Our turn to curse the instability of renting
Our secure little bubble has burst, landlord is selling and we’ve begun the hijinks of dealing with a sales agent that so far has lied to us in every interaction. We got on well with our landlord and got the heads up about the sale before they chose an agent - that agent has gone down the “we need to do a valuation but the landlord isn’t thinking of selling” routine. And kept referring to the landlord as the opposite gender 🤷🏻♀️ They’ve also twice expected us to waive proper notice periods and format. We compromised the first time (only because it was convenient for us), but today had a call asking to bring through a buyer’s agent TOMORROW.
No Intention to Sell has been issued, so not a chance in hell and you bet you will need to give us every second of notice we are legally entitled to.
Anyway, that’s my gripe over…
Question for the Victorians who have been through this - when and how does the compensation for opens work? Does this apply for when it’s reps of interstate investors or just for general opens? Is it better to have the compensation paid at regular intervals to our bank account or once the house has sold?
Thanks for any insights!
