Hi Everyone,
I recently rented a property in North Perth. The lease was a transfer from another person living there. What I didn't know was that he also gained the lease through a transfer, as did the person before him.
When i took over the lease I was a little worried due to the bond being over $3000 though the real estate agent assured me that the house was in reasonable condition and that no existing damage i.e marks on the walls would be my responsibility.
When i took over the property the gardens were a mess, there were oil stains in the garage and a few other things which during my time in the house I cleaned and maintained.
Now come to the end of the lease which was a month ago now and was only just able to get a copy of the property condition report last night, I have seen that the real estate company is charging me around $1500 for various things.
Now i would be happy to pay a reasonable amount for these things, the thing is the property condition report has no signatures on it and I'm not sure if its the official one or not.
My question here is, with the property condition report, does it have to be acknowledged and signed by both tenant and agent. The property condition report I was given has no signatures and for all i know could have been typed up during the 3 weeks it took for them to provide me with it.
Whats the law with PCR's do they have to be signed and if they aren't signed is it possibly invalid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to contact Riewa for the last few days with no answer.
Also please let it be known in no way am I trying to get away with providing the owners compensation to fix their place up after tenants living there.
Kind Regards,
tbmabel
