OK, it's me again with a curly question
We have been trying to sell our PPoR in Bundaberg for about 2 months now with very little interest.
We have it on the market for $275,000 and above after dropping it from the original $295,000.
We have decided that if we don't get a contract on it by the end of the month, we will have to rent it out as cash flow at the moment does not allow us to keep it empty for very long.
We have at that property a 2.8kW solar system and solar hot water. We have been conservative with our useage and the solar is now in Credit with Ergon by about $35 dollars (No power bill)
What we want to know is, can we put the expected rent up by say $15 a week so from $275 to $290 and put a clause in that the tenant will not get an electricity bill unless they go over a certain kW usage per bill?
I am interested in what others think of this idea. And if we could legally do it is more to the point?
Any advise greatly appreciated.
