The big picture was certainly looked at and it is presently being renovated to become our PPOR, as was the plan when we bought it quite a few years back. :) However, there are just some tenants that you could provide a butler and valet service for and it still wouldn't be good enough. And...

Oh She Sounds Like the One We Just Evicted !!!! Dead serious ..... is she an older lady? Sweet as pie?? Butter wouldn't melt?? So nice until the keys are given, then her nasty alter ego appears??? She has taken a private rental but we were never rung for a reference ... and she goes by a...

Given any crook can bypass a sliding glass door by jamming a screwdriver into the bottom corner and popping the glass, the deadbolt is one more thing they have to manouvere before they can actually open the door ... makes it harder to carry stuff out if they have to pass it thorugh shattered...

These may be of some help ..... http://www.landlordsadvisory.com.au http://www.poa-vic.org/ http://www.consumer.vic.gov.au HTH :)

I know I wouldn't be accepting the fact that they didn't pay last weeks rent as their acceptance of the compensation. Until something was signed to that effect, they haven't accepted it. Then in that case, they are now one week behind on their rent and unless it is rectified, they are in...

In agreeance completely. Pay the money, but not before they sign something saying that by receiving the money the issue is dead and buried. Get everything fixed that needs to be fixed, dirty glass excluded.:eek: Be on top of everything from now on, make sure all paper work is in place, the...

Another 'out' would be that if the pool is set up on lawn/grass, it will kill it off very quickly as no sunlight will be getting to the grass. So you could instruct them to take it down as it is not maintaining the gardens. Also a pool that size (I know it isn't big, but it holds a heap of...

So as I understand it, it is written in the lease that the power is connected in your name. Is it also written in the lease that they will be responsible for paying the bill? If so, they are in breach of their responsibilities according to the lease document and should be dealt with...

If it were me in that situation, I'd write a final notice of intention to disconnect ... allowing say 14 days to pay all arrears in full. No other options offered, no payment plans nothing. Then if not paid, I would ring up and have it disconnected. But it wouldn't be me in that situation...

I prefer my tenants to be upfront about pets, rather than hiding them at inspection time. It's not a great way to have a trusting business relationship and will more than likely mean a problem with the deception is identified. I think if a tenant is prepared to hide a pet, what else are they...

I don't think the signed letter makes any difference. That authorisation could be removed at any time, but better that she changes her mind before the tenant starts to invest money into setting it up. I know that the Federal Govt offers $1500 incentive to start a FDC ($1000 to start up, $500...

Yadreamin, some very very valid points there. The council approval will be an interesting one, because normally it is the property owner who puts that request in.....not the tenant. One positive about it all, if it does end up working and everyone is happy, the OP will have a very long...

Having run FDC from my own PPOR, it's not as simple as putting up fencing. There are so many rules and requirements, I am going to guess the requests are not going to stop at fencing. HWS (has to be heat controlled), Heating (cannot have heaters on the ground or they have to be turned off)...

I think you have an obligation with the door handles - from the simple position that it could become a hazard. What if there is a fire and the door cannot be opened? I would not want that on my conscience. But get the PM to check it out and determine whether there is a problem or not ... and if...

An Update Just thought I would let you know of a win for the lowly landlord! We received a letter from the tenant saying that they had been advised by the tenancy board that they suggest the tenant's only feasible solution is to ask the landlords (us) to consider a mutual termination of the...

The thought crossed our minds. Even to the point where this tenant has advised the tenancy board to post all the information they have on being a landlord to us .... just so we know our obligations. It's very over the top and needs to be managed with kid gloves, but at an adult level. It's a try...

This is what we are thinking, or that by pestering, we might hand it over. The tenant has paid their rent and has actually admitted as late as Friday they were wrong to not ensure it was paid on time previously. This last week's was paid one day early. Some of the requests we cannot meet...

I should also add ... the house wasn't filthy, we have the photos on the PCR (that we also can't agree one with the tenant) to back that claim up. The house was clean and presentable, more than I have experience in my rental days. This tenant is whinging about sand under lino, from where he...

First up, thank you for such a great forum, I've gleaned much from here. Thanks again. Warning .... long post We have a couple of IP, self manage and have always had awesome tenants. I mean, the kind you only dream of. We recently relet one our IP and the tenant we have put in came with...
