We are about to move into new office premises, and the lease was signed with the undertaking that the owners would put a door on the toilet 
and also finish off the verandah floor outside (currently waiting for a concrete floor and tiling). Also, we signed off that our power would be separately metered for our use (currently it is shared with other tenants in a separate but attached office, who operate 24/7)
Well, of course, we move in on Tuesday and nothing has been done. I spoke with the owners two weeks ago (while waiting for Telstra to install the phone lines) and they were commenting about price etc etc.
It is an old house, which has been modernised (hence no toilet door as yet) and these things have just been left.
Where do we stand? We still want to move in (well, we have to know having spent over $2000 on phone installations, and given our old landlord the departure date) but what other leverage do we have to get things done?
All of these things have been written in the contract btw. Even when the conveyancer didnt want it, I still put them in there.
Oh yeah, and then we find out that the other tenants have their telephone system in our office area; and they can access our rooms from their side through a common door. We will have a small fridge against it so that should block their access. We will have a separate alarm system though, so any move on their part will trigger it. I presume we do not have to give them our alarm code? Cant imagine the Insurance company would allow that.
