    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    Yes, either that, in order to make money each time a tenant vacates or just sheer incompetence. I'm leaning heavily towards the former in our case.

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    The correspondence relates to our disputing their final condition report along with photos, the evidence appears to be in my favour. Like I said, I'll await receipt of the bond money in full before doing any victory dance.

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    I spoke to the new property manager who is now handling the property. The previous agent is no longer with the company. According to this property manager: "We do not believe we have a case against you and will not be proceeding with VCAT. It appears the previous agent did not inspect the...

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    I've been reading the TUV website and I just realised that I was only given one UNSIGNED copy of the entry condition report. I remember asking her and she said that it would be signed by her and a copy given to me only after I signed and returned it within 3 business days. I was actually...

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    Thanks so much for your support and advice, Wylie. As someone who is obsessed with cleanliness/tidiness (almost a disorder with me!) their baseless allegations have come as a huge shock. Thank God for photos. By the way, can they keep adding to the "Final inspection report" indefinitely...

    The photos and report were sent using yahoo mail - so can't tamper with either contents or the dates. As regards date photo taken not sure if this can be tampered with - date modified maybe but not date taken.

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    Spoken like an agent...lol A 5 min inspection during OFI is not exactly enough time to see every scuff and dirt mark. I had no problems with the untidiness as I cleaned it up after we moved in. Have you read my post at all? The place is MUCH tidier now than it was before AND it exceeds...

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    I don't intend being their next victim. Against every allegation, I've prepared a response along with before and after pictures. Will be emailing it today and also asking for my bond to be returned in full failing which I will see them at the tribunal!

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    Thanks. We were not aware that the power connection required 3-5 business days which is where I made a mistake. In any case all the photos were taken on 03/04/2011, our stuff arrived from overseas and was delivered on 04/04/2011 (I have the Crown movers delivery receipt as proof) and we...

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    We were in the house from 08/04/2011 until 31/03/2012. There is no wear and tear - the house is in a much tidier state than before. There is no question of a concession, I want my entire bond back. In any case I have all the photographic evidence showing just how filthy the place was in 2011...

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    Have you seen the Before and After pictures? There are NO cleaning issues. The place is tidier than before. One day late, doesn't matter as the pictures and issues have already been documented on email. There were absolutely no issues during the tenancy. We left the place as we bought our own...

    Landlord trying to relieve us off our rental bond

    This is a longish rant, so please bear with me :) Our ex-landlord did an inspection over the weekend and has back with a loooong laundry list through their RE agent. Bear in mind that the owners and the agent had only done a thorough inspection in the first week of Feb and never complained...
