As another poster said, they CANNOT use bond money for anything else other than keeping in a trust account. I'd be contacting the rental board (or whatever it's called in Australia) to let them know that the cheque has bounced so they can investigate. The company could be fined for improper use of bond funds.
I hope you get this sorted out. Best of luck! |
Well, they told me that if their guys have to come in and do ANYTHING to the house to get the new renter in, we'd be responsible for it..as in, it would get taken out of our security deposit. I asked if anything was covered under normal wear and tear and they told me no because it is (was..we lived there for a year) a brand new house..
Some things off the top of my head that weren't on the list were wiping off the ceiling fan blades (even though our living room ceiling was at least 25 feet tall), wiping down the baseboards, cleaning behind the washer and dryer, etc. Basically, they wanted their old tenants to clean up everything for their new tenants. It was a load of BS, but I didn't know what to say to get around it..so I ignored it so I didn't have to deal with it anymore..
