It's been vacant about 2 weeks now, but been advertised for rent for around 5 weeks now.  I've noticed a lot of townhouses around Varsity have dropped their rent, alot of them are at the $370 mark and they look better than ours, so I will drop the rent again next week, guess I'm dissapointed as the previous tenants were paying $390.  Also j…[Read more]

Hi guysWell, so far our place still remains unrented, there has been interest, infact it was almost rented a lady was about to move in and last minute pulled out, don't know why.  So I'm thinking I'll try another price drop next week to $370pw, don't really know what else to do.  That is what I wanted to ask you guys, is there anything I can do i…[Read more]

Thanks for the great advice business global.  There is no aircon in the bedrooms only ceiling fans.  There is a big aircon in the dining/kitchen area which would carry through to the living area.  I will wait and see if any of those 4 parties put in an application from Saturday's open, otherwise I will seriously think about putting an aircon in th…[Read more]

Hi guys, I actually went to the property this afternoon as we were picking up the washing machine we didn't need in there anymore, so I told the agent to advertise it open for half hour while we were there.  4 groups came through and they all took applications, and this is with the $10 less per week new advertisement, so hopefully we will get…[Read more]

Spoke to the agent today and they were supposed to drop the rent to $380, take the ad off and put it back on so it bumps up to the top of the list, I've just looked on the web and the stupid agent has taken it off and has not put it back on!!!!!  I could have possibly missed out on a potential tenant searching the web tonight, not happy…[Read more]

I spoke to my PM today and advised that we will have to change agents if they cannot get any applications by the end of this week.  They understand and will not charge me anything.  They also told me that they have about 28 properties they are trying to rent that are sitting vacant still, and also interestingly they said they are having a lot of…[Read more]

Thanks for all  your comments, much appreciated Raddles, link below for my property, all comments greatly appreciated on any improvements.  Also you mention you approached another PM.  I'm concerned that as I've signed a property management agreement, it might not be as easy as approaching another PM, I'm hoping they don't try charge me anyt…[Read more]

Thanks Dukster, it was originally on the market for $450, in which I would have got in a normal market, now it is at $390 and still haven't generated a lot of interest.  it is priced the same and even a bit cheaper as other townhouses that are much older than mine and not as modern.  The agent did tell me that the 4 bedroom homes seem to be r…[Read more]
