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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
