Hi all,
I have just been to my IP for the first time since tenants left in Aug. They rented the house furnished but there are some things the agent did not note before the bond was released.
Door handles through the gyprock walls (even with door stops), broken hoover, plastic outdoor chair missing one leg, cracked tiles, 2 broken bed coasters on one bed - now slanting and propped up with cardboard, missing set of 6 glass tumblers and missing 3 white mugs from a set of 6.
Does their bond cover damage to these items since they rented it furnished? They paid 6 weeks in bond becasue its a furnished property. The agent noticed that the set of 6 glass tumblers were missing so she bought a new set of 6 from the bond money but missed the mugs, outdoor chair, tile, walls and bed.
On the weekend I was there, I bought replacement mugs and outdoor chair since I it was going to be rented for race week and so I needed these items on the weekend before they moved in today.
Now that the bond has been released, can I get reimbursed for the items I paid for (chair and mugs) and have them organise the repairs of the tile, walls and bed? The cost of the repairs not my responsbility.
The agents know that these were the only tenants I have had in the place because I have an exclusive agreement with them and its been vacant for most of this year.
Thanks in advance,
PETA
