Legal Advice Or Representation Required

I am currently having major issues with my current tenant.

She has lost her job and has not paid rent for almost 2 months, even though she is getting welfare, etc. Following the advice of the operators on the Consumer affairs helpline we applied to vacate her. Unfortunately that advice was wrong, as the paperwork was done in the wrong order, thus the case was dismissed.

After the dismissed hearing I sat down with her solicitor (Legal Aid) and agreed on a structured payment plan. The solicitor assured me that she had the money for the first instalment (about 75% of what was owed). Less than one hour b4 the pick-up time, I receive an SMS (from her) stating: "Don't bother coming to pick up the money". Attempted to call, but was simply hanged up on. Contacted her solicitor and he also had dramas with contacting her.

I have just started the paperwork again, but this time I want to ensure there are no mistakes/loop-holes. I want to be represented by a solicitor, someone that has dealt with such matters, or at least well versed in these issues. I will of course pay for your/their services.

So if there is someone on here, or if you know someone, I would really appreciate some help and service.

You can contact me via PM or call: 0427 076490

PS: Hearing/Court Case will be held at the Sunshine courts. This is determined by VCAT and the location can not be moved.

Thanks

Alan

Al,

Sorry to hear about the dramas you are having :thumbsup: I'm sure Nat would have some contacts if you want to get hold of me otherwsie....there is a little thing called the National Tenancy Register. You have to be a real estate agent or strata title holder to put peoples name on but it is linked to the credit register and means that they'll never be able to rent a place again and the chances of getting any kind of credit are not very high.....might be worth looking into.

Send in elite Ninja's.

Failing that, most solicitors should be able to get you through this however I have never have deal with a tennant issue before so I cant help with any recomendations. However I bet is a fairly common event.

I never understood the law when it came to this. Why can't you just call the cops, they are trespassing on your property, no different if someone was in your house (you lived in) and wouldn't leave?

Why can't you just remove them and their stuff and change the locks?

i would say VCAT and change the locks.

dad (real estate agent) has to go through it all the time...

i can ask him details if you would like al?

Correct,

My missus work at VCAT at the moment and does all the hearing, she said to go to VCAT site, download an application form and send it in and she'll look after it.

I can pm you her work's email address so you can throw questions.

As I understand it, the law would rather have a landlord out of pocket than a family on the streets.

It's not justice, but there it is.

All you can really do is go through the motions and use a better agent to lease your property, because proper screening should minimise the chances of this happening again.

"I know what's happened. They issued an application for a hearing at the same time as they issued a notice to vacate. Vcat have just changed the rules and now you have to wait two days befoe issung the application for a hearing.

They will need to apply for a new hearing, get an order for possession, rental owing and the bond. Once you get these, take out a warrant of possession at Vcat. Give it to the coppers. The coppers will make a time to be there, they arrange for a Locksmith to be there too. The coppers will do the eviction and the Locksmith will change the locks. You the need to place an eviction notice on the door.

Hope this helps"

Forgot to say, you don't need a solicitor to represent you mate,

You can represent yourself or rock up half an hour early, there will be a duty lawyer that you can ask for help or if you'd really like to make sure for yourself, go to 55 Kings way and it's either 5th floor or ground floor and again ask for a duty lawyer.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
