So recently I found out that my tenants had done a runner without paying rent. They haven't paid rent since the beginning of the year, my property managers, who I pay good money, didn't tell me until it had been 4 weeks since they last paid. From the date they skipped out they had 6 weeks left on their contract (they didn't know I wasn't renewing)

Is there any legal recourse you can take against them that won't cost you even more money? : (

Not really, I mean I have insurance to cover the rent and the bond for the damage so I will get what I'm owed (mostly) it's just the frustration at the moment and the more my budget blows out for repairs that I had to do anyways the more pissed off I am. If the repairs/renos could wait it wouldn't be so bad but my place is negative geared and I can claim all repairs/renos as a tax write off as long as my intention is to rent it out again, which is harder to prove to tax office if I'm living there when it's happening!

I think I'm most pissed that I'm 32 trying to be a big responsible adult and I'm borrowing money off my parents for stuff I know I can pay for but for some other jerk thinking it's ok to just run away and leave me with not only not getting what they owed me, but the added bonus of other debt collectors knocking on my door, and threatening me because they think I'm hiding their whereabouts.

I just want my home back and I want pretty things in it!
