No. The tenants who took us to court had their cases dismissed. Their parting words were they are still going to sue us for personal injuries claims. We believe it's all bluff and haven't heard anything since. Those same tenants are claiming worker's compensation with their previous...

Is it me?! :confused: Our new tenant moved in Monday 22nd Feb On the Wednesday they advised they're moving out Where's the "smilies" for swearing & scratching my head?! They can't sleep at night because of the dam. They knew it was there. We've reduced their lease to 3 months. I found...

Got the bond Just last week our PM credited our bank account with the bond money I applied for through the courts. No-one has ever contacted me & I wouldn't accept any financial contribution from anyone other than those previous tenants. Don't ever let something like this put you off...

$1587 worth of their $1600 bond came to me for refilling freshwater / drinking water tanks, gardening, carpet cleaning. They wanted to move out & we wanted them out. They just wouldn't budge until we gave in to their demands. That's why it's been a long drawn out procedure & had to go to a...

Funny you ask about new tenants Joshyboi. We've been overseas for 3 weeks, just checked our emails a few days ago & the current tenant, who moved in only a couple of months ago is breaking their lease!! Big marital bust up. Oh well. Property Manager emailed me realising we were away just to keep...

They haven't all been on this subject thank goodness! Still waiting on how to use our parents equity for more IP's & there's always something else on the go ;);) In saying that, where will I find "how to live in an IP owned by my Company". We're considering leaving WA for QLD (any room in...

Thank you Marg. I thought that may be the case. Better than dealing direct if it happened. Still, I hardly thought about it today, for a change. Good though :) I'm sure it's all bluff. Cheers

All Cases Dismissed WOW! What wonderful support thank you very much. I didn't expect to turn on the computer to update & see that. I'm touched. Truly. I didn't even get my mug on the video link (I'm 4000km away) as apparently the Magistrate opened the session and dismissed everything within...

Now THEY'RE dismissing the case! Email today - previous tenant dismissing case. No longer pursuing case through Magistrate's Court as I rejected their $5000 offer to get rid of them. They're now going for litigation for two personal injury claims in the District & Supreme Court...

Got legal advice After obtaining further legal advice, I've replied to the previous tenant, confirmed receipt of their faxes & emails via email, reconfirmed my acknowledgement the matter is set for trial and that I await the determination by the Magistrate. There is no arguable case. We...

They KNOWI'm not negotiable & it is up to the court to decide what happens. We have NO CHOICE but to go to court on Thursday. It's an official trial. If I don't go, it's contempt & the Magistrate could favour their application. I'll use their latest fax / emails for strength if it comes up...

Exactly. That's why I'm not responding at all, asked our property managers not to respond on our behalf and will deal with it at the trial on Thursday.

We've been saying that all along! WE WILL NOT BE PAYING A CENT. NOTHING CAN BE JUSTIFIED. Giving them anything is equivalent to throwing money in a fire! It's equivalent to awarding my children for bad behaviour. It aint gonna happen!

Thanks for your comments Peter. Are you suggesting I pay them out to get rid of them? Paying them a cent for unjustified claims to me is equivalent to just handing anyone on the street $5000. Infact, I'd rather do that. Aint that the truth.

WA Residential Tenancy Act court issues are heard in the Civil Court. I'm the owner. Although we have a property manager, the Magistrate has ordered that I appear before them for the trial. It is personal. They want my money. They're suing ME. *&@(# .........yes! We were originally breached...

Is this a threat? Minus personal details, this is an email I received last night, which I won't be responding to. I then received it via fax today, with a covering letter. Those details below aswell. ..........and this is the fax message from today with another copy of the...

I thought I'd exhausted alot of avenues but never thought of that - because I think they're bluffing & will try anything to make me & our Property Manager's look bad.

To be honest, the thought had crossed my mind during one of my evil thought sessions, but I'd never drag myself down to their level. Wouldn't surprise me if they get to court on the 17th with their own letter.

Court update "Kath Russell" IS my username. It's my nickname & maiden name. It's still me though ;). Only workmates & my hubby know me by that name. Still, I am mindful of what I write & totally comfortable with everything I've written. We've had a change of plans. After further discussions...

Thank you TheAnalyst. Sorry to hear you're in the same boat, but to hear of another experience is helpful. I had a bit of a disagreement with a friend today about her thoughts about my sharing this information on an online forum (here). She asked me "what if you get caught out writing about...
