Actually this plumber didn't dig the hole. A previous plumber did the digging and stuffed up his job and left. We got another plumber to fix the problem, he fixed it but has left the hole... At least the first plumber did put some 'safety' fencing around the hole so tenants won't fall in.

Hi all, There was some plumbing work done on the IP. The plumber didn't cover up the hole with dirt; he said we can get some 'maintenance' guy to cover it up. (Cause he would have charge us a 'plumber' rate) The hole exposes the pipe/drain, it is not small (e.g. 50cm deep) If we cover...

Thanks for all your comments. I think it is about protecting me and my family, not about whether I have anything to hide. It is the same as you wouldn't tell your work colleges your home address even though you are 'friends'.

thatbum, thanks for the link. I will check out the PO box, hopefully it's a solution. :)

My agent emailed me this: "Due to new legislation coming into effect as of the 1st of January, 2014 it is a legal requirement that all documentation to tenants ie bond form and tenancy agreement must contain the owners address." How (where) do I check if this is true?

Hi everyone, How many of you attempt to hide where you live from your tenants? My agent said she can write the agency address instead of my home address in the tenancy agreement and the bond document. Is this legal? If my tenants know where I live, I don't want a surprise visit:eek...

Hey everyone, I asked my PM to tell tenants-to-be that I will increase the rent after 6 months. PM told me that they know and have agreed. But when I check the lease agreement, this isn't written down. The only closest thing mentioned is 'the landlord reserved the right to increase the rent...

Yes I think my PM was talking too quickly! It was like this: I advertised the ad $400 pet friendly. Someone put in an application for $370. I guessed if they have a pet I will increase it (part of the negotiations) but my PM was like 'no no that's illegal to increase because of pets' I...

Hey everyone, I was told by my PM that it's illegal to raise the rent if the tenants wants a pet. It's that correct? I am in SA. She mentioned about pet bond, is this why we can't change the rent? A bit confused :confused:about rules regarding pets, please advice! The tenant...

why's it a dog's breakfast?:p I see that the rate for 3yr is still better than variable rate - bank discount. And I want to take advantage of the very low 1yr and the low 2yr rates, hence the multiple portions!

Hey somersofters, I am planninng to fix my loan into a number of fixed loan portions e.g. $x 1 year, $y 2 years, $z 3 years... Is there a calculator that lets you enter figures like this so you will know what interest you have to pay in 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year etc? If there's no...

so true, cimbom. What I don't get is why this agent prefers to talk instead of writing it down.:confused: I thought their job is to make a sale happen. Unless there's something wrong like: the vendor/agent doesn't like me:(

thanks for the replies, especially to Big Will. Now as I mentioned before: wrote up the contract of sales on last Sat and gave it to the agent. Agent came back on Sun saying the vendor wants more (quite annoyed that agent didn't get the vendor to cross out my offer in the contract) I...

didn't know there's confusion:(... I was doing verbal/having a chat with the agent for a few weeks before. I signed a contract over the weekend with a 2 day clause. Agent came back wanting more (just talk as I didn't get the contract back with e.g. my figure crossed out.) That's why...

more delays... Just told by the agent that vendor will drop the asking price by $20k and will have another open this weekend. I guess that means my offer is not good enough AND there's not enough people interested in the house.... The house has been on market for 2 months.

I signed the contract over the weekend but waiting for the vendor's signature. I noticed some agents like to do verbal instead of written; this agent likes to talk about the price back and forth for a few weeks before getting me the contract. Is there some restrictions like the agent...

Hi everyone. I want to buy an ip and gave a verbal offer to the agent. Recently the agent told me the vender is actually buying a new house subject to the sale of his current house. He is running out of time to sell the house to me. Agent told me my offer is not enough and the vendor is...
