My PM is getting people through to the property today. She said the below is an issue. What's the best solution? Rip the tub and replace? :(

:( I guess this is a rant in someway. Anyone has IP here and can advise the vacancy period? PM asid 4-5 weeks however might be longer as it just came out in xmas. Long story short, property was left in poor state by the previous tenant. So after clean up and a bit of freshen up, it was...

Pardon if this is silly question. What needs to be in the termination notice to Property Manager? Their notice period is 30 days, but the property currently doesn't have any tenant. I still need them to handle the tribunal on 1 Dec, bond payment plus future arrear payments from the tenant...

So, previous tenant is in arrears with big cleaning bill. Current PM applied for NCAT though I'm not sure it'll result in anything. Would it be complicated if I change agent now? I.e. can I keep the current agent to process the NCAT and receive payments (if any) from their system, while going...

Happy to say that at least one of my property is now up and on the market ready to rent, now just one more property to tackle by the end of this year. Something positive in the midst of what I find as chaos :o That said, the selling agent photos (on the bottoms) are very good, so it might not...

Just double checking as I am not sure what's the normal price is. The gutter in Rutherford property is 2/3 rusted and way past it used by date, the roofers/ gutter installer said it's cheaper to replace than patch. Quote comes at $2k for Colorbond, total length 45.2m plus 4 downpipes. Sounds...
