Visitors are allowed to stay up to 4 weeks anything after that are usually considered 'residents' and their income is included in your rent assessment.
As per tenancy agreement (form 18a) - please refer to special terms (4) The lessor agrees the tenant has permission to the short term casual sub-lease of a room in the house.Breach 2: House has to be in immaculate condition as per entry for sale purposes.
The legislation stats the following:
No damage has been made on the rental property
Your landlord cannot evict you for your home not being immaculate. This has to be stated in the lease agreement or in the state tenant laws to be legal)
Notes to be addressed to landlord regarding immaculate condition as per entry for sales purposes:
Home has been maintained to the same standard when property was handed over by landlord and more cleaning has taken place.
On entering property:
No bond clean had been done, rubbish still in bins, skirting boards not cleaned, cupboards filthy, study still had landlords paperwork, files, rubbish and absolutely filthy. Landlord emptied room out without cleaning or vacuumin you left room with dirt dust on desk and carpets filthy, main bedroom draws and cupboards dusty, Laneway entrance filthy with all his materials laying around,ladder, paint sheets,tools, vacumn, pool hoses and brushes, buckets, empty esky mud, dust and grass clippings in pool area the list is endless.
Breach 3: Dogs were to be outside but have been kept in breezeway & was filthy & putrid.
As discussed with you until fencing was up you were happy for me to have dogs in breezeway and the yard outside. Once fencing was up for we could use the larger yard outside or shade and cover from rain for them.
I have gone over the tenancy agreement Part 3 special terms it does not say no dogs in house or breezeway. Dogs are not permitted in the house at all as per our verbal agreement which has been adhered to.
Note: As property is not marketable the rent will revert to $1200 per week as per lease until vacated.
Rent increases refer to tenancy agreement 10 - ss91 and 93 clause 3 - Also who determines that the property is not marketable? This is subjective to the person who is determining the property is or isnt. A property can be marketable in any condition wheather it is at its full potential or still undergoing renovations, work to be done outside etc Having hair on the shower floor and 2 dog bones in the walkway or guest isn't going to stop any buyer from buying your property.
Moving forward I would like to set up a conciliation to be had see attached Form 16 - This will be a 3 way conversation with a conciliator from the RTA to help rectify this matter in a professional way so both parties are informed correctly.
I'm also happy come to a mutual agreement between both parties to terminate tenancy with you covering my moving cost and full bond refund be returned.
Breaching me at night and entering property without 24 hours is unlawful entry. On numerous occasions you have entered property to gain access inside.
Land that was agreed for my horses is not available because you still have your horses on premises.
Under 24 hours notice given to me regarding agents coming in at 8.30am and viewing property, in which I was told agents were viewing property not yoy and Alison to arrive home at 9.20 and you and Alison talking in the kithen was unathorised entry.
If I was given sufficient notice I would have been able to clean mess around pool and lane way you made when mowing, sanding, and left your items in laneway from you doing maintenance and yes dogs as it had been raining and was needed a hose down, I do agree they did have there bones in there.
Study floor to be vacuumed after I had cleaned up all the mess on desk cupboard and draws which was left filthy
Broken items that still have not been fixed - only one room in house has cooling that is working, the Fan in bedroom top left not working , Aircon in the bedroom next to main blowing out some kind of smoke when turned on, bin in main kitchen keeps jammed, handle in kitchen cupboard, door to garage still not fixed and dangerous,
Bond lodgement still not submitted to RTA
