Nah you signed for $380, then that’s what you pay.
No you don't have to pay. They happily accepted the lower amount without informing you in a timely manner that the amount was short.
They should have issued receipts confirming the rental period covered and you relied on this documentation. Also as the drafter any ambiguity in paperwork is sufferred by them.
I would be ready to move on even if you decided to pay the shortfall. If they don't end your lease then they will (correctly) increase your rent as much as they can. They will likely be a problem moving forward.
Ask them if it’s legal and to put that in writing. Then mention your lawyer needs some other details. Even if you don’t have a lawyer.. they will either back down or engage their lawyers… if they don’t back down…. Get a lawyer.
Contract is a contract. You can present 100 emails, but if the contract is signed, that's the final agreed amount.
Uh, no. Signed contract. "Email? What email? Can't find that in my archive"
>But you did sign the lease knowing the amount wasn’t correct
What a cracking mental gymnastics routine.
They proposed a rent increase and then provided paperwork with no rent increase. How is the tenant supposed to be "aware the amount is incorrect" when they are provided with a legal document stating an amount?
>Hmm, reads to me like you were notified of the rent increase, starting at the first month of payment under the new lease and you just failed to pay it.
Have you tried reading it correctly? They've clearly stated that the amount was in the lease, and that the amount was direct debited by the real estate agency, and that when their payment system had issues, they did one off withdrawals at the amount stated on the lease.
Real estates don't 'propose' an increase. They state the increase.
Come on, we are adults and should have integrity. You get an email saying rent is increasing to $400 per week. You go to sign a lease on that basis. You see the lease says $380 per week which is the current amount you are paying. The tenant is aware of the error/ incorrect amount. It's just whether they choose to question it, or they sign and hope it never gets raised. Or if it does, 'I'm not paying, I have a contract'.
I must just be a different breed of renter.
It's been updated since I posted.
>Come on, we are adults and should have integrity.
Where is the integrity in blaming the tenant for paying what they agreed to and signed a legal document for? Where is the integrity in demanding that the tenant pay out your mistake as a company?
>Real estates don't 'propose' an increase. They state the increase.
? I've had no issues negotiating rent prices with real estate agents in the three states I've rented in. Rent increases are absolutely proposals.
>I must just be a different breed of renter.
Being arrogantly wrong doesn't really do much to set you apart from the average person.
You replied to it ten hours after it was posted. [It was edited 19 minutes after it was posted.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1111800388140670987/1120991617545945098/image.png)
Unless you opened it, left the post open for 10 hours, then came back and responded... it was changed before you replied.
Real estates don't ask if you'd like to pay the rent increase. They state the increase. It's then up to you to negotiate. If you don't, then you've agreed.
Having a different perspective is not being arrogantly wrong. You say 'where is the integrity in blaming the tenant for paying what they agreed and signed a legal document for? I'm saying 'where is the integrity of the tenant signing a legal document they knew was incorrect'. Both are valid points.
I'm not blaming the OP, I'm not saying the real estate didn't make the error. I'm not saying the real estate isn't contractually bound by what was signed. I raised it for the OP to factor in when deciding whether to argue it out with the real estate, since there was always a good possibility the real estate / landlord would eventually pick it up and raise it and OP must have known that. That's all. With the housing market the way it is, I thought it might be something to factor in.
>They state the increase. It's then up to you to negotiate.
Yes... they propose an increase and the you can agree or disagree. What's wrong with you?
>I'm saying 'where is the integrity of the tenant signing a legal document they knew was incorrect'. Both are valid points.
That is not a valid point. The property manager is responsible for creating the lease. Not the tenant. The tenant is responsible for doing what they agree to when they sign the lease.
Having a different perspective in itself isn't being arrogantly wrong. Being arrogant while being wrong... is arrogantly wrong. As a tenant, you have no responsibility to ensure the lease is accurate to what the property manager and landlord have discussed with each other. Your only responsibility is to fulfil the terms of the lease you have been presented with.
It’s located next to sydney art gallery. It was surrounded by barbed wire and had security cameras. My friend I was with said that she thinks it’s a jail but I said it’s more likely something to do with the art gallery?
Going by street view it's an electrical substation. It's written on a sign on the wall.
Zone substation, you’re looking at the roof/ventilation
It's a fence. That's not a building.
Back in the day, I believe it housed police horses.
Top of the train line going to eastern suburbs. I used to go with friends into the tunnels before they eventually used them. Lived in the bottom of Crown St and went to School at St Marys. This is over 50 yrs ago I'm talking about. We also had a sea pool where the domain pool is now. Wad all made of wood, board walk all around had a high dive the naval side opposite the grandstands. Bit never wracking when sharks swam the otherside of the steel bars. Also wasn't pleasant when ships docked as they emptied their bilges and a lot of oil came with it. There are still remnants of the old pool way underneath the concrete pool only viewable at low tide. We used to have our swimming carnivals there. While they build the new pool, we went to Ntj Sudney Olympic Pool. That's not the same as it was back in my younger days either. Remember the long walk back across the bridge after using up what little money I had, either at the pool or Luna Park next door.
An art installation perhaps 🧐
Nope, 100% an electrical substation. They don't come much more utilitarian than this place.
But the way the light and shadow interact with the industrial plane is sublime! Hahah
It really speaks to me of the divide between the free and the jailed...
the open and the closed. Just needs a fancy name plate now with a date hahah
How do you report underquoting real estate agents in Sydney and why isn’t it easier? Take a look at these jokers!

If you want to cause outrage people are going to need a bit more context.
If its valued at 3.85 mil then thats legal i believe. So expect sale price above that if it gets hot.
CommBank's estimated market price
$3,297,000
Could be between $2,802,000 - $3,792,000
Good on ya for calling them out. We all should be calling these people out, or at least start to
Wat u think it worth?
As the seller.. I’d negotiate with 3 agents and choose the one that best represents my interests…. ? It’s like reporting a car salesman… just move on…. Right?
Contact fair trade. You’ll need to provide written evidence, ie email or text.
There looks to be some recent activity on this vacant lot. Does anyone know what the latest developments are with respect to the proposed cinema complex at McGraths Hill/Mulgrave?
Says construction was meant to start early 2017. Has that happened?

There’s already an entertainment centre. It’s called Hillsong.

Hi, got a job offer for a higher position with higher pay (5 dollars more per hour) with better awards in Wagga. I'm currently working in Port Macquarie. I haven't been to Wagga yet and know nothing about the place except from online sources. For a family guy like me with kids., would it be worth the move? My kids love Port Macquarie and their schools and I don't wanna make a move only to regret later.
I got this fine from Blacktown City Council in the mail yesterday for parking in the wrong direction. Am I missing something obvious, before I appeal this?
As you can see in the pictures they took, there’s no room for the driver to get out if it were parked the other way around. There’s no foot path or nature strip or even a setback from the fence. Even if the pallet, the trees and trolley were not there it wouldn’t be safe to open the door and get out because the kerb has collapsed down about a foot from level ground.
If that wasn’t enough, there are no markings on the road to indicate the direction of traffic. There is a sign (see pic) that has information about the parking lot. Situated right next to the driveway as if it were the entry. Which would mean my car was parked in the correct direction if it’s the entry to the car park.
Moreover, Google maps even suggests it is appropriate to enter the parking lot from both directions of travel.
Generally, a kerb is to the left of a vehicle when there is a two way road. A driver would need to cross oncoming traffic if it was expected that the kerb to be on the right.
Not to mention it came with a note that there had been a mistake and that this fine was left on the car. There was no fine on the car. Seems like the penalty was issued at a later time after considering the $283 revenue it could earn if the commuters wouldn’t be bothered to question it.

1. there are no signs indicating it is a one way street from the prince st end
2. there are no signs showing no entry on the boys avenue end
3. the no entry sign on the other end doesnt prove it's a one way
4. there are no signs indicating the parking direction
4. find the law about parking to the left of a 2 way street.
If they've changed the signs since google street view, then disregard the above, because you'd be guilty
Thats a 2 way entry bro, i drive in and out of there all the time. Its not even a road with traffic, just a car park.
That's it, that's the post. I need help keeping my kid's busy this school holidays.

Hi
I'm keen to discuss an issue involving increased (unwanted) police activity that has arisen in a particular field over the last month or so. I want to open lines of communication between members of this community and police + understand their key concerns in order to try to work together to prevent ongoing issues.
I'm planning to just rock up to the police stations in the relevant areas and having a brief chat, explaining the situation and providing our contact details so the relevant staff can get in touch with us to organise a proper meeting.
This is primarily due to the importance of the matter, together with a lack of success contacting digitally/playing phone tag with assistance lines etc.
I'm a solicitor and will present professionally. Just wondering if anyone has actually done this or had any similar experiences - how did it go, how were you treated?
Edit - sorry, I kept it vague because I just want to discuss/hear about experiences of going into a police station in NSW and raising an issue. I don't want to debate my particular issue/other peoples issues - just want to keep it at surface level advice please !!!!
You sound like a Cooker looking to promote your sov citizen issues. Don't.
I hope you can explain the situation better than you just did here. I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you trying to say there has been an unwanted presence on this subreddit? A local park(field?).
Dude. Your profile is a goldmine.
