    Registering for inspections - cutting out time wasters or limiting applicant pool?

    Up until this week we would only do inspections if people were registered all we required was a name and phone number. Just incase we had to contact them and cancel or reschedule.

    Tenant refuses to pay any more rent!

    They can sign the bond over to you by filling out the bond claim form with zero to them and signing it with the balance to yourself. If they dissappear you will have to apply to VCAT for the bond and if they agree you fill in the same form and attach the ruling to it. cheers
