I recently bought a property in WA which was a deceased estate. The tenants were relatives of the estate's beneficiary and had no formal lease. After settlement I put them on a fixed term lease, mainly because it seemed like I have to under the new guidelines in WA. At the end of their tenancy in October I will be demolishing the property and rebuilding.
My question is, do I really have to do a property inspection report? There is no bond, I don't care if they do damage to the property unless they completely trash the place making it costly for me to clean up. It will not be re-rented when they leave.
I've downloaded the form from the Dept Consumer Protection website and it reads like I have to do it, but it just seems an imposition. I'm not trying to protect myself. If they leave tomorrow, I will not re-rent the property. As there is no bond I would be hard pressed to recover any money from them if the left a mess
The tenants are good, the place is pretty much spotless given it is an old house.
any thoughts on the consequences if I don't do one?
