    Thanks Scott,

    This is a great advice. Does the notice period remain same for both Fixed and continuing lease agreements. My understanding was that with a Fixed agreement reduces the notice period from 60 days to 14 days. If that's not the case, then I am very happy to sign a Fixed lease for a year.

    Please clarify.

    Hi guys,

    In actual, my friend is not the landlord but they are the tenants and I just wanted to get a different perspective on the situation.

    Now the facts are:

    1) The rent has been paid to the landlord well in time regularly for last 8 months.
    2) They have never kept a 3rd person on a regular or commercial basis but a friend stayed with them and landlord was aware of that and had no issue with that all so far.
    3) They requested for a repair for a few times which was never made by the owner.
    4) They seem to have a personality clash with the agent and in the past, and didn't get well with her at all.

    What do you think they should do to avoid harassment by the agent?

    It wouldn't bother me, but I would increase the rent and add the new tenant at the renewal of lease,

    why doesn't the land lord like the tenant, if they are causing other problem evict them for that reason, otherwise honour the lease as you would expect the tenant to honour it.

    I can't stand land lords on a power trip,

    The rent was increased a couple of months ago already.

    It's the agent who had an issue with the tenant and agent is managing another 5-6 properties of my friend and now he has to sacrifice the tenant to save the relationship with agent.

    We have been told that there is no way to prove that more people are actually living in the premises and privacy laws and other issues can as well kick in.

    Any opinions??

    I had a similar thing happen to me. I was advised by the manager of the estate, that the couple who rent the townhouse I own, had moved another woman and her children in. The tenants said they were just visiting, but my manager was concerned – so he called me. I then wrote a stern letter to the manager, asking him to inform my tenants that they were in breach of their contract, and had not asked permission for this woman to move in. It seemed to scare the tenants a little, and they moved their guests out . Maybe you could do the same. Hope it goes well!…Nell

    That has been done to no avail. They know a lot about laws and rules and have consulted Fair Trading as well.

    Unless it can be proved that they have a 3rd person living on the premises, nothing can be done.

    So how to prove that??

    sublet is a separate contract and it shouldn't be against the main one

    They don't have a sublet contract – its just someone living with them. Thanks

    What does it really matter at the end of the day?

    Yes to him it does matter. He doesn't like them anyways and want to use this excuse for eviction.

    Irrespective of morality of his action, is it possible?? and how??

    Hi,

    She is in NSW and has visited the agent a few times also. Apparently the landlord is not interested in spending any money on the property and as far gas inspection is concerned he is also required by law to have an inspection every 2 years by a certified gas fitter.

    The difference is rent issue is plain incompetence on the part of property manager. He has been rude to her and tries to avoid her to avoid having to resolve the issue.

    I have advised her to lodge an application with the tribunal as this seems to be her only option.

    Any advise on this?

    Thanks

    Yes you certainly can purchase a property as a non resident and the attached website link may answer a few more questions:

    If you are requiring financing for the purchase then you will be limited to 80% LVR.

    Thanks Richard.

    The link you provided gives very useful information on property owndership for people still on temporary visas.

    It seems like I can buy an investment property which is brand new only.

    Very difficult to find a brand new property with good return though [cigar]

    Thanks

    What could be the investing risks associated with invsting in china?

    I know large companies are eager to invest there but they have more resources to protect their money than an indivdual investor.
