Just arrived home after more heavy negotiating with both the former tenant and future tenant of the smaller ugly duckling sheds.
The skip bin guy who went bankrupt wants to stay for another month to clean up his "stockpile", and see if he can wangle out of paying me any rent, and the other guy wants to move in ASAP, but first ensure that the 1,000 odd tonnes worth of cr*p on the property currently is removed.
The new tenant, the proprietor for the heavy haulage company, thinks that the worm of a REA he's been dealing with was a pencil neck and doesn't want anything further to do with him. He swore a bit and carried on for a while, until he realised I wasn't like the REA. We then had a really good chinwag where reality dominated the conversation. It reminded me of conversing with one of the many rig workers I have to deal with every day.
In the end we got on just swimmingly, and agreed to meet at the property on Saturday and sign the Lease paperwork and he'd hand over the bank cheque for $ 60K for the bond. That'll come in handy. I think he'll turn out alright, although he said he hadn't been a tenant before, so reading the 42 page Lease I wrote and sent him tonight may come as a bit of a shock to his system. He'll get over it.
Anyway, that's what I was doing while the rest of Perth was watching ACA and Today Tonight....
