Forshelby; I am sorry to read that your real estate agent has given you such a hard time about this, which should have been a non-event. I guess QLD's residential tenancy act requirements are different to those of NSW and VIC, entitling the agent to inspect one month into the lease? That seems odd to me. RE agents often behave like they are something they are not, and with more authority than they really have.... Rather like a security guard thinking they are a policeman....

Do you have any old copies of letters that other agents have sent you, regarding the clean condition you have had your home? If you do, photocopy these, and attach them to a carefully worded letter to your current agent. Explain the above. If the Act specifies the first inspection is to be one month after moving in, then mention this too, and the fact that they have disregarded legislation and done things to their own tune (come up with better words, my brain isn't quite functioning atm, lol). If you can't get copies of those letters, do say that your home is well kept, and as happens, sometimes more important things need your attention, other than folding clean washing or wiping down a table... Also that you feel it is not their position nor place to be mentioning your children, and that you do take offence to that. It is un called for.

I really don't know who could be expected to be in a home (with or without children), for less than one month, and have everything in perfect order. Good luck, you are doing a super job. My condolences too....
