My settlement date is in less than a week. I recommend you attempt to negotiate with the landlord and come to an agreement before the NCAT deadline. Will our rental history be tarnished if we choose to dispute rather than lose our entire bond + potentially $1000 in compensation? MY final inspection is soon and they say if everything is not upto their expectations they’ll either take money from my bond or take me to court. The agency and owner is now expecting me to pay for things I consider wear and tear. also when we moved in we had 2 cracked pains of glass on the entrance door and one day the wind picked up and blew the door shut breaking those 2 pains we replaced all pains with wood to save it happening again..are we up for the cost? We agree that it would be considered accidental damage. Are we not in our right to leave the unit as we found it?

Can I seek your opinion on my situation? We have just ended our lease after 2 years in our apartment. All the issues were very trivial and quite frankly un-true. I guess the clear question revolves around an interpretation of whether dog urine staining on carpet is fair wear and tear?. If you are unhappy, then you can always take the Landlord to the Tribunal or NCAT, if you are in NSW. I tile has 1 inch big burned spot and the other tiles have less than .5 cm burned spots. Where exactly is the water damage? I did not go over the property condition as closely as I now know I should have. Was this noted on your ingoing report? Hi, thanks for going through all these questions. Bec Reid. There is nothing else I could have done in this instance and it would be impossible to get a colour to completely match the carpet. The toilet has been routinely cleaned but naturally some discolouration has occurred. I had a potplant on the carpet and it ruined that area of carpet. If you get a handyman to do this it may be cheaper than a painter and they would also be able to match the colour of the other walls in the room. We would suggest you double-check the Ingoing Inspection Report and any photos that the Property Manager may have taken and see if the scuff marks were there before you moved in. Hello – thanks for your comment. You still have to pass the next inspection. 6 light bulbs including difficult to reach downlights and lights that were not even listed as blown in the outgoing condition report).

My landlord is saying I should pay for the replacement of the whole of the fire surround. where do i stand? Sorry for the delay in responding. Cleaning – $517 – We have used the agent cleaner and they were not happy with the work and asked us for him to come back and clean again. Did you take the matter to tribunal? We thought that was unreasonable considering it had by then been two weeks since occupancy. You say they continue to use it in the state it is in – what is it’s current state? Hi Paul – thanks for your comment. I moved in being careful and all was good except I dropped something on the floor in the kitchen and it dented the floor. Real estate wants it to come out of the bond – are we liable. This time closely monitor their management over the first 12 months at least. Some people’s perception of ‘fair’ can differ also.

We hope this helps, Bec, Hi, If you have a Landlord who likes everything looking good, he may agree. We hope this helps, Bec Reid. What sort of quote have they received for a resolution for repair? They should have recognised that the dog caused the damage and insisted the tenant rectify it.

We recently vacated a property after residing there for 3 1/2 years (it was brand new when we moved in). The fittings used were a bit cheap (although the unit was lovely). The medicine cabinet mirror came off it’s hinges when I was using it. Have you had pets in the property? Hi, we moved into a brand new apartment in July last year. Hi, Do you recall how it was caused? Good afternoon Bec – Last week Monday I handed back the keys for a rental property I was in for 4 years. The scratches are not intentional or deep. There was chip paint and scuff marks but because I was in the house 11 months the real estate said its not fair wear and tear. Bec Reid, Hi. Thanks, Natasha, Hi Natasha, thanks for your question and comments. Hi Carol, thanks for your question. We received a receipt of carpet cleaning to be removed from our bond which was not a contractual condition, nor mentioned to us prior to occurring. Please understand that we have not inspected the premises and thus can’t give you a definitive answer. I accidentally dropped the candle and I burned 3 tiles. Thanks Tracey. Now the agent is asking us to pay $100 for the fan (saying the owner has only agreed to pay 180 of the total cost of replacing it). Hope this helps – Vanessa. We hope this helps. Will this effect her claim? 4. Surely we can pay a fee to have the debts mended and not pay for an unnecessary replacement. Our opinion is that you should argue that it is not your problem and if there is damage to your furniture, you will claim compensation. My wife and I are in our late 50’s and responsible tenants. We hired the cleaner she suggested, and the cleaner says she has no photos of before and after her cleaning job. We have already paid the cleaner beforehand $350! Is this considered wear and tear, otherwise, how can I argue to reduce the payment? Vanessa.

With relation to the medicine cabinet, our opinion would be that it is considered as fair wear and tear. This is copied directly from NSW Fair Trading’s website “You are not responsible for fair wear and tear to the premises. The landlord sold the house vacant possession. Thanks.

My landlord is claiming the full cost to repaint one wall that has a mark on it (accidental damage) the paint is 4 years old and the mark covers less than 20% of the wall. What I’m asking is did the Vendor/Landlord do a band-aid job of fixing the items you mention in the hope you wouldn’t see them? The tenant at my suggestion has called in a carpet person to see if they could repair the carpet. Have the agents given you an indication of what they want you to do to fix it? Again thank you and I look forward to any advice you may have , Hi Michelle, thanks for your comments and question.

When we were back in Australia doing some work on the house, we noticed that the tenants’ dog had damaged a large sliding door and an internal door (there are scratches all along the bottom).

I have repeatedly asked the agent if he is certified to do the work and they refuse to answer, instead asking me [quote] “why do you want to know”.
