Guest annemarie and brian Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 yes would lose bond but am not worried about that just the fact we could really not afford for the rest of the rent so am really confused what to do about it...

the dougans Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 would you loose your bond and have to pay rent until lease ends ?/ what a shame hope you get someone or can you not speak to agent see waht they can do or maybe they can get someone soon they could start viewings while you in house ??

Guest gary12 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 When we broke our lease we had to pay the costs for advertising and a percentage of the bond pro rata for the remaining time once someone had taken over the lease. It took 10 weeks to find someone to take over it but I think our agents were just not that helpful. We were happy to sign over the bond as payment for the weeks remaining but had a long fight on our hands to get it back when they owed us money. You could of course just pack up and leave and post the keys through the door if your conscience will allow that, mine wouldn't! It is best to be upfront with them, I think you can appeal as well to break the lease if you can prove hardship, I may be wrong, speak to the agent you never know they may just have someone wanting a place like yours. regards Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi Annemarie, PLEASE, before you speak to the agent contact the Residential Residencies authority, for advice on how to break the lease and what you should be charged for. RTA: Achieving fair rental outcomes in Queensland Remember they are not your agents they are the landlords agents. they may be nice people, but their job is to get as much money as possible for the landlord. Speak to the RTA first, their advice saved me money.:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
