All I'm asking is proof of statistics which are surprising to me and addressing the hyperbole issue. If there is facts I'll be surprised but accept it. But, like you I don't really do long term residential for reasons posted in this and other reasons. I make much better money from...

Got a link for those stats? And what do you view as a default. But even taking that stat as gospel, it is not a statistical certainty like you make out. Hence, hyperbole. The fine is a maximum. Not the automatic fine. Hence hyperbole. If I had a run of things like that I'd look at my...

Potentially. I also feel that they are very strong negative experiences which you are passing off as something that most, if not at all, will experience. The very definition of hyperbole.

What was that about hyperbole again?

Hence why I asked. I'm in the same boat.

Yep. I had a brilliant PM when I rented at Avoca Beach. The house started to slide down the hill when a peir gave way, but both the LL and PM were great about it. Makes the world of difference. I don't know how to improve the situation - the money is negligible and it seems that most...

Out of interest, what kind of malicious damage have you experienced? I've gone through 12 tenants and only had one instance of any damage (not including a scratch in the floor etc) and that was a couple with an autistic kid who didn't want to move and kicked holes in the wall. That was $200...

I think both sides have issues. And most of those issues are down to poor PM. I have had both good and bad PMs as both a tenant and a landlord. A good PM deals with things efficiently and quickly. A bad PM creates a bad situation for both parties. You have a PM that doesn't pass on repair...

The problem with the consultation process is that he who complains the loudest gets the attention from the politicians. I think both sides are guilty of venting a bit in this thread :o

I disagree with your view. That doesn't mean it isn't worth having the debate about it. I don't view the large bond as being workable because of the huge cost implications and the actual feasibility of government departments administering it. Middle ground maybe? Bond hasn't been an issue for...

Oh - meant to say this about the NSW law. Tenants advocate wandering around the CTTT said how unfair the law was for tenants and how one sided things were (seemed a bit taken aback when I said I was a landlord as well as a renter) I hear other LLs complaining about how unfair and one sided...

Nope. I had issues getting my bond back for no good reason (PM played ignorance about the legislation concerning lease breaks in certain situations, despite fact sheets and legal advice sent through). I could live without the 1800 and pay another 2k bond easily enough. If it was 5850 in...
