We purchased a duplex from gov?s Defence Housing Australia (DHA) and have leased it back to DHA since 2003. DHA supposed to manage and maintain & repair the duplex according to the lease agreement we signed.
However, DHA neglected to maintain and repair the brick paver driveway and caused the premature failure of the driveway which will cost $18K to $20k to relay. And DHA wants to force us to pay.
We have spent a lot of time to do research and write to them, but DHA is still trying to get us to pay which is unreasonable. We really regret that we purchased the duplex from DHA.
Could anyone recommend a few reputable lawyers / tribunal system in Sydney please? It would be good if the lawyer(s) has handled cases for owners like us before and charge reasonable prices.
Many thanks!
