Hello all,
I have a situation to be looked at if anyone is interested.
1. Tennant been in property for 7 years for $120 a week.
2. Single mum with two kids respectable and friendly.
3. Apparently they got 2 weeks behind in their rent a year ago with other property manager and havent caught up.
4. My p.m. confronts them with new lease and rent rise of 10 a week ($130) wich is fair for the area, but because its a new lease they will be up for bond money, stamp duty? and other costs because he says the other p.m. is unlikely to come up with any of their existing moneys . comming to a substantial ammount, nearly $900 i think.
5. Tennant says its too much (having said earlier that she thought 120 wouldnt last as long as it did without a rent rise) leaving me to think that its all the other thats bothering her ($900) not the rent rise, is this normal.
6. The tennant says boyfriends boss has a house out in the sticks that they can have for $120 no bond or anything, im wondering is this a bluff as the school is right up the street here and her friends are at hand , not to mention her mother.
Is this sort of thing normal, I like to see the p.m. being firm with them (because of rent default previously) but i seem to think because its a sitting tennant and the p.m. cant charge a letting fee he may be pushing them out to get one, am i on the right track or parranoid. (the p.m. comes recommended and has a good rep.).
Maybe it will be good to start a fresh with tennants that havent been pampered by lennient p.m.s. With kids going back to school i feel it could be a bad time to start looking for a new tennant as i would think everyone would be settled in by now. mmmm maybe parranoid. Perhaps it wouldnt hurt to see the tennant to make sure she isint being pushed arround by the p.m.
God bless anyone who takes the time to read this and any response would be more than appreciated. thanks.
