You guys should be fortune tellers!!So basically for saying normal people with families and who enjoy life outside money are 'F$#%ED' Grow up and may god give you a soul.

HeyI spoke to my PM and Yarra Vally water today and found out the following1. Yarra Vally said I was liable to pay both service charges and usage as there is only one meter. They will not split the bill or arrange usage payments for the tenants.2. The PM did some ringing around to fellow PM for some advice (I was surprised this is not more common…[Read more]

Hey Elkam,Thanks so much for your advice. I'm going to call the water authority tomorrow (Yarra Vally), I'm also in Melbourne. Unfortunately when I spoke to my future PM (Have signed up but no tenants for a month or so) he did not really make sense and mentioned something about the Body Corp can split the bill, but like you said I don't think this…[Read more]

Thanks Elka!Yeah thats what I had suspected and been told, so if this is the case how have landlords dealt with it in the past?1. Do increase the rent (I thought this might scare some people off seeing a much higher advertised rent)2. Forward the bill to tenant of Agent (But if they fail to pay its your name on the bill?)Any advice would be great!

Thanks guys, I'm still confused, might have to go see the tax man!

Sorry my mistake I read the orginal post wrong, I was thinking DHS, Department of Human Services, sorry for the misunderstanding

Hi,There is no need to be so rude and vocal, I was simply stating the experiences I have had this such properties. Good for you if you have had a pleasant experience, thats really nice, but thats the point of the forum for everyone to state their view so how about some respect. The housing your probably talking about is located in NSW and QLD…[Read more]

I work in local government (by-laws) and have had some very bad experiances with DHA housing, most DHA houses are not looked after, treated poorly and DHA housinf officers are very hard to contact and get action for the tenents to clean up or stop causing a nuisance to neighbours. If your fussy about the up-keep and running of the property I would…[Read more]
