I am, I hope, a good landlord, tolerant and flexible! Unfortunately I had to rent a place for six months. The agency and landlord were excellent until I left! They wouldn’t give me my bond back! I had paid the agency’s cleaners to clean the place from top to bottom. They did a very good job except for one stain. I had paid the agency’s cleaners $440 to clean everything and the carpets. At inspection I was told that the stain would be taken up with the cleaners. BUT OH NO! The agency said I had to pay an extra $220. When I refused and said I was going to the Tenancy Tribunal they threatened to counter claim because I had had a dog on the premises. Yes, true bit not full time only when my daughter brought her over. I am off to the Tribunal on Monday. I will not be threatened or intimidated. I hope I will win. What does FLAT CHAT think?
In my years as a landlord I’ve had good and bad tenants. I hope my good nature with all of the tenants will come good on Monday in my favour.
