PM has sent a new management agreement apparently because of changes to the Act from 1 July. I am sitting here going thru the new agreement & it has a couple of things changed since our last agreement was done in August 07;
4.4 Assignment clause - if we sign this agent can assign the appointment to another agent without us having any say in the selection of the new agent....hmm I think not - I'd like to have some say & know who is managing my property.
6.3 max value of repairs/maintenance - 2 weeks rent on repair/maintenance any one item - very open - 2 items break & all of a sudden no rent for that month & I dont know about it until the statement arrives - I think not
Also debating on water - house has a compliance certificate re water eficiency & 1/2 of me wants to charge tenants for all water other part of me says for the $60 - 80 per 1/4 its not worth the hassle? Rent is around market, maybe bit over these days so maybe that will make up for water....
Although I am happy for the PM to manage the place, I would still like some say/control over how& by who it is managed....am I being too cautious & picky by being concerned with these items?
Cheers
