We have received a letter from our PM asking us to sign a new Managing Agency Agreement due to the new legislation in NSW. We only sign with them last year in April. The problem is the new agreement is completely different to the previous one. I agree we have to pay the $33.00 in full for the...

And more of the almost finished ones.

We have started (last year :eek: ) to renovate our main bathroom. Luckily we have 2 other ones. It is still not quite finished, but we are getting there!

There are downlights using 240v, Energy Saving lights. We just intalled them in our new kitchen. They are great. And I'm sure they don't heat as much.

Thanks Propertunity, I'll keep them in mind.

Hi Thorpey, I would also be interested in having the name of PMs to avoid on the Central Coast. We are renting our property in LakeHaven and I am not quite sure about our current PM! Thanks. Sylvie

I just checked, it is just two bills instead of one. All the water related expenses are now in the Urban Utilities bill and no more in the rates one. And it is exactly the same amount, so no extra costs. It might make it easier to get a tenant pay for it though.

Here is the photo. It is so frustrating when start reading and the link has disappeared:(

I had a Bosh one (washer/ dryer combos) once in a unit I was renting and it worked pretty well as far as I can remember. It was 10 or 15 years ago though and in Paris ( European standard!? ), but it was really good and handy when you don't have any balcony and only a small unit. Sylvie.

Our tenant, in our house in Lake Haven, is planning to move out in a few months ( 2 or 3 or may be more! ). We are currently self managing but because we are living in Brisbane we would like to find a PM to take over. Any recommendation for a good PM in the Wyong Area or anyone to steer...

They are he one who send me to the tribunal a few months ago claiming all my bond and a bit more after I broke the lease and they did not manage to rent the property in less than 8 weeks after increasing the rent of $50/w. And they did not even turn up at the tribunal so lost everything. If I...

They usely heat the water themselves, so make sure you plugged it to the cold water tap. I also had the hot clothes at the end when we moved to our new home but it was because the hot water tap was at the left of the cold one. Since we plugged it to the cold water, its all fine and rinses with...

You cannot download them but you can order them free of charge from the NSW Government Shop website http://www.shop.nsw.gov.au/pubdetails.jsp?publication=7584

GoAnna, I did pay an additional 1 week rent to compensate the owner for the break of the lease. I am probably too honest, but I broke the lease and knew that it might cost a bit. I just did not want to pay for them to try the market:D At the tribunal, I was pretty ready to argue with the PM...

If you are worried, you can be present during her inspection and discuss it with her. Or if you don't want to be there, you can fill the "Exit Condition Report" (Form 14a) (which you are required to do when you leave anyway), mention the problem on it, send it to the PM asking her to complete...

I went to the tribunal last Tuesday and got my bond back (less re-letting fees) but the PM did not turn up, so it was a bit easy. Now the problem is that they can apply for a re-hearing within 28 days:confused: I don't know if it is fair. As an agency, they should be able to find someone to...

You can save the file on your disk, open it with word. In the menu "Tools" select "Unprotect Document" and deselect any selected restrictions (Editing restriction). You should now be able to modify it. Cheers. Sylvie

Hi Bazza, In fact you won't find any statement saying that. The only part of the RTA concerning this issue is in section 230 (3) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1994 (Queensland): “The lessor or tenant— (a) must take all reasonable steps to mitigate the loss or expense; and (b) is not...

I broke my lease in April (3 months before the end of it) because we bought a house too, and the PM advertised de house at $50 pw more than my current rent without any mention of the break of the lease. It was the first time I was renting in Australia (I am french), and I did not know much...
