G'day all
I have been a landlord for a bit over 18 months now, and am still very green at dealing with bad tenants.
I own a property in southern nsw.
I have a property manager looking after this property.
In September we had a tenant sign up for 12 months.
The other day the tenant gave notice as they are leaving town - 12th of march.
However, they have only payed until the first of February, they are behind in rent. Rent is 250/week, bond is 1000 dollars.
I am thinking they are hoping to take off, and make us claim the bond for the last month of rent.
Unfortunately it won't cover the 12 days in march.
My PM has put an application in to tribunal to recover some costs.
The house is messy and doesn't look like getting cleaned up properly before the 12th!
Just wondering what I am entitled to. I feel so violated !
Any help appreciated
