Tenant not signing lease renewal

Yeah..i had photos for the whole house after it was totally cleaned up.. emails of course are ready.. i was just wondering since I left the property on 1/5 the agency have not responded to me except after 2 weeks from the lease exit with no pictures or a proper report! There are even tenants in the house !

 

So my bond is pending still in the RBO they have not replied since 14/5..how long i should wait? And if they claimed would I escalate through the online system?

 

I'm pretty sure if agency claims some you get an email notification. You can try doing a claim yourself in online bonds which agency then gets an approve/ decline request. If parties don't agree then it goes to tribunal (at agency expense).

 

Yeah i already submitted a refund request online on 14/5 when they ignored my calls and emails for 2 weeks. I should have used that tool as soon as i vacated the premises though but because i never used that before i believed them when they advised me they are the one that should do it online .

 

Hey guys.. in reference to the same story.. after i submitted my refund request for my bond online on 12/5..only today i found an update on the online bond system that it was "disputed" and referred to SATAC! no one even contacted me from the agency or the tenancies bond to advise how much the agency claiming for or any detail! I feel the agency have done something fishy! Any idea where do I stand?!

 

Digging up an old post here, but unable to find the answer.. Is this also the case in NSW?

If for example the lease ends next weekend and the tenant hasn't signed a new lease and no notice of termination has been sent, then how long does the tenant have to vacate by NSW law?

 

@Mel Morgan looks after NSW and might have the answer for you.

 

If notice hasn't been issued by the PM, then the lease will go to holdover (21 days notice from the tenant or 90 days from the PM) however 30 days notice to vacate may still be issued at any time up to the expiry of the lease - they might email or drop it off on Friday.

Ending a tenancy

 

What Scott No Mates said above. Most agencies will just let you roll onto a periodic tenancy with these notice periods, some agencies will try to force the tenants to choose between another fixed term or forcing you to vacate.

On a different note I lodged a bond with RBO and they totally stuffed up - paid me the $3907 owed to the tenant and the $53 of water usage I was after to them. Luckily it was in our favour and we could fix it up with the tenant!

 

The lease end date has been and gone and no new lease has been signed and no notice has been served.

I presume this means it is legally now a periodic tenancy and the tenant has to be served 90 days notice?

 

Yes 90 days in NSW if property hasn't been sold and there are no breaches.

 

Just for context (as this was on page one), the above was referring to periodic lease.

What happens if you know that the tenant will be leaving soon but not just yet when the lease is up. They need a month or two or more as buffer. For example people that are building and their schedule has slipped. In this scenario, would you still insist on them signing a new lease? Even if it’s just for say two months?

 

Once the lease ends and If no notice served it is periodic. Either accept the uncertainty with tenant now having a 21 day notice period (WA) or the Lessor having (60 days in WA, not sure elsewhere?). Note that there is nothing stopping you both from agreeing a different arrangement if agreed in writing. Or alternatively, as the Lessor give Notice now and force the issue (or at least a discussion on the issue).
