Hi there
My first post and first IP.
It was originally our PPOR but we had to move interstate for work.
Anyway have a tenant since March and alls fine. First inspection yesterday...
1. Leaking bathroom sink in to cupboard - wasn't when we left - fair enough
2. Door handle to bedroom wardrobe loose - was when we left
and this is the weird one...
3. The inspection lady tried another house on the same block of units by mistake when arriving and was able to enter our neighbours house! The key was said to work in both. They believe our lock needs to be changed as is a security issue.
Can I get your views on #3? The place is 3.5 years old, and all 3 units were built by the same builder. We never tried our neighbours house so didn't know of this fact.
Can this be claimed on the builder - even after this time? Is it worth it?
As a newbie and advice - also any other good things to know about being in this business with the PPOR as an IP , CGT, Depreciation etc would be good . Thanks!
