VWL legal team... i need your help.

Just moved of house, agent is trying to take $200 out of my bond for cleaning (that was then cleaned by the owners). she has photo evidence of the items:

one is for mould on window sills of 3 rooms (barely visible)

section of uncleaned skirting boards.

inside edge of dishwasher not wiped clean

rim around 2 stove burners not clean.

I think its unreasonable because stove and washing machine were brand new 22 months ago (when we moved in) and that they expect it to be in the same condition... but it doesnt stop someone from renting it, therefore its not worthy to detract from bond. Especially since it affects my rental history majorly.

oh and i forgot to add that there were weeds down the side of the house i forgot to remove. all up would take half a day of work and some scrubbing for stovetop.

also note that house has been on the market for a few weeks now and has not been filled, had 2 inspections a week plus price drop and i dont think theres any takers.

I should have known

I should rock out with some 20" SSR professors, dat coin doe. Need 'fake' ones.

Half a days work... I'd be pretty happy they're only taking $200..

the house has no grass or weeds or plants when we moved in...so backyard/side of house is bare. we were the first tenants.

i tried being reasonable and said $100 for the stuff i'd missed. if the owners did it in their own time, they dont earn cleaning rates. different if they got it professionally done and provided a receipt.

they ignored my offer for what I thought was reasonable and just said "please reply agreeing to the $200 so we can submit the return of your bond"

saw your car on VSKF's in 19....

looked TITS

will be bloody hard to get them in those sizes for $2k though

I'm almost tempted to try 20s again though.

Sound like fussy owners over a bit of mould and some weeds.

Don't know enough about real estate but there's prolly $200 of profession work in it with weeding and mucking around with that shit. Was it like that when you moved in / in the property report? Have you done any extra (not required of tenant) maintenance for the place in your own time?

Next time give a kid $20 to do it for you

Oh and buy a Beko they're farkin great

Leigh, if you go 20's are grippy tyres available at reasonable prices? Or would moving to really low profile 20's going to cost you an extra $1k in tyres over the next 2 years due to 'rare tyre sizes'?

Why not spend half the day doing all that stuff rather than paying the $200?

I cant because the owners have already done it after she tells me about it (and after she took photos).

i know $200 is pretty small, but the mould and stove is petty shit. and I am tempted to throw in the towel, but it means that they can get away with an extensive list of little shit + one/two issues and guarantee a win regardless of going through the tribunal or not.

f**k em. its already wasted enough of my time. im FIFO bitch.

The 20's suit that car well as the arches are HUUUUUGE, but those rims look aids... rears are OK but fronts suck the wang

Rodney Jane called, he wants his wheels back

lol BUUUUUUUUUUUURN

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
