Dubstep – you're a worry

Hi Andy.

Ring Dept Fair Trading, request help, just a phone call from them to the Van Park to assess the problem in order to avoid a Tribunal etc. In view of your health, they should be up to one lousy phone call.

If not, ask your solicitor to make one phone call.

Then take it from there, should make things easier, but ensure all your ducks are in a row, especially the written agreement you have with the van park ( hope you have one). If no paper agreement, remove your asset asap.

Sounds like the thermal guy is little money well spent.

Has anyone checked the PRV – the Pressure Relief Valve?

They all eventually wear out, get weak and vent through the overflow pipe, which is sometimes stuck down a drain or somewhere obscure and you can't see it's continuously leaking hot water. Been caught with that one before. They get replaced  for about $150 incl callout fee.

Good luck, hope it ends well for you.

What exclusive period or agreement are you referring to ?

Poor tenants, not their fault either way, but they pay you full rent and have to live in a fish bowl while you work out how to recoup the money. I suggest you should've replaced the curtains as soon as you knew there was a problem, and sorted it out afterwards. Definately someone is responsible, hope it goes your way.

Hi VJ.

What kind of employment and hours and conditions and ability / disability are you talking about ?

Maybe someone here can help with that too.

Hi, I could write an essay, but try to make it very short – does anybody know what the steps are to get occupants removed that are not on the rental contract? In other words, tenants are wanted, but not the occupants one of the tenants lets stay (since months now), they transfer the house into a nightclub (smoke everywhere, massively disturbing the other tenants, rendering their part of the house "half-livable"). It's tricky, because the tenants are on 1 rental contract and 1 of them lets the unwanted people stay, the others don't agree. Thanks everybody, why do we have to deal with this stuff, wouldn't it be nice to have only nice people in this world Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi All.

I agree with Andrew about negotiation as a skill to learn and use and improve.

But reading the initial post I felt the poster was wanting to remove these illegal occupants.

In my opinion, unless matters change it's not a safe scenario for the property because :

(a) they're not on the lease, hence legally not recognised as tenants, so

(b)  they're not responsible for damage or rent under the Residential Tenancies Act in NSW 

(c) they have not completed a tenancy application to check on their ID, rental history or background 

(d) their occupation has not been approved by PM or property owner, hence it's a sublet by the tenant if they're paying rent

to the tenant which is usually a major breach of the lease in most pre-printed NSW lease forms

(e) those with no regard for tenancy laws will likely have no regard for your property

(f) one of the legal tenants wants them out as well, so from the 2 legal tenants you'd expect support from one and compliance from the other.

I believe in negotiation, but first you have to regain control as a landlord and all occupants in the property need to understand the real situation first.

 As a PM, I never negotiated with squatters or illegal occupants on principal because I couldn't legally condone illegal occupation without being negligent and liable, so I insisted they vacate and make an application, and in considering that application, I considered their recent actions as well as their merits.

Maybe that's just my style of P Management, call it unfriendly if you like,  but a PM cannot afford the legal liability of  playing soft hearted social worker with illegals.

What a property owner does with their own property under self-management is their own decision.

Hi Japansuki.

Bathurst, Wagga, Dubbo, all good strong economies.

Depends what you're looking to buy as a property, house, house with extra land, unit, etc. 

Which market are you aiming at – family like 3-4 brms, professionals, youth, students, short term accomm, ??

Those big towns (cities) will provide all the above.

Bardon has the best idea I reckon, provided you are clear on your target and have completed your homework.

Good luck.

cheers
