How is the hunt for a new tenant going Jaycee? I hope you find someone great quickly!!!! Have you considered finding a local agent who will do a 'letting only' arrangement with you? Will save you taking your annual leave to lease out a property, make someone else do the time consuming stuff!!! :)

I have had many more cases with people calling to book appointments to view properties and not showing lately. Take their number and give them a call earlier in the day to confirm the viewing prior to going to confirm numbers attending. Anyone who then confirms and doesn't show? Put them on the...

Hooray! I am really happy to hear you've found yourself a new tenant and at an extra $10 per week :). Hopefully your other property will lease quickly, a lot easier with tenants leaving using the correct procedure!!

Hang in there, at risk of sounding like a cliche PM it is better to have the property vacant for a little longer to find a good tenant than just to put someone totally unsuitable in there to lease it quickly. I don't know what the rental market is doing where you are but just recently I have...

Dazz - Lesson learned? Always question advice from DOCEP :). Jaycee - Pleased to hear that you now know what is going on! Good luck finding your new tenants !!

Double check that you don't need permission to dispose of goods, don't want them coming back to sue if you've disposed of things.

It's like calling consumer affairs here, you speak to two different people and get two different answers there is very little consistancy and so too often mistakes are made based on their advice. Depends on when the billing period is for the tenants as to whether they will be able to catch...

Here in VIC we do need to get an order from the tribunal that the tenant has absconded but we can also send a notice of entry so we can present to tribunal reasonable belief that they have left? Talk to the neighbours, neighbours are often a wealth of knowledge and you've said before they can be...

I've got my fingers crossed for you. I hope she took her stuff with her too!!

May end up being a good thing if she has split - you don't need to evict her and you can get some good tenants in!!

Can you send a notice of entry to check if she has taken off?

Keep sending your notices and as soon as you can, evict. It isn't worth the trouble for you to have such an un-reliable tenant. Be happy that your insurance is happy - that doesn't happen as often as one might think.....

While I do agree in part with what tobe said if you are going to self manage I don't think you have done badly at all. You're on top of your notices, know which ones to send and when - your biggest problem is your tenant being slack with rent! A slack tenant is a problem with a PM or without...

Still no rent?? From the sounds of things you will be hearing some pretty interesting stuff from the neighbours when she does go!

I've just read the thread and what a nightmare! Best of luck tomorrow, I hope it all turns out well, she hands over the cash and the house is spotless! Deltaberry - Remember market rent depends on a lot of things, you say the tenants have been in there for over 10 years? That would suggest to...
