Hi all
After 2 years of lease we moved from the property.
Left the property in mint condition .
Only - the PM want us to pay for wooden floor polish. She said my heels damaged the floor.
We think we made reasonable use of the floor
The PM got one quote for 1500 and asking us to pay 600.
Notes
- PM has never mentioned to us in any of the inspections there is a problem.
- Nothing in the contract say "do not walk with shoes in the house etc.
- I wear very mild heals, not sharp.
- to observe the alleged damage you need to look at the floor in particular angel and lighting.
- photos we took, similar to what we have in the initial condition report show almost same condition of the floor as at the time we entred in.
we regard the alleged damage as an ordinary wear and tear which does not require any repairs.
Any tips?
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of cases in VCAt - are they usually in favour of the landlord?
Does the PM need to get some more quotes - we really think it's over the top. It's tiny 2 BRM house and the wooden floor only in the kitchen and lounge.
Thanks
