than the two completely identical units each side of me. So, it seems that it's just the way it goes. Thanks, I have now worked out that I will take the rise and I...

I've looked into this recently. It's too much effort.

Oh he owns and manages. he spends his days at VCAT with all sorts of bits and pieces, mostly chasing up unpaid rent (his properties are aimed at that demographic). I do believe that the rise was just a tenant can't be bothered moving rise. I would move, but its just the issue of only needing...

VCAT would be a drastic measure, I would assume that you would just get a rental review first. It seems odd to raise the rent above that of the area though. What is the point? The pm I know is worried that a few tenants (in the same area) have won rental reviews and is concerned they will...

A family member of mine who is a pm, suggested that he has been taken to VCAT several times and has had the rent significantly reduced despite a lease. Would you be thinking that I will not get month to month anyway? I am in no position to sign for another year, but 6 month would be fantastic.

I am currently builing my home so I rent at the moment. I pay $1300 pcm and my landlord would like to increase the payments to $1350. The exact same properties on either side of me are going for $1250. Given this info, I think I would have an excellent chance of leaving rent as is, or even...

The old part of Deer Park.

Fixed site costs, and made sure there are no issues there. Land size is 320m2, so not very big at all.
