Hi,
I have a problem with one of my IP's that I am hoping someone can shed some light on.
It is situated interstate and the house next door to it is a housing department home. All was going reasonable until the tenants next door moved out and new one's moved in.
They are feral (and that's being nice). The kids have twice broken windows all up and down the street (my place included). They have removed bricks from the entry stairs to the property (how I don't know) and are making life miserable for my tenant.
Added to this the fact that I would like the current tenant to move on as he is late with the rent much too often.
I feel trapped because if I get rid of my current tenant the house will be vacant for a while (what damage could they do to a house they know is vacant?), also who in their right mind would lease this property now? (I know I wouldn't).
After speaking to the agent she said that she has complained to the housing department, but has been told that nothing can be done.
