Did anyone watch that Location Location program on 26.4.2001? I am wondering if there's any IP owners on this forum, who have also experienced any "tenants from hell"?.
For those who did not see the story, it showed this Sydney couple, who had a new IP, (has been rented for past 3.5 yrs and had to go to court to get the them out), which was left in a total mess and was totally unhabitable. In other words, a filthy dump! There were rats, mice, cockies, feas, spiders etc, you name it. It cost this couple more then $4,000 (I think?) to get it all cleaned up and re-carpeted etc which they sold in the end.
It was negative report for IP owners as I had just purchased my 1st IP (a similar new home in Bris metro)and am currently waiting on "suitable tenants" (to be screened out by the local estate agent), then will manage it myself. One would think that this sort of situation does not happen to all IPs and that the media just loves to cover these sort of stories.
