Ok, so the place i rent is being sold. And it is driving me nuts. We only found out because the person selling it called us to come look inside. then she called this morning at 830 to see if a building inspector could come see it today! she was hoping we wouldn't answer so she could just do it! We told her no. she asked for mon and I said no because we won't be home after the photographer that came through we're not having anyone here unless we're here. She then gave the company our SILENT phone number without permission to call me direct. She also told me the inspection would take 15 min... try an hour! So I've organised that.
Then, late today guys turn up and start laying mulch in our yard!!!!! No warning, no phone call, nothing! Is this allowed?! Then the guy knocks on the door and tells me they want to come back tomorrow to high pressure clean the court yard tiles! WTF? Where is the notice? ANd they'll use water we have to pay for! (Small quibble but it is the principle). Is this kosher? Does anyone know? Does the 24hrs written notice to enter a premises include the yard or just the house?
It all sounds really disorganised and rude to me. It's been too long since I've rented, so I can't remember the laws, but hopefully someone else will be able to give you a clue. Having BTDT twice before, I have every sympathy, it is such a PITA when your rental is being sold......at least our owners told us they were doing it!!!!!
through an agent with a signed lease. I have checked the Victorian Tennents Association and it says they have to give 24hrs written noticed to enter the premesises but not sure if it is just the house or the yard as well?
Guess which little ducky is on the war path?! I just found out the guy doing all the gardening is THE OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just went and had a friendly chat with him and reminded him they are suppose to give 24hrs notice before entering premesis and he claimed it didn't even occur to him to contact us! Ooooooooooooooooo so writing that in the log!!!!!!!!!
Ooooh I forgot to reply to this thread, they are very much doing the wrong thing by far!! Firstly they need to give notice & secondly they need to advise if its the owner doing the work!!! If there are inspections & pics being taken, well that should all be done by the agent. Who do they think they are!!!! WTF didn't occur to him!!!!
I would ring the property manager right now.
