    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    FYI, I put a new air con in the IP last month. Tenants weren't expecting it, but knowing that they just a baby, I thought it would be helpful.

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    Well, almost over my head. Though, my question was answered and I agreed to get the aircon fixed based on the answers here, checking with fair trading and also reading more about it. There was a fair argument going on between Matt and Perp. I did not 'wash my hands' off the original question...

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    Let me explain here: The loan is on variable rate. When the loan repayment started, it was at >6% and the P+I deducted at that rate. Now the interest rates gone down, but the repayment still at the original rate (I am getting it changed tomo), which is more than the minimum required. That's...

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    At the moment, the repayment on PPOR loan is more than the minimum required. There is just 4K accumulated in the redraw because of that. Are there any tax issues, if I redraw that amount and place it in my offset account. Part (or whole) of it will be used for doing the repair work on my IP...

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    I have some money parked in my redraw account. I can redraw it without incurring any fee. Since, I will be using this for repair work in the IP, is it tax deductible?

    I have the rentcoverplatinum from EBM and it has fusion cover. However, it does not cover "Leakage of refrigerant gas and maintenance of refrigerant driers" It says "For air-conditioning units, we will pay for the replacement of the refrigerant driers, only if replacement of the refrigerant...

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    I may try to use the 'increase in rent tactic'. I was going to install the aircon in the future anyways, but I am pissed because the REA and leasing manager did not provide me a good understanding of the rules at that time. The consensus is that I should repair/replace the aircon asap. So, I...

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    Regas is what the prev owners mentioned. The system being old and not used for a long time, a simple regas might just open a can of worms leading to further (frequent) repairs .

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    Thanks Propertunity. This is my first IP and I am learning the traits. I will keep that in mind for the next time. The leasing manager would definitely agree to what he told me. They should also have a recording, if they record the phone calls.

    In addition to my initial pest control query, I have another one for clarification. BTW, I am getting the pest control done. There was a faulty (no gas) air con in the main room of the IP. I was told my the REA that it does not work when I bought it. They REA company also became by PM. The...
