No, it's approx 10+ years old. Bought it new.

Thanks for all of your input and advice which I have taken on board. Cheers

The point is, if I had been advised when the fault was first detected, then my agent could have investigated it with the tenant who has long gone. We could have also matched up records of when the routine inspection of the smoke alarms were done.

I have an apartment in Richmond, 3121, VIC. I have just received a bill from the OC for $2000 to trace faulty smoke alarms on our level and it appears the hard wired smoke alarms in our apartment were at fault. They supposedly were changed. By whom, no one knows. When? Again no one knows...

Bob Andersen's mentoring is/was $30,000 and it lasts for 12 months.

OMG there's over 200 two bed units with this postcode. I'd say it's slow to rent due to supply and demand. Good luck with it.

I got a quote from Youi but their excess was $750 and AAMI's excess was less than half. Better the devil you know! I decided to stay with AAMI. I like to compare apples with apples. It's not just the price of the policy.

I've just taken business away from Terri Scheer. My tenants claimed that the internal oven door exploded and at exactly the same time, a saucepan was dropped on the glass cooktop which was also damaged. I wasn't there, I have to take their word for it. The phone consultant I spoke with at...

Vaughan - I would have thought fixing the exploding oven door was my/Glem's responsibility. It is out of warranty by six months and the fact that Glem have offered to replace the glass is an indication to me they are aware of this problem. I am a bit confused, why should I make the tenant pay...

My policy is with Terri Scheer. Landlord and house. The internal glass door exploded on our Glem oven recently and the tenant claims at the exact second it happened, he dropped a saucepan on the glass cooktop and cracked the glass and a piece of glass broke off completely. I consider it...

We have a house with granny flat on separate electricity meters. Terri Scheer was able to cover us but there were a few who said no.
