  1. thatbum replied to the thread NSW Tenant requesting to replace carpet with floorboards in IP.

    I'd probably allow it. I don't see the big deal.

    Was venue decided yet? One vote for Otherside for me since its pretty close to me in Booragoon.

  3. thatbum liked Morgs's post in the thread Building a diverse property portfolio.

    I remember Warren Buffet was once quoted on diversification... "Diversification is protection against ignorance," Buffett said. "It...

  4. thatbum replied to the thread VIC Storage cage broken in and lease break.

    Well all I'm saying is that this is irrelevant, and all that's legally relevant is the loss of amenity and how long it lasted for. I...

  5. thatbum replied to the thread Reasonable amount of time between vacancies for PM bond inspection (7 days?!?).

    Sarcasm? 7 days seems reasonable to me considering things might need to be cleaned or fixed up. And that its going to be pretty rare...

  7. thatbum replied to the thread No TV antenna.

    Tough one, but probably yes, especially if there was an antenna cable port in the premises and it was not disclosed as non-functional.

  8. thatbum replied to the thread VIC Storage cage broken in and lease break.

    In short yes, if its resulted in lost amenity. There's no fault element to it - it can be for any reason not intentionally or...

  9. thatbum replied to the thread VIC Storage cage broken in and lease break.

    Just because a place was broken into, doesn't mean its not reasonably secure. It might be different if there was a defect in the...

    Its a pretty crappy argument from them on the info provided. As you said, there isn't any change in amenity from the start of the lease....

  11. thatbum liked MB18's post in the thread WOULD YOU RATHER: Historic growth vs Yet to boom?.

    Historic growth = plenty of people on the sidelines who feel they missed out. Future growth = a label given to every suburb that hasn't...

    This is a pretty weak argument imo. It certainly doesn't legally work as a 'defence' for a loss of amenity rent reduction claim.

  13. thatbum replied to the thread VIC Storage cage broken in and lease break.

    Oh its already been repaired? What's their emo then? It is somehow less functional that it was before?

  14. thatbum replied to the thread VIC Storage cage broken in and lease break.

  15. thatbum liked RENI99's post in the thread NSW Moving out tenant with dog.

    If there is no sign of dog - no damage , no smell, then what’s the problem? Sure not in lease so I understand that part. sounds like...
