Totally agree! The real question is whether we are willing to accept this scenario and turn a blind eye. True, although if it was just dirty it may not be so bad. However the downstairs area is really getting knocked around with dogs inside and the build up of smell could be a challenge to...

Certainly an option...and I like the bunnings idea. :D Will wait to review the tenant file and make a final decision.

Yes we did have a clause. We had also done an inspection of the property 10 days prior to settlement. Having said that I totally agree that we took an unnecessary risk by not delaying settlement subject to a satisfactory final pre-settlement inspection. Our PM has the file and we are...

Hi David. If only you could see our tenants with the dogs...I think it would be fair to say that these 2 dogs are like surrogate children to the couple whose names are on the lease, and to even ask them to move them outside where the pet annexure allows would almost certainly be a deal breaker...

Would any PM's out there have any comments or advice on the plan of attack we have outlined in post #11 on this thread? We still have reservations (due to inexperience) about whether having a vacant property in say November (if the tenants leave early) is a good or bad time for finding new...

Thanks for the tip seashell1, I hadn't thought of that. Sounds like we will need quotes to clean up the yard, clean inside, clean the carpets including the urine issue, deodorise inside to remove the doggy smell, and spray for fleas. We will get all this done whether we can recover any...

More great advice Wylie! Thanks heaps for the reply. Hubby and I have been chatting about our 'plan of attack' and based on the great suggestions on this thread this is what we think we will do: 1. Have our PM do the inspection, with the main aim being to take photos to record the current...

Sounds like a good idea. We could use the original condition report as a basis for our cleaning checklist - let's hope it has photos with it, as the property was brand new at the time. My only reservation is whether having a vacant property in say November (if they left earlier) is a good or...

Advice via the vendor's solicitor was that payments are up to date, but we never did get to see a copy of the ledger pre-settlement. Previous PM's file should have reached our PM late today, so I will know for sure by Monday. We have a landlord's policy through Terri Scheer, which would...

Thanks for the replies. This has been my gut feeling as well. The property is in NSW, so I believe the required notice period for ending a fixed term agreement at its expiry is 14 days (counted from the day after the notice is served). Once the fixed term has ended we would have to give 60...

Hi everyone I'm after some opinions on the following... We settled this week on a 4bed townhouse in Sydney. The tenants are on a fixed term lease until 13 December. During the contract period we did an inspection and found: - there are 4 people (2 couples) living in the property but only...
