. There are some really lovely looking places in Westminster / Nollamarra but am wondering if they are just shit suburbs?

uh yehh westminsters, pretty much balga, girawheen, don't get me wrong, not too shabby their, just alot of junkie/drug dealers in tht area,
my brother in-law lives their and he want's out! i think if you go more north darch-alexanderheights, which is a farely new area you will love it, more family orientated and safer! i've lived in alexanderheights for 3 years and i don't imagine moving anywhere else!
i'm actually applying for two house in the area 4 x 2 pets aloud and a double lock up car port!

wrong, if the tenant has a lease agreement then you can not evict them out unless they have broken conditions of the lease agreement.

If the new owner wants to evict the tenant then within 30 day of the lease expiring you must notify the tenant that you will not be continuing the lease and hence, they will be evicted from the home.

The lease agreement is betweent the tenant and the property owner. If party "A" no longer owns the property, there is no longer a contract/agreement. It has nothing to do with the new owner of the property. They're not involved in the agreement at all.

Well, at least that's how I understand it. Not that I've ever rented. Buying saves the hassle.

Unfortunately I need somewhere with good public transport and Darch and Landsdalr sadly lack a good transport network. I'm aso doing temp work between hospitals currently Armadale and Freo so need to be relatively close to the city to avoid a 2hour each way commute. Thanks for the email Andrew.

No.

Ashby is right. Lease is in place (with defined end date) it is still in force until it expires, doesn't matter if the owner sells. If it is a rolling/periodic lease then the landlord/agent can give the required notice then the house is vacant for the new owner. Some occasions the owners might come to an agreement so that the tenants leave but thats individual cases & no law against it.

Cheers for clearing that up mate.

Now Sarah, tell Mark to stop spending cash on the car, and buy a house!

It's all in the Residential Tenancies Act of 1987

P.S. I'm in my final semester of my property degree at Curtin, so I'm pretty sure that I'm right :P

Interesting.

The people who you are saying are wrong either have degrees or were property managers.

Dance dance revolution dance off at the leedy to work out who is right?
