One of mine just came back from a 2 months overseas holiday (parents and three kids), got a new car last week and a whole trailer of new furniture. Cried poor last month when the rent went up $10pw. They also cried poor the year before that when it went up $5. I think it's just an automatic...

That's one of my personal favourites. Don't forget; light bulbs, weeds, window screens and let's be honest - would a fresh coat of paint kill you? I'm a reasonable man - I'm willing to take a rent reduction until these are all sorted.

Time for that morning cup of coffee Skater! :p

- Brought in your five Doberman's and requested a rent decrease as the backyard isn't really big enough for them? - Sublet two of the bedrooms out to those 'mates' you met in the pub last week? - Informed them you're probably going to be late with rent payments for the next month or two as...

So BuildingBlocks........have you trashed the place yet? :D

Have to agree. Even as an 'evil landlord' (:D) you never know when life's going to turn around and smack you in the face. Stuff happens and you may need to desperately move back into one of your IP's. You're all set for the date, have given the required notice and then been told by your PM that...

Yup - or when they are already. One of your PM's is included in my above comments - wasn't interested in telling me anything about the property or answering questions "come to the open on xxx and fill out an application." You may think 'oh well' but I certainly wouldn't ever entertain the...

Ha, know what you mean mate - went through this rigmarole middle of last year. Unbelievable - you'd swear half the PM's didn't actually want to lease these places. If these were my PM's I would have been horrified - places empty for over a month and I ring to say I'm interested and ready to move...
