never break lease!
Why did i think real estate agents over here were anymore trustworthy than in the uk? we have broken lease to buy a house, and was assured by the agent that rentals are impossible to come by, so we'll have no probs re letting.
doh! one week until we move and we still haven't found anybody. it's in the newspapers, internet etc. We have since heard that due to the huge amount of houses not sold, that they have now flooded the rental market with them. Is anyone else struggling to re let? I am now not sleeping at the thought of paying a huge new mortgage, plus the rent until someone takes over our lease. never believe what the agents say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: never break lease!
no, never believe what agents say.... rule number one in 99% of cases I'm afraid... they'll say anything to get you to do stuff!!!
BUT you seem to have been unlucky, I know we broke two leases and had no problems at all either time Good luck, you've still got time |

Re: never break lease!
I don't think the ramifications are as bad as you might think. There was a discussion on another Aussie expat forum where someone was taken to a tribunal for breaking their lease. If you give notice, show that you have advertised and helped to look for another tenant, the landlord/agent has also done their best to advertise and look etc you are not likely to incur the full rental charges, in fact the people that we know ended up paying no more than a couple of months on the remaining 9 months. The VCAT tribunal told them that just because the contract says 1 year rental, it doesn't mean it is totally legal, also if any part of their contract is even remotely unsound, the entire contract is inadmissable, as was the case in this instance.
My memory isn't fantastic, but if you look for the thread it might help. |

I can understand your frustration however you need to remember YOU have broken the lease....therefore you are liable for the rent for that time. So basically get over it

Even then, I have heard horror stories from Landlord we know in Victoria who have been screwed by tenants who have all but demolished their property and have got back squat in return even after court. Getting "due" rent for prematurly ending a lease is low on the scale of what these tribunals deal with. Remember contracts are a paper agreement that defines a practice and regardless of what was agreed on paper if the practice differs or is deemed unjust by a court/tribunal then the lease will have less input into preceedings or at worst be dismissed, as we have heard happen.
