    Hi there,

     

    We recently signed on a new tenant. His payment history has been

    Dec: full payment

    Jan: half payment (2 weeks rent)

    Feb: no payment

     

    After no responding to two emails we finally got it touch with the Managing agent. She has advised the she has sent any eviction notice and that the tenant is trying to come up with the funds.

     

    I have looked up the fair trading website but would like to hear other forum members experience. I am frustrated that the agent did not notify us earlier about the tenant’s financial situation. Am I being unreasonable in believing that it is unacceptable to just send a statement with $0.00 rent received without a phone call to explain. How can agents justify their management fees, if they can’t even keep track of our account.

     

    End rant!

     

    TIA

      If what you’re saying is that your Tenant is now 6 weeks behind in rent payments, and that your Property Manager (Rental Agent) has not issued an eviction notice, then you should instruct your Property Manger to immediately issue the Tenant with a “Non-Payment Termination Notice”.

      You need to act quickly, as again if I’m interpreting your post correctly, your Tenant’s Bond will very shortly be insufficient to cover the rent owed.

      Under the terms of a “Non-Payment Termination Notice”, the Tenant is required to vacate the premises in 14 days unless they EITHER pay all rent owing OR enter into a formal Repayment Plan with you (as Landlord) – and with which you agree.

      Once the matter is resolved, I’d change Property Managers!!

      Agents need to be audited.,askf for management fees refunded write to Cttt and complain if tenant burns or damages property which happens the vast majority of bond is gone and your agent will be too. There needs to be stringent action against these slack agents.
