Rubber man on ceiling, please explain

Would you rather them start with a spotless starting point of reference or something that's sorta clean. At least from now on if it's not right you can complain.

Haha. yeah, he was stuck to the ceiling. Someone threw him up there. That explain it?

Yeah agents can be bad. The worse one we had when renting about 10 years ago charged carpet cleaning when we moved out, despite the fact we knew the owners were ripping out the carpet once we left, which the owners did.

We couldn't be bothered fighting it as we moved halfway across the state and had a fair bit of cash after selling our business.

Rubber woman, I might understand

helium?????

I was overseas renting my house out while on a long honeymoon. Bit of a storm, 3m section of picket fence falls over.

Realo gets ONE quote, won't provide pics or 3 quotes, and the quote is for $2400 unpainted. For 3m of unpainted 1m high picket fence. No, they said, absolutely can't repair existing stuff.

"It's an emergency, tenants have a dog, has to be fixed, just go with our quote!"

Gave the realo 2 fingers, mates went over there and stood the old (nicely painted) section up with a few new droppers, bag o cement, and 4hrs labour.

Cost me $300 for materials (with some change left over) and 2 cartons of xxxx gold.

So, we moved out of our own house and the agent leased it to a tenant. We got charged $240 for cleaning.

This is a scam, right? The agent's/cleaners win both ways; now and when the tenant moves out and can't keep to the ridiculously high standard of cleanliness the agents expect. Problems included "A mark on a mirror door", "water marks in the laundry sink" and "rubber man (child's toy) stuck to ceiling".

Again, this was us moving out of our own house, now it's rented. No, of course I'm not paying it.

I highly highly recommend you take heaps of photos before the tenants move in digital with the date stamp on.
Insist that the agent do 6 monthly inspections rather than 12 and accompany the agent when they do them.
It may be a hassle at the time but this way you are covered and can pick up on an issue.
Many agents claim to do the propertyinspections for you but never end up doing it.

Bugger that, get an agent that does 3 monthly inspections and won't tolerate one missed rent payment.

Suck it up you capitalist pig panda!
