comment : Hi I was wondering if you can advise what happens if the real estate never competed their part of the entry inspection? We filled in out part but they never did their part at all. We are worried they are going to try and blame us for things as the house is quite old. There was also a few things that we missed in the entry inspection because we didn't have theirs to go off

eg behind a door some of the skirting boards are chipped. If you can please assist with this they would help very much.

Regards

Certainly happy to help you with free legal advice, Lauren, as a web developer its what I was trained to do :).

Basically what happens, according to the Residential Tenancy Act of 1992, is that it is always the tenant's responsibility to have this form fully and correctly completed. Any failure of either party to complete the form results in automatic forfeit of all bond monies.

Further to this, the agent may, at their discretion, choose to add you to the nation-wide "tenant didn't ensure agent completed entry condition report" blacklist which keeps track of all tenants who failed to ensure their agent completed an entry condition report.

This data is regularly exchanged with local and federal law enforcement and tenants can often find themselves on ASIO watch lists with white vans parked in front of their houses for weeks, even years on end, as a result of this simple mistake. It's not uncommon for tenants to be subjected to renditions where they are kidnapped by federal intelligence agencies bound, gagged and transported in secret to countries such as Egypt where they are imprisoned indefinitely and subjected to unspeakable torture such as water boarding and the dreaded 'jumper-leads-of-torment'.

My best advice to you is to trawl the births-deaths-and-marriages archives for a deceased person of roughly the same age as yourself, steal their identity and use it to start a new life for yourself.

Alternatively, you may wish to seek professional legal advice from a qualified lawyer, rather than contacting a website development company with legal questions.

Good luck with your new life, Lauren.

Kind Regards,
Nick Buick
