Thanks. Good to know.

If/when anyone has left a PM have you still recieved your end of financial year figures from the former PM ?

that your PM has a physical (shopfront) presence locally to your IP ? Thinking of changing PM's but unsure of whether we need to stay locally. Any advice/input appreciated.

Interested PM says we have to notify old PM ourselves in writing AND they will not take over for free as their system doesn't allow it so we must stick with old PM for 3 of the 4 weeks remaining. See response here: Changeover from your old property manager to ourselves requires professional...

Thanks for the feedback guys ! :)

We too are in the early stages of changing PM's. Do I have to write to my PM advising termination (we also have to give 30 days notice), or does the new PM take care of this on our behalf ? If we advise our PM in writing is there anything in particular that I should include in the email ? I...

Hey Matt, Thanks for the rental frequency clarification. Seeing it explained in writing makes it easier to comprehend. The $1000.00 bill was my fault (at least initially) as I didn't change the postal address for one of our bills and the tenant would throw them in the bin when they were...

Makita make a very good multitool. Last I saw Bunnings sold them for $159.00. Couldn't tell you what the replacement blades go for though ...

Hopefully the job's not considered "too small". If so I fear you're going to get some pretty hefty quotes. Why not have a crack at it yourself ? There's so much free reference material available these days (ie books from the library or you tube or even bunnings weekend DIY sessions)...

Brave ..... very brave.:D

A tax deductable $75.00 a year or driving 80 km's (round trip) ..... not a difficult decision for me.

I'll have to re-read it for specifics. I did insist on 30 days notice to change agents when negotiating the contract so worse case scenario we wait 30 days to move PM's. To complicate things slightly our tenant is up for renewal and we're thinking to stay until the new 12 month lease is signed...

Is she correct about the rent frequency ? Can the tenant dictate the regularity of the rent ? I would've thought we (the PM on our behalf) put the renatal agreement to them as fortnightly (or whatever frequency we wanted) and they agree or request an alternate frequency to be approved by us ...

I have finally had a reply from my PM as follows: In reply to your email the tenancy agreement says the weekly rent amount and also when it is due this date is the day before the tenant moves in, should the tenant wish to pay rent monthly this is their right. It can not be stipulated the...

Excuse my ignorance but are they (current PM) not entitled to fees for the 30 days before we officially move to a new PM ?

The principal is who we have been dealing with .... :( We have a figure of AUD150.00 that can be spent in need without reference (certainly not AUD1000 !). We've got a 30 days termination period. So if we do decide to move on, we only have to wait 30 days before a new (hopefully more...

We live on the Southside but property is in Strathpine on the Northside. Will talk to the better half and make a decision over the coming weekend. Thanks for the feedback.

or time to change property managers ? We have one IP and have only had the one PM (only had the IP for a little over 2 years). 1. My PM has been consistantly more difficult to communicate with over the past 6-12 months ... ie doesn't return phone calls or emails until 2 or 3 repeat...

My PM hasn't bothered to chase up the tenants to ascertain their intentions re the lease. The lease officailly expires next Tuesday (08 May) and we still don't know if the tenants are staying or going ? My questions is this. Does the tenant still need to provide 2 weeks notice if they are...

Despite lower than forecasted profits (zero dividends paid to investors for the last 2 years) and general market uncertainty my boss got a 2 million dollar pay rise ..... I work for Qantas.
