Hello, I've been renting this unit for almost 4 years. Since I moved in the remote for the aircon/heating unit has never worked. The PM organised technician in the first year and it turned out that at some point before I moved in the aircon unit had been changed to have a manual switchboard...

thanks for the suggestions, following up on this after holidays. a few questions: why would the PM try to compromise the rent in favour of the tenant? what interest does he/she have in it? Wouldn't it be better for a PM if a tenants change frequently? (PM gets more provision?)...

because it was already taken once I saw it advertised :( I actually like the place and would like to avoid the hassle of moving, so looking for negotiation options without having to go tribunal (no idea how that even works) how about the chance of having a word with the landlord, is that...

Hi, I've been renting for two years this apartment with yearly renewals. Last year the lease increased by 5$ a week, now for the next lease the PM told me it'll be 15$ a week more! I have tried to negotiate down to 10$ but I was probably not good in that. I mentioned that the apartment next...

it will be a 12 months lease. I'm paying $380 per week at the moment, so it'll be $385. I'm actually not a good negotiator but I thought it was worth mentioning the construction place we had to stand for months. I would have probably taken also the $10 pw increase because I really don't want...

After reminding the agent that there has been a construction building directly in front of our window since we moved in (and my partner was working from home for 6 months), the owner has agreed to increase the rent 5$ a week instead of $10. My proposal was to get a renewed contract with no...

Hi all, I finally received an answer from the PM. She said the owner has agreed to a 12 months renew with an increase of $10.00 per week. I know it's a take it or leave it, and don't know if the PM really contacted the owner etc, I just wanted to know if this is a reasonable increase based...

yes I checked the information about the leaving notice and it's indeed 60 days. I have sent an email to the PM. Will keep posted. Thanks all for the suggestions

I'm not sure how I should approach the Agent, which is very impolite and unfriendly btw. I just want to avoid having one month notice to move out. I would not mind paying a reasonable increase of rent, if that is the only way to get another contract, although given what you are saying, it...

Hi, When moved in this property I had a one year contract which is due to expire in 2 weeks. After this, the Property Manager has told me that the rental is renewed month by month. I have asked if it is possible to have another 1 year contract, because I don't want to have a short notice...

We filled the condition report very detailed listing every little thing and all the dirty items. The agency accepted it without questioning (surprisingly). After that, upon our request, they sent an electrician and a handyman to fix things. So their attitude changed in comparison to the...

After a bunch of lies they tried to sold us, we managed to get the Agent admitting that the steam clean was done one month ago (with the support of the cleaning company). The Agent then wrote and signed a letter where she states that we don't need to do the steam clean upon vacating the...

Hi Gilbert, it's not about stains that don't go away. I can understand that. It's about that the dry clean was done one month ago where the tenant was still living there and the furnitures were still there! I confirmed with the dry cleaning company that they could not clean completely because...

maybe it was steam cleaned but during the last month it became dirty again. The tenant was living in the apartment in the last month until two days ago. There are small stains and regular dirt crumbs hair etc. What would be the government body, who eactly shall we contact in case we go for it?

we'll definetly fill the report accurately. the question now is if we can claim the agent or whatever authority a steam clean before we move in, at least for the carpet. More, in the contract it's stated that we have to steam clean the carpet before we move out. That is ok if it is the carpet...

no the Agent says the tenant was in until 20th september. I forgot to mention it

Hi, we are about moving to an apartment to rent. The agent gave us the Condition Report, most things are stated as Clean state but they are dirty. Most of all the carpet: we asked the Agent for the Invoice of the company that did the steam clean, and the date on the invoice is one month ago...
