Thanks Sonya
The place was brand new and these were the first tenant here….
Just found out also from the old managers that the tenants had a blocked drain (3cm hair ball) and flooded the upstairs bathroom. They took $250 out of our final payment for this. A check of the so called tradesman's invoice looks like he's not even a registered trades person (checked online with BSA), so now something else to look into…..
It really make you wonder if its worth it.

An update on my previous posts.
Moved to new managers, but tenants moved out.
We went to the property to have a look at the state that the property (townhouse) was left in after they ended their lease to find that they had painted the walls to cover up marks they made when the had moved in using paint provided by the old managers. The paint doesn't match and now we have to get all of one level of the place repainted !!!! Also the tentants left oil stains on the garage floor and never really cleaned the place up at all. We are now looking at legal action against the old managers for what has been doen and what they have let happen….Fighting any refund of the tenants bond until we get it sorted out.
Will update as it goes on.
Thanks for the advice DWolfe and shakenbake.
I'm going to contact the managers to get my copy of the lease.
Ther'e's no clause in the agreement that I have with them so there should be no problem, I just wanted to ask someone else before going ahead so that I wouldn't be put off by my inexpirence if they put up a fight.The new manager tried to get a copy for us and the old managers wouldn't talk to them.
I'll instruct them to cooperate as it is in our "best interests" and remind them of their obligation to us. After all they are making money from me…
I've only have this property 6 months and have had all sorts of problems and this is just about all I want to take from these guys.
I'll let you know how I get on.
