Mistakes in tenancy agreement signed by PM

I sent a few emails to PM. No reply from them yet. No answer to my calls and voice messages at all.

 

PM rate is greater than 10% as they charge me a fixed fee.

 

Your PM sounds fairly *****, TBH.

Not sure what area of QLD your IPs are in, but if it's in FNQ then drop me a PM and let me know who it is, please? I don't ever want to deal with them.....

 

Of course, all instructions are in writing (emails)

 

Let's see how PM will sort out this issue first. If I am not happy with outcome, I will let you know them.

 

@melbourne171 What made you decide on the agency you're using out of interest?

 

I could not contact PM till now. He did not picked up the phone or reply my email with an answer. (

 

2 weeks ago, PM has prepared amended agreement but he is still unable to get tenants signed yet. He said that tenant is in hospital now. So, it took 3 weeks but PM cannot sort out amended agreement. I am too tired to chase him. He never keep me informed what is going until I call him. I decided to appoint a new PM.

 

Completely right Property PRO, many agents will attempt to put clauses into their agreements that " reserve the right to increase rent" after 6 months however you must clearly indicate what this rent is to be and when it is from if this is during that lease period. Other wise your local tribunal will knock it on the head and agents caught trying to contract outside the legislation risk getting big fines!

 

Did you instruct the PM about the rent increase you were planning in writing as well?

I would suggest that they are possibly responsible for part of that lost rent if this was something you communicated clearly earlier - very similar to sending a renewal with the wrong weekly rent

 

They overlooked the 2018 part - I've seen those mistakes before.
I would just see the tenant in person and explain that we did not mean to sign an 18 month lease so can we just make an amendment here. You may be surprised that most tenants would say yes - it clearly was a mistake.

The tenant CAN however hold the agency accountable to the lease - it IS binding.
In that case the agency needs to compensate you for the mistake made in house.
