we rented a property for 3 1/2 years,
so we vacated on the 23/10 since then we had a final report saying not clean enough and the ventaton blinds broken, it has since been recleaned and they still say blinds broken
in the time we rented not one 3 month rental inspection was anything ever said about the blinds, now they say they are getting quotes for them to be fixed, they weren't happy with the first quote and are getting another and its supposedly yo help us
where do we stand?

there is something in the rental tennancy act that refers to reasonable wear and tear. If the blinds are broken because they were old when you moved in and were on the way out anyway then you probably have a leg to stand on.
If however they are broken because you had a wild party then I suspect you are going to lose some of your bond money.
look up reasonable wear and tear online, talk to maybe the department of fair trading and have a chat with a solicitor.

either way it looks like you are going to be spending some money on something....either a solicitor or a new set of blinds.....unless you can sort something out with the agent before everyone gets upset.

good luck

Hello Rachael,

I understand that these matters can be frustrating and the answer lies in what the original entry condition report said about the blinds being “clean” “undamaged” or “working” and what you agreed or disagreed with those comments.This is the evidence.I do not understand why the agent needs a second quote if the expectation is that you are to pay for broken blind.This is highly unusual of you are happy to accept the first quote if you are willing to pay for the damage.
