Your Authority with the agent should note if and what amount of bond is to be charged. if the agent has not acted under the authority they would be liable

bottom line you should only have been charged once the leases were signed so I would be requesting the money back from the agent as you have paid for something that has not happened

Centerpay, they actually pay the agent rent less the charge/fee So the agent only receives e.g. $200 less $0.99 = $199.01

Remember they all have an expiry date. I know i wont climb a ladder and check the date on the alarm. Suggest you check the dates & record

Just met an assessor (AAMI) at a rental property this week that we took over management on. Cigarette burns on the carpets not covered as they are not deemed malicious! Would have been covered by some of the specialist landlord insurers under accidental. My argument was yes it could be an...

Flyscreens for windows cost between $40-50 per window. For myself i would want to have at least 1 flysceen in each room so windows can be opened. I would not worry about them for the sliding doors. so if the house has 6 rooms the cost would be around $240-$300.

Normally the report is done for the owner of the property. this would be sent to the owner with photos etc. We do not send the report to the tenant but the tenant would get a letter advising if all was ok and if there were any issues that the tenant needed to address.

that would only apply if a property was purchased as an investment, not if an owner lived at the property for a few years and then moved out and rented the property

VCAT will deduct from the replacement cost depreciation so will depend how old the carpet is.
