Share our bad experience with this landlord of 61 Mount Sinai Drive in case you are engaged by her.
The unit was renovated long time ago (more than 10 years) with the original parquet floor from 1981. We rented the house for 2 years and renewed anther 2. No furniture was provided and we did not ask for anything along the way. The lease expired on 24 Jan 2020. First inspection was done on 04 Jan, nothing was mentioned by her what to be repaired. We thoroughly cleaned the house on 23 Jan and handed over the unit. I was told that a deficit checklist will be given by 24 Jan and I did not receive it till now.
One month after we moving out, I received a quotation from landlord for repair work costs $4055 (including vanish living room and dining room area, repair parquet floor & skirting costs $1720! and a cleaning fee of $550!) Our deposit was not refunded till now.

What can we do in this situation?

Hi Yanzhen, did you engage an agent to assist you on this rental unit in the 1st place that occurred 4 years ago?

    Yes, through agent engaged by landlord. However, renewal: landlord did not want to engage agent and want to do herself
Hi Yanzhen,

First of all so sorry to hear what you have went through.

As an external party, we will not be ale to comment on the works being done and also the costs of the repairs. What I can suggest is that if you feel that it is really unfair to you, you can go to Small Claims Tribunal Court to claim back the deposit that you deem is fair to be refunded to you. What I will suggest is that just before you do that, maybe you can see if you can have a talk with the landlord one more time to see if we can settle this amicably.

Hopefully this will be over for you soon. Feel free to contact me if you have anything that you wish to clarify.

Best Regards,
