Hi,
IP start off with tenant A and tenant B on the lease agreement, during the tenancy, tenant A broke the shower screen, they agreement they would fix it before they move out or we can take the cost out off their bond.
Lease expired, tenant A moved on but tenant B stayed, and bond transferred to tenant B, damage was mentioned, tenant B agreed to hold accountable for the damage, and again, agree to fix it before move out or take out from the bond.
Tenant C moved in to stay with tenent B, CHANGE PM (different story) and new PM has notified regarding the damage, after 1 year, tenant B moved on, and bond transferred to tenant C, now according to my current PM, tenant C still hold responsible for the damage, as the bond is "TRANSFER" and is not "REFUND", so it is still the original bond, therefore we still can either ask this tenant C to fix it or take out from the bond.
I didn't know enough regarding the bond, but to me, tenant C has nothing to do with the damage, and has never agreed to take responsible for it, so does my PM correct regarding the tenant's responsibility...?
Super.
