I 'leased' a property to a guy for $680pw in Gladstone. Move in date in 6-8 weeks. This was my asking price. The property is taken off the net and we wait.
A few weeks later the tenant asks if he can have it for $600pw. This is when I find out the PM didn't have the new tenant sign a lease. She said she asked him to but he didn't because he didn't know his move in date.
I have a history of these PM's never wanting to put the tenants out in any way, or hold them to their obligations, yet I am always asked to commit and keep my word.
To be fair, $600pw could probably still be considered an OK rent as the market has dropped a little since, but now I'm losing out on the extra $80pw because the PM didn't make the tenant sign.
What should be my expectations here? Should I be angry at this PM for not getting the tenant to sign?
