random_username 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 perfect tenants are hard to come by. sure, most got some niggling things, but in the larger scheme of things, if they pay generally on time, not troublesome don't thrash the place, to me, is ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maeryn 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 my tenants on aircon 24hs over the weekends, and one of the gal bought back her bf clothes home to wash..... how? =( as for aircon part, i can't really say anything as there is no fan inside the room. i have mention to them regarding the air con is only to be turn on at night and they "agreed" to it but still... what should i do? PUB bill should be on the way soon, expecting it to be around $300. may i knw what is the averge PUB bills should be for 4 person? Is the rental inclusive of utilities bill? If yes, you cant fault them for switching the aircon on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leave the door and gate unlocked is considered something serious to me. It may lead to a break in. I think you should find a time to talk to your tenants about these things that bother you. My 3 tenants switch on their aircons in the day and night, and sometimes 24hours although they agreed to my initial condition of only using the aircons at night before they moved in lol. Luckily my PUB bill is still less than $300, so I just let them be. 2 of my tenants are lazy to throw their own rubbish at the chute, so my kitchen bin is filled with their lunchboxes + panty liners etc everyday and I have to throw their rubbish everyday for them. I'm still alright about this. They used to scatter their sugar all over my kitchen table and forgot to turn off the tap water often but these problems had stopped after I reminded them nicely.

forgotten 1 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) i realised tenants don't follow the tenancy agreement as per agreed rental monthly. Then How? 1st time, I'll remind them nicely. 2nd time, I'll warn them. 3rd time, I'll give 1 month notice and ask them to move out. Otherwise I feel I'm working as Mrs Ah Long chasing for $$$.

Maeryn 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 Ya leaving the gate open may lead to a security breach which is a major issue. I'm not sure how useful is putting a cap on the utilities bill in the contract given that you are staying in the house as well. It is hard to ascertain how much electricity each tenant consume and hence who should pay more. Sometimes as the landlord you just have to suck it up. That's the thing about renting out, it's a matter of luck if your tenant is good or not. Telling them off too much might lead strained relationships and further conflicts.

That reminds me of a friend who stayed with me for a while. Doesn't flush the toilet after peeing no matter how many times I reminded him. Can tell me to flush for him somemore. Left his socks and underwear on my kitchen counter top and dining table *duh* My weekly cleaner always scringe whenever she has to clean his room. End up I have to ask him to move out before it destroys our relationship. Not worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you share same toilet with your tenant? Yucks used pad on your hair mask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the ugly habits (including my ugly habits haha) are only slowly revealed after some time of living together. During 1st meet up, tenants and owners will show only the best side to each other, this is human nature. Edited August 20, 2010 by forgotten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
