    Then tenant in my recently acquired first IP is currently 3 weeks behind in rent according to my PM. She has dodged phone calls and isnt returning emails. My PM is dropping in and leaving a notice to vacate. If she leaves gracefully does her bond money cover outstanding rent? (hopefully the property is left in good order) Is there anything else i need to know about this process??

    Thank you in advance

    Hiya

    Different states have different laws but I’d assume that she’d be relinquishing her bond if she’s in arrears with you.

    We had this issue with an ACT property, the tenant was kicked out and the rent they owed was approximately the same value as their bond. We simply had the bond paid to us – and the rest is history.

    Best of luck with it – hopefully it all works out ok. I know how frustrating it can be.

    Cheers

    Thanks Jaime M, I am hoping for a quick and simple resolution!!
    What happens if she leaves peacefully and bond covers rent but there are issues with the property?? ie cleaning and some repairs?? What happens then? Is that claimed for on my insurance??

    Hello,

    There are a couple of things to consider for now and the future.
    1) call you pm and ensure you will get your bond back .
    2) have you got land lord insurance?
    3)I would be talking to your pm and see what screening process they have used to get this tenant.
    4) 3 week seems odd as most tenants pay on monthly cycles.

    Landlord insurance might cover some of these issues. I assume you have it? If so – give them a buzz and see what you’re covered off then work out whether a claim is worth it.

    Cheers
