My tenant reported a leaking gas issue. There is a line running to a gas heater in the lounge room and one to the gas cooktops.
The pm decided to call a guy that lives 45min from where my house is rather than using someone closer.
Ive been invoiced $440 for this job where the guy investigated the leak, traced it back to the regulator, replaced the regulator and tested it. He then did a maintenance check on the cooktop in the kitchen and tested it. I would have expected a bill for $220. I emailed him and he said that his hourly rate is $70 an hour and he charged me 45min one way travel.
It seems high. What do you think?
A few months ago I organised a plumbe fix something under the house as spotted by the pest guy. He did that on a thursday. Then suddenly on the friday the toilet broke and the pm sent out a different plumber who hit me up as well for this this small job.
I am wondering if the pm gets kickbacks or whatever. They get me the high rent but also the highest expenses ever.
cheers for your opinion
