    How much body corporate is reasonable?

    I was wondering, is $5k+ a year a reasonable body corporate for a three bedder apartment? Forget about the gym, pool etc, they don't get used much even if they exist as aussie apartment facilities are in the worst quality compared to asia ones.

    Wall damaged?

    My tenant just moved out and I found out the apartment's wall paint seem to have been damaged. It seems like the tenant tried to use some sort of soap to wipe the wall, causing the paint to fade or eat in? What to do?? Is repainting the only solution? Has anyone come across this problem?
