Thanks Dee!! And wise move divide and conquer!! Re: Herbiecat's Hartley - Bricks, we have a wall!!! 354Sep 22, 2010 5:49 pm Amazingly enough I am not going to the block today!!!!! I know, I know you have all entered an alternate universe! Been madly cleaning this place for a rent inspection tomorrow and have just run out of time......where's my commitment? My DH is coming home via the block though so I have ordered him to take photos! And take his shoes off before he enters this house as the floor is spotless! 2 inspections so far since Jan and they have both been on school holidays I clean and the two darling children unclean behind me! Re: Herbiecat's Hartley - Bricks, we have a wall!!! 355Sep 22, 2010 7:43 pm nice wall! re: inspections. they can only have one inspection every 6 months - it's in the Residential Tenancies Act (Vict) Unless you've had repairs being ordered etc. I'd remind them of their obligations Ahh, soon all this renting thing will be a thing of the past!!! Re: Herbiecat's Hartley - Bricks, we have a wall!!! 356Sep 22, 2010 10:30 pm herbiecat Ahhhhhhh that's what it is! I knew someone on H1 would know. Thanks Barwon. How's the house going?
