Our supers started the lease for one of our tenants in Dec. The tenants have never paid on time, but always caught up within the regulated time period (30 days).We instructed our supers to do nothing.When we arrived back this month, she had just went over the 30 days. I called and said I was...

Still nothing illegal in getting a tenant to provide me with an address. She can claim I said anything:D...what proof does she have. All she has is an envelope with a few daffodils printed on it. Nothing else..except a return address of a PO Box.

The ex-tenant signed for the registered letter. She has now been officially served !!! :) Now we wait and see if she shows up for court..otherwise they will hear the case without her being there. All I did was called her mobile phone number, and she gave me her mailing address

cut the paint with a utility knife

I'm not worried:D

Having just arrived back in Canada last week, we started dealing with our tenants personally. Our superintendants had been doing it for the past 8 months. This one particular tenant moved into one of our properties at Xmas time. So we hadn't met her before. She was about 5 weeks late on...

Good to know we can agree sometimes :) and we have a very simialar style when dealing with tenants. Our tenants wouldn't even have the right to terminate their lease. Most are on a Fixed Term Lease, and here, it means exactly that. There is no provision for a tenant to break a lease, ..unless...

Given our history of disagreeing at times:D , I can now see how you may think otherwise, but I was actually in complete agreement with you. You said exactly, what we we do ourselves. Ace in the Hole, I would agree, if you put their rent up slightly more than you would for anyone else...

Monopoly, This type of attitude is what separates many a property from CF- to CF+. We also fix anything that is not safe. Ace in the Hole, Your heart might be in the right place, but your tenants intimidated you, and you buckled. Your property will not gain any extra rent by having a...

morg, Spoken by a reasonable LL !!

You are correct. If the doors cannot be secured now, the LL does need to fix that. Deciding on what type of lock is the LLs choice, if it doesn't specifically say deadbolt in the ACT. What you "think" a LL should do, doesn't matter. What is he required to do. Generally a LL will install the...

Yes, North America does include USA..Canada and Mexico. We are not all "sue happy" like the States. :)

lol...you beat me to it !!! Like calling an Aussie a Kiwi?

You are wrong. I'm Canadian, not American ewwwww:p Big difference in attitude. We are running a business. Many times we do accommodate a tenant. We are not in the habit of changing perfectly good locks to make a tenant happy. It just wouldn't happen with us. Just so you know..all of our...

If it is only because the LL is in business, then that is not a good enough reason. If I go to furniture leasing store and lease a bed, sign all the papers, and then decide I want delivery & set up included in the price, do you think I should be accommodated? NO...unless I pay for it. They may...

Kaos, I assume you are either a tenant, new LL, or you have 2 IPs at the most? After awhile you get a bit disheartened with tenants. Seems everything is fine, when they put their application in for the property, but soon decide it isn't good enough, and want improvements...of course at no...

Perp, I guess, in a round about way, you were agreeing with me then? I misunderstood your clarification in the last post.Apologises. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the OP needs to contact a couple of insurance companies and get proof that a deadbolt is not required.....just a lock that...

Perp, Here , you and I will differ again. As you pointed out, you state it is the Tenants Union of Victoria saying anything other than a deadbolt isn't secure. Doesn't matter what a Union says, the RTA says you only need it to be "secure". If it meant a deadbolt, it would state a deadbolt.

I still wouldn't be installing a deadlock, as I don't like to be pushed by tenants. If it is just because of insurance reasons, check on whether insurance is available without deadbolts.Provide this info to the tenant and also inform them should it proceed to Tribunal you will also be submitting...

We may seem to be negative at times when we refer to tenants, but it usually with frustration. We generally do not mention the good ones..and we do have them.They are overshadowed by the ones who stop paying rent, and to add insult they destroy our property, costing us even more money. Try...
