Is it annoying with those powerpoints on the side of the bench there??? But the house looks fabulous. Where did you get your letterbox from?? How exciting that you are in now. Kat Re: Kirsada's house - MOVED IN PICS for you pic piggies :) 863Jan 11, 2010 1:29 pm IT IS very exciting, but it takes time for things to come together and I do feel a bit tired! I took holidays from Dec 14 to Jan 6, so that helped, but now I need a holiday to recover from my holidays We got the letterbox on sale at Collie for $160 I think!!!

It is either Formica Antler or Mulga Yesterday I got a letter from rental real estate saying that we have to pay for advertising, photos, days house was vacant as we BROKE THE LEASE when we moved out. I was furious (AND STILL AM) I will be calling them this morning and quoting what I just found on the REIWA website. Our fixed term lease expired in Oct and we didn't resign. I spoke to the manager and she said it was fine and to just give 21 days notice! If a tenant with the authority of the owner remains in the premises on the termination of a fixed term lease without entering into a new fixed term lease then the lease reverts to a periodic lease With a periodic lease the tenant must give 21 days written notice to terminate. With a periodic lease, the owner is required to give 60 days written notice.

We gave our notice on Friday last week for 21 days. Im a bit worried cause there are 3 plant shrub things we have and 1 of them is dying, not sure if its the heat or what but the next door neighbours plant is dying as well maybe they gave our one a disease and we dont want to get caught paying for a new one. When we originally moved in to our place it was winter so they were more healthier looking but the house was so dirty! Did you have plants?? Not sure what we should do.

We had the same deal. Lease was up and we just had to give a months notice I think it was. Might have been less but once we gave them notice they started wanting to bring people around to see the property which was the pits. They can't hit you for the breaking of the lease if you no longer had one. If they get picky ask to see the current lease. which obviously they can't produce. When we ran out of lease we were supposed to sign for a month by month lease but the agent never got around to giving us the paperwork. Re: Kirsada's house - STUPID real estate agents :( 874Jan 13, 2010 1:56 pm we had the same issue.. but our landlord was mikes boss.. he did make it difficult as in he let us lease a brand new house he expected to get it brand new back ie, weeds, lawn, gardens all cleared, bleeched grout in the bathrooms (evn tho they never sealed them!!), concrete cleaned in the garage and stains removed. they even wanted us to clean out the weeds down the alley way on the other side of the fence!! as I did the gardening and mowing of the lawn I mowed half as thats what they had to start with and left the rest of the weeds, cleaned the bathroom as best we could and they can clean the carpet.. we ran out of lease in october last year and were out of contract so we have them 10 days notice and left after that.. they were the biggest pains ever! went back total of 3 times to clean it to their requests and after that they were just trying to use us Harrisdale backyard finally done! Re: Kirsada's house - STUPID real estate agents :( 875Jan 13, 2010 3:07 pm The lease situation sounds the same as here. Once your fixed term lease has expired, and you don't want to take another fixed term, you are on a rollover lease. It's basically a month-to-month lease. You have to give 21 days' notice if you want to vacate; the landlord has to give you 60 days' notice if they want you to vacate. Don't let the agent bluff you into paying for something you're not legally liable for. Judie Re: Kirsada's house - STUPID real estate agents :( 876Jan 13, 2010 3:29 pm HA HA HA HA HA Just got a call from the RE, and I very calmly asked for an explanation "as far as we were aware we were on a periodic lease blah blah blah" She agreed completely and said "Oh I can see what she has done (her assistant) and I must have OVERLOOKED it" She knew I was right and is going to re-send the bond form. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR BOND PAPERWORK PEOPLE!!!!!!!! And don't even get me started on the unrealistic cleaning that they required AND the fact that we had to change all the flyscreens because of a few holes. Not sure about the plant situation. You can't help it if it dies because of the heat?? Just tell them it has a disease from the neighbours one! Did they have photos of what it looked like at the start? OUr stupid RE did, can you believe it!
