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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
