I just got this from my PM:
received notice from an organization who assist tenants when they are in trouble or need assistance and they have informed me that due to financial circumstances, they wish to terminate their lease as they have lost their job and cannot afford the rent.
They have put two options to us…
Terminate the lease by giving 28 days notice without any other penalties (Lease break fees etc)
Or offer a reduced rent for the remaining of the lease.
Or they could take us to VCAT?
hmmmmmm,
Can they do that? I don't even get to keep their bond?
