Hey everyone,
Had an interesting situation with my PPOR turned IP over the weekend. Here's the story.
2 weeks ago had a call from a friend who said friends of a friend have just moved from Canberra and are looking for a place to rent. Meanwhile I'm renovating my bathroom and fixing up things around the house getting it ready for rental. I was looking mid - late november which I told the tennants but they wanted 30th Oct so I agreed...stupid.
Thursday night with the tennants moving on the weekend. No bathroom tiles, no toilet, no vanity, no shower screen, no front door, holes in the bedroom doors. I have been working 12hr days for the last 2 weeks and havent had any time whatsover to get anything done.
Saturday afternoon tennants arrive - No toilet, No basin mixer on the vanity, No front door, No tiles around the vanity, holes in the bedroom doors, housemates bed and clothes still in his room.
Tiler had come in on Thursday but not done around the vanity. Plumber put in the vanity on Friday night (had the wrong mixer) and Toilet base in on Saturday (had to wait for cement to dry before finishing)
Plumber came in on Sunday and finished off the toilet but seeing as the complex my townhouse is in only had 1 water mains for the whole complex he didnt want to do the mixer at 7pm at night. Tennants had been using 24hr servo up the road for the toilet from Sat arvo to Sunday night.
Plumber is putting in the mixer today and tennants are arranging for new doors and locks to be put on. I'm awaiting a quote for a shower screen to be put in next week. Housemate it taking his bed and clothes out on Friday
Have agreed to knock of some of the 1st and maybe 2nd weeks rent depending on how much the new doors come 2.
Have learnt some valuable lessons. I guess I was just used to me and my housemate not really minding the small defficiencies around the house such as no front door (there was a fly screen door just no main door) and am really looking forward to not hearing any more complaints from the tennants.
I thoroughly deserve it though! They were very pushy in getting into the house that weekend though
Now on to the next 1!!!
P.S sorry about the spelling/grammar, at work so wanted to get it out as quickly as possible
