Hi Guys,
Just after some quick guidance here. Not sure who is financially liable, the body corporate, the tenant or the agent that failed to report the damage.
Basically the property sits at the end of a complex next to a embankment.
There is water damage to walls and a staircase inside the lounge room and i highly suspect heavy rains and/or poor drainage maintenance to the exterior of the property is the cause.
I have contents/building insurance to 60k but not sure which is the best way to go.
Should i contact the body corp, my contents/building insurance company or engage a private building inspector to determine if the issue either internal and external or just internal?
Is the agent liable ? My agreement with the agent requires quarterly inspections to which i have not seen any reports. They have also not provided me with an entry and exit condition report. (note: the tenant recently has left)
Other agency issue is:
I was only advised yesterday by the agency the tenant has left and they have paid rent until next week. From my understanding agents are responsible to provide the landlord more notice ? What is the law on this?
Note property is in QLD.
Cheers
Tone
