Renter rules

I have been to busy to scratch myself let alone write anything but i have realised that without this regular relief on to the wider world web i am not complete. Funny thing this blogging thing. I have never been much of a diary keeper or writer in general but being able to sit down and get the grey matter cleared in a structured format is very enjoyable. i recommend it to all as a good way to pass the time and improve ones touch typing.

For those fans of the Beverley Hillbillies please read to the tune of the theme song:
Come let me tell you about a man named Joel
jewish factory worker barely kept his stomach fed
then one day he bought a house with Tam
and up from their brains came the idea of neg-a-tive, gearing that is.

Well the first thing you know Robert M is the new tenant
things went well but we wanted to move him out
although a 12 month lease is to what he did agree,
its 14 months now and we need take things further, legally that is.

Well it doesn't fit perfectly to the theme but it should give you the general idea of the troubles we are having with our property in Maroubra. TK and i were looking to move in this month but it seems that has been put back at least 3 weeks. While this is disappointing and incredibly frustrating, the part that is aggravating me the most is the limited rights i have as the property owner versus the tenant.

From what my agent tells me is that we set a date for them to vacate the premises and if they are not out by that date we have to give a breach notice and give them another 14 days to vacate. Then if they are still not out (over 2 weeks after the original date) then we can take them to the tribunal who would give them between 1 and 4 weeks to vacate. So after all this bollocking around the wash up is that we set a date and then they could legally move out up to 6 weeks after that - wish i had that leniency from my tradies who we had booked in for end of October.
