Question:
The tenants Jane and James Green from 109 Harbour Road have vacated on the last day of their notice. You arrive to the final inspection and notice that there is a large pile of furniture and rubbish just outside the garage. This was not there when you were at the property 48 hours ago.
You do your final inspection and notice three other things of concern:
There is a small crack in the mirror door of the main bedroom robe.
The oven has not been cleaned properly.
It appears that there is some kitty litter in the carpet and a strong cat smell, even though the tenants were not permitted to have a cat at the property. The carpets have not been cleaned.
The property is a 2-bedroom unit, with a single lock up garage. There is light grey Berber carpet throughout, with slate grey Holland blinds throughout as well. Except for the issues identified the rest of the unit was clean and tidy.
- Explain the process that would need to undertake if, despite your best efforts, you are unable to resolve the bond issues with the Greens and the matter needs to be referred to an external agency.
- The Greens have accepted your solution and the matter of the bond has finally been resolved and tenancy has ended.
- List the documents including appropriate bond forms that will be kept in the file for this tenancy.
- Explain why it is important to keep these documents, even though the tenant has vacated and the tenancy has ended.
