Hiya,

I couldn't make it either, unfortunately.

(Well, not so unfortunate, really... was out with a pretty ladyfriend and had a great evening with her instead.)

So, how was it? Did the guest speaker have much interesting to say?

Cheers

James.

 

[Belu]

yeah its a bugger how night school goes until 9:30 on wednesdays this semester. But how did it all go?

 

[GoAnna!]

He was great although we may have a been a tad mean to him !

Lots of excellent tips such as detailing conditions reports and how to get extra security when letting to say young people without much rental history behind them.

The main debate was around handing out keys verus private appointments. Hey might start a post on that one

 

[The Y-man]

Walked in seriously late, but very interesting.

Thanks Manny and PT Bear.

Cheers,

The Y-man

I really enjoyed the presentation, as we did have him up in the front for over 2 hours (actually went on for almost 2.5hours), so did cover lots... Great to hear about the eviction process (how VCAT calculate days, ensuring they do allow for 4 full "business" days for registered mail to be sent to them), selling/buying concerns if you ask for "vacant possession" & sent via registered notice an eviction notice to the tenant (who subsequently had left & did sub-lease it to someone else) & them not receiving the notice --> you not being able to evict the tenant on settlment date (which can push back settlement by a month), etc...

Pete, thanx for arranging this...

Cheers,

Manny.

Hi guys,

I didn't put up a post as PeterT was hoping to have the next meeting at his new offices (hence why I didn't arrange a room @ Footscray)...

Cheers,

Manny.
