I think Landlord’s protection insurance only covers damage to the unit – I may be wrong.

I assume the agent did a good job of screening the tenant, she did get a written reference from the ex agent.

I just don’t know about the other i.e. that she is…[Read more]

Are they entitled to take their “letting fee” when it went into default before it even commenced.

Yes, I just keep going back to Beenleigh. You can still get a Beenleigh townhouse for around $120K to $130K with quite reasonable rents. It is still a little bit of a dodgy place, but getting better. Look at Labrador on the Gold Coast, that used to be classed as dodgy city 20 years ago, now it is booming – or was at that last boom.
