Hi Tillie, I'm fairly sure that if you cancel a policy early, the provider sends you out a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the policy. If that's the case, you could switch now :)

Ah, thanks wylie...you're a font of knowledge :)

Yup! Hopefully it doesn't reach us, but that's all we can do now is hope & wait. One confusing thing is that I keep hearing the river will peak at approx 7 or so metres, then the news says it's 21 or so metres. Where are they measuring from; the river bed or street level or both? Is that why...

Heh, heh, you & Mark can begin the bidding war as soon as the place dries out ;) :D

Thanks Amadio! That's great info & just what we needed to shed some light on where we all go from here both for tenants & landlords. (So Mark Laszczuk....if my tenants decide they wanna break their lease due to this, there may be a vacant apartment within walking distance of your work for...

Hi Amadio, Was thinking the same thing today. It's not their fault that it happenned & then neither is it our fault. We would be happy if they advised they had to pay late (I guess that's almost a best case scenario). But perhaps they've had to pay for hotel accom...so why should they...

Thanks again Mark, you're a real treasure!

Just checked the flood maps from links in another thread & we're currently surrounded by water. My street is one of about 2 still not underwater in Milton. Gosh, it feels like I'm watching the tsunami footage from thailand all over again. What's happenning to our beautiful country? Have we...

Good news all your properties are ok, karina :) I guess Suncorp will be getting a whole lotta new business from the likes of you & me over the next few months.

Thank you to everyone on this thread & other threads that provided flood map links & other info. Just watching the news & it looks dreadful out there. Echoing philh's post: our thoughts are with you, hoping there are no more casualties.

Hoping yours is ok too RedCat! And yes, I will be one of those changing landlords' insurance policy to include flood!

Cheers Mark! It is a nice part o the world, close to everything, but quiet & calm. Thanks again for the support :)

Hi Mark, Thank you, thank you, thank you for your info! Our tenants have just signed another year's lease til Jan'12...I think rent is $365, osp, balcony, pool, bbq area....yeah, I think it's the one you're thinking of ;) ....will let you know if they leave :)

Thanks DEC! Appreciate your info very much. A bit relieved you describe this as 'high' too! Thanks Mark Laszczuk...I'm down the end away form the river too so hoping the water stays at the 'bit' rather than the 'lot' end of the scale! Glad you got out ok!

Oh Amadio, Thank you for your reassuring words & the inside info on the area. May I ask where the 'high side of the hill' is you mention...I'm on one of the corners of Gordon St if that makes sense? I will keep checking the link you posted.

Thanks luckyone & Nathan. Yup, to top it off, heard there was going to be a high tide tonight/tomorrow too! Really concerned for all the people up there & feel a bit selfish worrying about my IP at a time like this.

Hi all, We have a flat in Milton (Bris) just off the Park Rd cafe/restaurant area. It's on the 1st floor & I've just read my contents insurance policy which states I'm not covered for flood. (It's fully furnished). :eek: I'm not panicking as it's pretty pointless at this stage. :o Does...
