Actually I think Mr Plant is thinking about one of the applications, or at least not dismissing it out of hand as I am inclined to do. It is the one that is a personal friend of the ex-tenant. She has offered to pay six months in advance and at face value that would appear as though we can't...

Yeah, I know what you mean. This lease ran out in late December and we agreed to the extra couple of weeks to get us out of the December slack time but now they have dragged the process out even further so we missed the busy period in January as well. Quality applications are proving to be a...

Hi Lizzie, that's exactly what has been happening with these tenants, dragging rent payment out until the last possible moment then the PM has to start the whole process again. It's just been a catch up situation for probably a year or so now. Anyway they have finally vacated, but, they...

Here we go again. No rent received since the payment plan (that they signed off on) finished, now 7 days in arrears again with the usual excuses. Centrelink stuffed up their payments. These people are so unlucky, Centrelink seems to do that to them a lot. It's a wonder the two months of the...

Good advice. Our insurance company is one of those and we are now operating on a periodic lease. Also they won't pay the first four weeks because that should be covered by the bond. There's another stuff up in our situation, the bond hasn't been updated as regularly as the rent so now it...

I agree with you but it ain't gonna happen. :) We have already been asked if we would consider letting them stay on if they stuck with the payment plan, and we said no. I like that past performance/present performance quote, might use that if we are asked again.

An update. Only a week to go now before the tenants are supposed to vacate. They are paid up until then (all bar a couple of days) so the most we can lose is a couple of days rent. We aren't anticipating any trouble with them refusing to leave but I guess it is watch this space again. They...

Hi Jacaranda, They have been religiously sticking to the payment plan so far, which I have to admit surprises me. We won't be changing our minds about evicting them though. They seem to be resigned to the fact that they have to move so hopefully it won't have to go to court, fingers...

An update .. The principal of the company has got into the act now and he has drawn up a payment plan for the tenants. The PM has told him that they will probably catch up like they were told to, but will no doubt just fall into arrears again, so he thinks this might be a better idea. The...

Yikes Kath, I just read through your thread, what a nightmare. :( Lovely property by the way. Thanks for your good wishes, and the same to you. I hope everything works out ok and we both get better tenants next time around.

Yeah, that's one reason we agreed to give them an extra couple of weeks, or let them out of the lease early, to avoid that time, but we are going to do a little bit to the place anyway, put in airconditioning and a new hot water system so if it is empty a couple of weeks so be it. The PM issues...

We have long term tenants in one of our IP's and they have been consistently late payers but over the past six months or so they have got really bad. They are always in arrears now it is just the length of time they are in arrears that changes. The longest time was four weeks, the shortest one...
