Xmas presents for tenants.

LOL, you made me laugh. One of mine got a $20 increase, another is getting an eviction if the tribunal comes to the party tomorrow.
Skater,
We have issued an eviction notice as well for Dec 16. I doubt she will move voluntarily. We contacted the power and cable company and informed them she is being evicted. Dec 20 I will have transferred the power back to my name with orders of having it disconnected.
All she had to do was pay her rent.

Couldn't agree more. Just today I had to tell my property manager that I had already spent a lot of money refurbishing the property in question, and I wasn't spending a cent more on the place. The new tenant keeps ringing up with requests for this, that and the other. No, No, and even more no's. Eventually the tenant will either get the message or move on. If she moves on, so much the better. There are more fish in the ocean!
Presents are given to my property managers for putting up with all of the rubbish my tenants dish out all year, and only passing on vital information. (eg genuine maintenance or repairs). A good property manager will deal with over zealous tenants, and not cater to their every whim. A less experienced one, or one that has been recently appointed by the senior property manager to help ease their work load (ala the one handling the property mentioned above) will ring you about anything and everything - all of the time! Very annoying! A call to the senior property manager should fix this problem. I shall call tomorrow!

Not sure about this one - do we or dont we.
This is our first Ip & we just notified the PM of a February $10 rent rise (after they advised a $5 increase instead of $10 to maintain mkt value because they are good tenants).
We have been thinking about sending the tenants a movie voucher but then have the dilemna of do we inlude the 3? kids or just the enough for the parents - ends up a $50 voucher pretty quickly.
PM wont be getting anything - they haven't got much right since the beginning and they make us look like deadbeat landlords by contacting us asap for maintenance (which is good) but then not making repairs in under a week (which is bad) & then I have to check on them to make sure the repairs have been done! Apart from collecting the rent I feel I have managed this propertymore than they have!
No sorry - nothing for the PM & they are lucky to still be getting my 8.8% !
Cheers

If I was to provide some incentive or present for anyone, it would be the PM not the tenant.
I am scrooge however, and not even done that.

Hey ?? You give her a week's free rent every Friday ??
Hi Dazzling,
Sorry for the confusion. The topic is "Xmas presents for tenants'. So it would hardly be a Xmas present if I gave her a weeks free rent every Friday

Nothing from me. I don't know them. I don't even send cards/gifts to people I know, so my tenants certainly aren't going to get anything.

very generous mike , i bet they are happy it doesnt come into effect for over a year

Thank God for this Forum
I had actually gone out and bought gifts (box of chocs) for the PMs and tenants. But now after having read all your posts, have had a change of heart and will not go ahead with gifts for the tenants.
It sure pays to keep in touch with SS and learn from the pros !
Thanks everyone.

Damn tribunal. First they get the date wrong, then they give the tenants until the 28th because they've got children. I bet they can still afford to give their kids plenty of crap for Christmas though AND I'M THE ONE PAYING FOR IT!

Know how you feel skater.
We appealed the tribunals decision when they ruled against a claim we made for the damages by the tenant who burned down our IP.We lost that appeal and today we received the costs that were awarded to them ($1200) for his travel expenses.The trial was one day, but he stayed 14..and made it a vacation here...at our expense.
