Welcome Guy,
My reaction to the first reply to your question was exactly the same as yours. [blink]
I loitered on this site for weeks before I was game to post a question. I’m sorry your experience so far hasn’t been the tolerant and welcoming reception most people experience.
I currently live in Tassie and welcome any discussion on our fine country [biggrin].
Did I pay unnecessarily??? [eh]
The front cover states that if it is not the original document (ie. numbered and in colour) then it may not constitute a legal document.
[hmm]
Good luck Mud Balls.
I love the saying too (never heard it before).
Hi Dougie,
I’ve just started to manage my IP myself and got the Residential Tenancy Agreement from the Real Estate Institute office in that state. They charge a fee of $20.

Are you serious about the stickers being banned – ante-snort policy ???

Hey George & Steph,
Hailing from Hobart. (Ex Darwin/Melbourne/Canberra).
ps. I used to work in Nth Melbourne and often got lunch from the Vic Markets. Going back about 15 years but I bet it’s still the same.
Cripes… [bigeyes]
Just had to cancel my morning tea. [puke]
Watch your keyboards don’t ignite!!!
I guess, until the powers that be decide to let us have some chat room type set up, this thread should do the job in the meantime.
[biggrin] Loved it, Redwing.
I knew I came to work today for a reason!
Excellent idea.

Hi Waysolid,
It depends whether you live near the property or not.
A little of my own experience as a warning for you tho’…
I have a unit in Darwin but live in Tassie. I recently had new tenants go in, so had a new condition report done. It was noted that one of the kitchen windows stick when closing. The request for maintenance was to have the windows (plural) fixed. Owing to a change of property manager within the same office, the request was forwarded to me again for the kitchen windows to be replaced !!! [bigeyes]
Had I not been at the unit a few months earlier and aware of the extent of the problem, I would have said go ahead – having faith in the property managers.[angry2] However, arranging for a bit of planing and paint touch-up costing a grand total of $45.00, I managed to save a potential $800.
So, if you can view the property yourself, DO!
This could become the smokers anonymous thread! I started in school (a short while ago [blush2]) and have never even tried to give up. Scared of failure is my best excuse… [cigar]
However, being in Tassie, our fearless ex-leader has proved a great inspiration for others – it was reported that there was a 300% increase in calls to the Quit Line since he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Celivia,
You are correct and I apologise. I guess I used the expression because amid the wealth of knowledge on this and other forums I often do feel slightly dumber than average in the property game.
Won’t happen again… [withstupid]
Not so much what I didn’t learn at school, rather what I just didn’t learn (until too late in some cases)…
Being a ‘spunk’ only helps so much!
Smoking is not that easy to give up after all.
I no longer want to be ‘put down’ at 37 (so young)
Mum and Dad wouldn’t really have put me up for adoption.[cigar]

I see enough ‘lol’ replies on my 13 year-old’s msnchat to be bothered seeing them here.
I visit this forum and Somersoft equally – but for different reasons. I find Somersoft contributions more complex (and usually a tad out of my depth [blink]) but what I do understand I trust as being from a reliable source.
This forum I confess to feeling more comfortable asking dumb questions and participating in the Fun or Opinionated.
The other difference is that here it is obvious that the number of posts in no way signifies the experience or reliability of the advice/opinion offered – which is a bummer! [cigar]
ps. Acey, you’re my hero… [lmao]
Purplekiss,
My neighbour and I have mirror-image, 99 year old houses. Together we sanded and polished the floors of two rooms in both houses and our halls. Although it was the second least enjoyable renovation job I’ve done to date, over a four day long weekend, the results were fantastic. Fortunately, he has a friend who is a professional floor sander, so we were able to use his equipment for a reduced amount (also a two houses for the price of one type deal).
The cutting in was a killer (on the back) but the skirting boards had been removed to be stripped so we were able to finish right to the edge.
Siacci’s advice is great. Don’t forget to punch in all the nails before you start sanding. Best advice in the world to do this is to hijack the kids skateboard, plant your butt and roll the length of the floor as you go.
Good luck if you decide to do it. With care, the results will be very satisfying.
Only other advice – long, hot bath at the end of each day.
Welcome Brenda.
You’re a long way from home. Hope you haven’t turned away from the ‘Soft’ option.

If I were you I’d start spreading the rumour that one’s manlihood can be directly attributed to one’s jaw size!
And those evil-looking, squinty eyes – mysterious perhaps.
Truly… your ears are the least of your problems.

Woohoooo James. Have saved document and will commence studying asap. Your assistance is overwhelming!
Thanks Elves. I’ll check with them too.
Feeling uplifted already… [lmao]
Praise be, James, it is a nightmare.
Period of notice – never thought of that. I’ll will advise them of my intentions tomorrow and so be more informed.
Trust account – I was just going to give them the loan account numbers and have it paid in directly. Is there a reason why it has to be a ‘trust’ account. Or is that just required for the bond so I don’t go spending!
Yack, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately this is my second attempt at a property manager. Until now I too have preferred the security of a PM to handle things but experience tells me it’s simply not meant to be. I should also mention that I have complete faith in the tenants (famous last words…), will have a lease between us and will continue with landlord’s insurance. It’s the distance that concerns me (dunno why really) as I presently reside in that country south of Australia – Tassie!
Your time and advice is appreciated.
