Hi All,
My Mum is renting in Hamilton and I was chatting to her last night, her fixed term tenancy is coming to an end and she wants to stay on in the house. Her Property Manager has advised that if she wishes to have another fixed term then she must pay a fee of 1/2 weeks rent plus GST.
Further to that I found out that on top of the initial week plus GST she paid to get in to the house they charged her for the credit check costs. I thought the purpose of the week plus GST was to cover administration costs.. I have never heard of a manager charging a tenant so many fees and didn't think they were allowed.
Can anyone advise n this??
Thanks in advance
