BACK HOME WE GO!!!

Well so far since leaving home
 We have yet to experience any cold weather!
It was like 27 every day up in Townsville in July, which was beautiful!
Mt Isa was starting to warm up when we were there, so we got out of there quick smart!!!
Now we are in Canberra
The temps here are really heating up!!
Thank Heaven
 for
AIR CONS!!!
I said to Husband the other day
what the hell are we doing here now we should be in Tasmania!
Well as it turns out we are lucky we are here now, as we are only a few hours away from
home & that is where we need to head back to!
When we rented our home out last year we thought we had picked the
best one out of a crook bunch of people we in interviewed.
NOT!!!!
The fellow we choose was, a likeable kind of bloke
 he reminded me of
Dagwood Bumstead!
Anyway he gave us this sob story which, silly us believed!
 He went on to tell us how he has been hard done by in the past & so on & so on!
We gave it a great deal of thought & decided on him & his 3 children!
Well this bloke has turned out to be the biggest liar we have ever known not to mention.......
Missed rent, threatening of our elderly neighbours in which the police were
 called  & it goes on & on & on!!
He is a bloody nightmare!!
We didn't want to rent it out through a real estate as I begrudge giving them money as I have had bad experiences in the past with real estates & I feel they do not do their job properly!
Anyway we have now issued this bloke with an eviction notice which I made sure was personally 
delivered to him so as to be sure he gets it!
Which he did yesterday & he sent mark a text message which is nearly
impossible to interpret as he cannot spell!!!
We did manage to interpret some of his jumble.......
I will see you at the Tribunal!
Oh no!!!!
We feel he is not going to get out by the date given to him which is in 2 weeks!
We have landlord insurance & also police reference numbers of the incidents in the past!
We plan on going home as soon as he is out, I am going to ring the dept of fair trading today & find out our rights!
We feel like going up there & staying in our garage in the hope he will get sick of us & move his bum out! 
(The garage was not for his use)
Once he is out we just hope that there is no damage, as we spent
months & a fortune doing it up before we left!
This time we are thinking we will have to bite the bullet & let a real estate manage it
As we don't want to have to face this again!

Till next time wish us luck!
Cheers!

  1. Hey, bummer about your tenant from hell - and good luck with the eviction.

    I've just been reading through your last few posts -they brought back happy memories of some of the places we've visited over the years, and also gave us something to look forward to in visiting the ones we haven't been to yet.

    And love the signx (as you'd know from reading my blog)!!

    Happy travels!!
