Me thinks you need to find out exactly who the target audience is (backpackers from where last, what nationality, age bracket etc) and find out what and where the information flow is. It might be on the wall of every backpackers in Kings Cross & inner Sydney, or the net, or 3 magazines, or all of the above. Whatever it is, you gotta be there. Find…[Read more]

Hi Lea
Get a printout of the tenant’s rent record and verify their “good record.” Check their tenancy application. I had a tenant once who never missed a rent payment in 2 years, but 80% of them were late, he was a hell tenant and I took him to tribunal about 5 times. Like extracting teeth.

” 2) This Act does not apply to any residential tenancy agreement —
(a) where the tenant is a party to an agreement for the sale and purchase of the premises; ”

What about later, when the agreement for the sale and purchase has been completed , are they no longer a party to an agreement to buy or sell because it’s been and gone, ?? They no long…[Read more]

Do you have any breakdown of the type of tourists and backpackers who are staying in the area ?
What is the main country of origin ? Age brackets ? etc. If for instance, the main group are British, which it seems they are in regional NSW at the moment, then perhaps…[Read more]

Hi AnnaB
I guess the magic question is ” why is the owner selling ? ”
If the owner is the butcher, it’s a worry.
If not, has the owner offered the property to the butcher ? If not, why not ?
Is the butcher willing to enter into a long lease like 5 x 5 ? If not, why not ?
Is there a supermarket in town ? Has it improved lately ? Is the butcher near…[Read more]

If the PM breaches the managing agency agreement, it’s an issue anytime. Heaven knows they’ll let you know if you are the one to breach it.
If the breach is serious in terms of big dollars such as overpriced repairs or overservicing or repairs you could have done yourself for less, then ask for the difference as a refund, or settle for half. Lost…[Read more]

In NSW, IMHO, if the matter of the lease was adjudicated on by the CTTT, the tenant would be within his rights to assume that since the now landlord did not specifically mention exclusion of the maintenance cost or breakdown cost of air conditioner prior to the time of signing the lease, then the tenant could reasonably expect that the…[Read more]

Doesn’t make sense. If it is a property that you “used to own,” and if settlement has occurred, then you are no longer involved in the sale, and you don’t own it. If a tenancy exists, then the Residential Tenancies Act applies.
Please post here urgently anything you can find out if any of the above is incorrect,
most appreciated.

Hi Nobleone
Might as well move in yourself, everyone else has, and you’d have no less rights than them, and who could remove you.?
They sure have a hide. Have you cancelled the electricity, gas, phone & water. Take as many photos as you can.

Hi Beno999
If finances permit, why don’t you think big and buy the whole park ? They usually have a ROI of 12-15 %, not too shabby,
Lease one and employ managers to run it ?
Lease with buy option the whole park ?
Check the Business and Motel brokers websites.
There is a van park specialist called Buckley I think.

Here’s my suggestion – offer the owners the option of calling the serviceman on the basis that they pay if the serviceman says it didn’t need a service, and you pay if it did. This would serve the interests of both parties. Since the serviceman gets paid either way, he should be impartial.

At least the aircraft din would mask the sounds of gunshots in the surrounding suburbs and sounds of blasting and digging.

Hi Dazzling
Might help to ask the local Council for permission to remove the tree because you think it might be unsafe, they will inspect and give you the all important “Official Opinion” which will cover your tail either way.

Hi Purplekiss
1. Most leases specify that the tenant must take care of the property. That would require keys.
2. Only law abiding citizens need keys, not dope growers. Maybe they want deniability, to claim they haven’t moved in yet so the hydroponics outfit isn’t theirs. Turn off the electricity in the meter box for 3 days, see what happens.

I think a bit of both is the best way. Get a PM – but monitor them. Know the law. Write breach notices yourself when you know tenants are behind.
PMs often don’t understand the relevant legislation at all. They also often don’t do even the minimum inspections they’re supposed to, as Dazzling has recounted. I recently…[Read more]
