Hi everyone, my unit purchase goes unconditional today and we complete on 7th December, only 2 1/2 months into my 6 month rental agreement! :scared:
Anyone need a rental in this area from mid December - January? The place isn't posh but its right smack in the middle of town,next to the train station and close to Raby Bay, 3 bedrooms AND WAIT FOR IT...only $290 a week rent which is pretty good for round here. When we moved here we couldnt find anything and at the last minute got this place so I thought the estate agents wouldnt mind me shortening the lease but they wont. A few BE people have suggested that If I can find someone interested in moving in then they should be ok with it? So if your interested PM me!

I'd have it if its still available towards the end of January.

Apparently breaking a lease is a standard procedure throughout Oz. You give agents as much notice as possible - they advertise as soon as you have given notice with an 'available from' date (about a week after you move out to allow for checks etc) and you are liable for the rent until a new tenant is found. You also get your bond back as soon as the new tenants move in after the agents send the claim off. We broke our lease a few months ago and luckily only had to pay 3 weeks rent on it. I think the agents also charged us a weeks rent (or thats what it equated to) for advertising fees.

Good luck anyway!

Hey thanks for the advice. I did ask them and they said they wouldnt consider it but I also got advised by someone else to wait until after xmas and ask again as thats when more people are looking at renting. So I'll deffo give it a go!

Hi there
To be honest I havent bothered too much yet as I just started work this week so have my hands full. I am still going to break the lease so if you get no joy before 7th December PM me (thats when I will be completing on the place I bought and will be looking at notifying the rental after that)

Re Breaking Lease

I spoke to someone today who broke the lease early in the contract - she only lost abut 70$ because she sought advice from rental bond people, advertised property, arranged viewings - a 15 minute slot just like agencies, they took the applications, passed on to agency who were no help whatsoever, they moved out, new tenants moved in - problem solved.
