Society/Culture Landlords - What is the point?

It's an attack piece on renters rights

I know that's the intention, 'vile' 'aussie dad' etc. Actually reading through it with some media literacy showed they do have some rights that were upheld

 

[yodellinhank]

What was illegal about the eviction? Says they were given notice to vacate due to sale, which is normally 60 days. Reads to me like the landlord didn't have insurance for unpaid rent.

“The stress of tribunal not giving us answers and siding with the renter; it all adds to the stress," Taylor said.

"Even as a property manager, taking on that stress for them was massive. I had to take mental health days just to cope with it all because we were not getting the outcome that we needed.”

Surely this is a pisstake.

I never said it was illegal
I said in other countries it is illegal
I also said they can sell without vacating the tenant.

They can't vacate a tenant in a lease just because they want to sell, it would have to be month to month leasing.

As a landlord you can't just evict tenants upon sale, I've recently sold a unit with a tenant in it.

I was not allowed to just kick the tenant out, it's law. Not that I wanted too anyway.

The purchaser takes over the property with the tenant in place until the tenancy contract expires, that's the law.

Do you think shit tenants should face no consequences? Clearly it's too easy for renters to game the system.

Yeah, side with the freeloader. I'm not surprised.

It's amusing that you're trusting a real estate agents account of a situation.

I've had personal experience with a shit tenant who paid when they felt like it and sooked when they were a given notice to vacate. Whether that specific story is legit or not matters little - there's countless similar examples.

Not doubting that at all.

I'll side with you against shit property managers and landlords.

There should be an app so shit tenants can hook up with shit landlords.

barreness said it was initially an illegal eviction. And yeah, whatever happens in other countries isn't really relevant.

You can sell a tenanted property, sometimes it might be advantageous but often I would think not. Wouldn't have thought it would be advantageous with a dodgy tenant that's frequently short in their rent.

- I posted earlier the notice is normally 60 days but I think that might be if you're moving into the property yourself. Think it's normally 120.

You can just read the article, the tribunal or whatever refused to give them a vacate notice, I presume it wasn't a legal notice but detail is scant in that piece of propaganda

So you just make up whatever you want to fill the blanks?

A notice to vacate is served by the property manager or by the landlord.

Yeh this, yodellinhank I presume the landlord attempted to break the contract

I mean yeh, Yahoo finance article quoting only a property manager requires some filling in the blanks

 

[evolved2]

Yeh this, yodellinhank I presume the landlord attempted to break the contract

Why make that presumption? There's other reasons for the tribunal to make that decision. It's not just those evil rich capitalist-loving parasite landlords who break the rules, you know.

I presume there was no fixed term contract, which allows for 60 days notice.

Good luck packing up a family and finding a new place in 60 days

Plus having the money to move and pay new bond on that kind of short notice

Yeah, a lot of places aren't being rented out or are short stay now because it's much easier than ending up with some deadbeat who doesn't pay the rent as agreed and won't move out when you want them to and as required to by law.

i tend to think the real deadbeats are the people profiting off others needing somewhere to live and demonising them at the same time
