Thank you Wylie. I agree with your take on it. I felt if I hadn't intervened the PM would have avoided calls/emails and then charge another 17 days rent and have the tenant pay for her mistake ($752). Obviously this is not fair, if a PM insists on 48 hours then that should also be the end...

Thanks Lil Skater. I agree. While the tenant has broken the lease agreement here, the PM has broken the law. Even a drug lab would get 14 days notice. It's easy for a LL to think 48 hours but it was extremely difficult to arrange that. It took 3x people's whole weekend (and what if they had...

From the Tenants Union of Victoria website - I did have a PM friend confirm what you say Perp, although from the TUV website it looks like it must be mutually agreed (and best to get in writing). This is what I was trying to get with my previous email. Good news - I've followed up...

Yes - Vic.

Just got a reply ???

I didn't want to go down this path however unfortunately the PM has been extremely rude and aggressive and has previously changed her story and now claims she never said 48 hours notice was given. I felt like I was talking to an 18 year old. I feared two weeks from today she's also try and...

PM just emailed Notice to Vacate with move out date 19/5 (more than 14 days). I emailed this back:

OK - just got the notice to vacate. It says 14 days...

The call was around 3pm Thurs, so 3pm Sat. We were spot on.

Hey guys an update. Did the final move out and clean today. As we had no response from the REA, we went down to their office in person to talk with them. Nobody in the office could help however the receptionist did (eventually) get the PM on the phone. After three days of calling and...

Another call (left message with reception) and another email to the PM...

Thank you Skater (and everyone else) for the information. Kudos :) She's already half moved out and the other half will be today. Fingers crossed in light of the illegal 48 hour eviction claiming the bond, the rent in advance and no re-let fee should be smooth sailing. Right now the PM has...

Sorry - silly me. Yes, Fixed. Busy day!

Periodic - due to end in Sept. I can't think of any. Question - What do people think about paying the pro-rate re-letting fee?

Here goes... let's see what happens. Hopefully rent/bond are returned and it all ends nicely. I checked the place out last night, still looks brand new. Email to the PM:

Good idea. I will ask her to get a formal notice to vacate. An early exit suits everyone (although she needs more than 48 hours to move, as the earliest she can get a mover is this Saturday). The real issue is the months rent and bond refunded.

Thanks for the link simtr. I would have thought it would be this one - It would be stretch to say anyone was in danger and there was certainly no malicious damage. The quick move out period isn't too bad given she'll save on rent (as long as it's refunded, which is the real concern).

Yes. The main concern is the months rent just paid and the bond. With AirBnB being the hot topic at the moment I'll keep everyone posted.

There is no argument on this. She wasn't supposed to sub let. Question is - is 48 hours even legal and what about the months rent and bond? My opinion is the rent and the bond should be refunded, minus any normal reasons you'd deduct money from a bond (damage, etc, which there is none). To...
