THanks for everyone's reply, The fact that the tenant was in arrears was enough for us to just treat them nicely and let them find a property to move on if they could not afford to stay and no troubles (tribunal, etc etc). We have been lenient with them and agent wasn't any help in rushing...

Thanks for reply, I totally agree (even though I am a tenant myself and we have certainly dislike the idea that tenant has such 'power' in some cases). So does this mean this 7 day rule that he referred as 'law' is a load of croc? And if not, is it compulsory for us to give them a chance to...

Hi all, Just quick question regarding our tenants moving out. They have left nothing cleaned and minor damages (missing blinds, holes and nails in walls) for which I have asked to claim back from bond. Now that they are gone, agents say they have 7 business days to rectify this. In...

Tenants are being served notice for not paying rent, agent has given termination notice, but I no longer want a tenant in there and start doing my own renovations (old run down house), I got in an agreement with them 1 year ago: 1. Do I need to give notice to PM to say I don't need a new...

Well the idea of raised rent was so 1. we can get the tenant to move (if I got raised rental after a short period, I would start looking elsewhere) and 2. gave us bit more money instead of spending more on tribunal costs. Either way it took the third notice to vacate, and the issue is tenant...

Thanks Sez, I will get onto Fairtrading - last time I called, they referred CTTT for chasing up the bond (even its released) and ACCC against the agent, I thought I'd just get my money and chas up the bond with old tenants but unfortunately its not working (no contact of tenant), It's like...

Not sure if this belongs to legal or PM section, but basically I have situation where it has gone longer than it really needs to be. Over the past year and a half we have been trying to vacate a tenant. The tenant is under our PM bankstown professional. beginning roughly in 2012 October...

@thatbum Sorry "they" are meant to be referring to agent 1- their fault for releasing without permission - What can be done about this? @Rixter He has money, we know where he works and what he does from the initial interview from the agent. But that is besides the point, whether he has or not...

@simtr I am thinking that too, I've pushed this to my solicitor who doesn't really specialise in tenancy matter but want to see if we can claim back the cost of chasing the bond in tribunal since its their fault for releasing without my authority. @Rixter I would love to do that and just let...

Yes that's correct Agent 2 submitted bond claim 11th sept Agent 1 decides to release bond back to tenant on 17th sept So the only option for me is to go tribunal but agent 2 will charge a lot for going to the hearing on my behalf and also the fees for tribunal. I wonder if going there myself...

We didn't agree to not claiming the bond - why else would we have changed agents to help us do so and signed, dated and sent to Fairtrading a week before it was released. It is a $3000 loss when they only have half the bond money. Going tribunal would probably add another $400? can that be...

Hi all, Need some advise or your opinion please! We have a tenant in one of our properties for 2 years, he has been paying on time ... and that is really the only good thing but did everything that may skim the 'illegal' side of things. Just a year ago, there was a building crack, so...

@scha9799 That was the initial idea - but to subdivide at this current time wouldn't be worth it with houses selling in the area at relatively low prices - theres no reason to get a unit over a house with land under a 70-90k difference? Maybe in the next 10 years again ... @twobobsworth...

Hey all, Have just popped in after a nice holiday trip over to Bali - one word - cheap! I have been looking at a block of units in Griffith NSW, being a population over 20k (from ABS), a town with no flood within the center and with this particular property can come across a near 9.5%...

Guildford has a higher crime rate that of Harris Park. HP has a lot of indians, the area is smaller Guildford has a lot of Middle eastern, the area is much bigger Demographically speaking, I would choose HP as its much closer to Parra, but you are looking at higher maintenance costs. I have...
