Its possible.. they have about 45 days left on the statutory 60 days that I have to give them.. I did empty a LOT of stuff out of the shed that was still there's, I deemed it rubbish and put it out on the kerb.. 3 days later the ex-Tenants father collected some of it, maybe he fancied it for...

I'd never do it.. the mental picture and warm fuzzy feeling I got was satisfying enough :) I'll extract the dollars I can and move on :)

As I self manage I dont have access to check or list on TICA.. But I have been phoning around all the PM's I know in the area and giving them the word :) I have an ACE left up my sleeve though! :) I still have a shipping container full of their most prized possessions.. I undertook to let...

<groan> :)

Beware the Fish Mr and Mrs ChemDry rang me to tell me about a strong smell they'd noticed a few days after moving in.. a bag of fish bait left in the ceiling space, right near the manhole cover.. a goodbye present from my feral-arse Tenants.. Mental Note to self: After future evictions...

XXXX would have even tasted great yesterday :)

Thanks heaps for taking the time to dig into that! Fixed!

Must just be the FireFox users having problems :)

It seems the images arent showing up in this post properly.. Dunno why.. they work for me.. Here's the same posting on my blog: http://www.duncanmargetts.com/blog/index.php?p=470 With working images..

Hi Kris, Very sage words indeed.. I was driving home this afternoon thinking.. What did I do wrong over the course of this Tenancy? I came to the conclusion I'd tried to be TOO helpful.. I went back over my notes, 3 seperate payment plans agreed to.. all eventually failed. I'd had a...

Hi, I appreciate everyones well-wishes! :) The New Tenants moved into today.. as pleased as punch they were! The Old Tenants have spent the day getting more of their stuff out of the shed.. very sullen, surly look on their faces, lots of mean comments between the two ex-tenants.. all is...

Make that SEVEN days! :) I turned up at the house this morning to meet the Carpet Cleaner.. he's a lovely man.. late 50's, neat, polite, thorough, the friendliest guy you could ever meet.. He's cleaned carpets for me on about 8 other occasions. He takes one look around the back yard and...

I tried surfing once but I think I got a dud board.

Happy Families Ah geez.. The Father is holding the keys to the shipping container and shed for his Daughter (I have no idea why).. The Useless Boyfriend SMS'ed me last night and says he needs access to the shed but doesnt want to visit Father to get keys.. Like I'm going to manage that...

Swing by on the weekend, the big skip will be there.. <fx: evil laugh>

Not sure on hire.. they are cheap enough to buy! That one was $3K, it cost me $200 to move it from the last site to that one.. but it was only 10klm or so between the two. I'm not sure if I got mates rates on the container a friend organised it.. he's a regular wheeler 'n dealer between his huge...

Hi Kristine, I'm still hedging by bets on a renegotiation of a setback with the Council.. one side of the site is a MAIN road.. the council wants a 9M setback.. for no apparent reason I feel.. I have a letter from the State Roads authority saying that they have no plans, ever, to widen the...

The container is mine.. I have Dev Approval for the rear and side of that site.. I'm going to be doing the first and second fix carpentry and electrical myself and I'm slowly collecting toilets, robes, light fittings etc.. need somewhere to store them and my tools.. hence the shipping container...

It seems to get easier the bigger your portfolio gets.. I used to get concerned over unmowed grass when I had 2-3.. when I had 4-5 I used to get worried over a vacancy.. as the portfolio grew, less and less worried me. I have a new one in the pipeline, a really swish, very expensive beach-house...

Not much to report The Tenants seem to have taken SOME of their stuff from the shed.. Because 48hrs have now elapsed since I took vacant possession, I'm legally entitled to dump the rest (due to its low value).. I dont have time to work on this until Saturday when I have a BFS being delivered...
