Hi,
Here is the situation we are renting in Perth, its a 2-bed unit that we have a fixed term lease until 22Mar. The property is furnished and is about to go on the market. The landlord I have a good relationship with but I don't know the agent.
My understanding in NZ is that the tenant only has to grant reasonable access - I am thinking we would agree to an 1hr open home on Saturday and maybe 2 other times during the week for private groups so long as she rings prior? Is that reasonable - I work from home so its a bit of pain really.
Also I am not the world's best house keeper - the place is not hugely un-tidy or dirty but often there is a pile of laundry in the bathroom, newspapers on the table and washing up in the sink - is that reasonable? I don't see why I should have to continually tidy for someone else's standards!
As I said we don't have a problem yet but I thought I would just check my rights before I meet the agent!
