For tenants- how often is your rent put up?
For landlords- How often do you put rent up?
We have had our rental property for 4 years, same tenant the whole time and we are planning to put the rent up for the first time
In saying that though, now we manage this house next door and the tenants know they can come and tell us if anything needs repairs and hubby goes over immediately.
Two weekends ago they called hubby cause they couldnt change a light bulb so he went over to do it for them and noticed the screen door was barely hanging on by one hinge.
He asked when that had happened and they told him "Dont know. A while ago i think".
Hubby took the door off and fixed it.
But geez, when were they gonna mention it...when it had fallen off completely?
Amy, i'm convinced that happens a lot. I don't have a very good opinion of RE agents because of their couldn't care less attitude to good tenants. Another thing I notice, each and every time you ask for repairs to be done, your rent goes up.
Its all about the money for them. They screw over the tenants while ripping off the landlords
Im with you freddie.
When we confronted the agent about the womans door lock being broken, she (the agent) first tried to tell us she had told us about it and then claimed the tenant hadnt mentioned the door lock being broken.

My brother bought a house and rented it out through RE agents. He went past the property one day and saw a tradesman doing some work on it. Without revealing himself as the owner, he asked some questions and the tradie said that the REA was a mate and this was "pretend work" to give both of them a profit.
Shortly after that, the tenants gave notice that they would not be renewing their lease ... their reason was that the REA had not responded to their requests for maintenance ...
😮
OMG, did your brother report the agent
