Hey everyone,
we bought an ip in Moonee Ponds, it's a 2 bedroom unit in a block of 5.
The place was all original about 40 years old, and I fully renovated it, new kitchen, bathroom, the lot. Looks fantastic. We had a great tenant from Sydney for about 2 years, but he went back home, and now we are looking for new tenants.
We had an open day, with 7 couples coming through, and the feedback the agent gave us was, great unit, but the common area smells because of strong cooking odour. So the prospective tenants are hit with this smell, and that's their first impression.
My question is, at what point can something be done, when a tenants cooking smells, impact other tenants. If you play loud music, eventually your told to turn it down.
The unit that the smells are coming from are un-renovated, so you can be sure the rangehood is just recirculating the cooking smells, instead of venting them correctly.
Would love to her your thoughts.
Scott.
