Is anyone aware of any private databases in NSW where we can name and shame a previous tenant. I have avoided NCAT because it doesn't matter how bad the tenants were they will not allow you to list them on the database.
Anything will help.
We’ve had ongoing issues with our apartment from holes in the walls, water damage from plumbing issues, rodent entry etc. We withheld rent for one month as the issues went unresolved from the 1st of December 2021 to the 31st, a certified letter was mailed as directed in the FL law, repairs were not done until 02/02, 30+ days from the date of certified letter (letter IS on file with property management so it was received.) FL statue 83.56b states tenants have the right to withhold and have rent reduced for days dealing with noncompliance. Does this situation have to go to court in order to have the rent abated? Any info is helpful, writing from South FL
Reimbursement for damaged items by landlords handyman. Hi everyone, My questions is about who is responsible for damaged items and how to get reimbursed for it. The handyman that works for the landlord broke my vaccum cleaner when he was doing repairs while we weren't home. He admitted to using it but denies breaking it. He also broke my surround speaker by not handling it properly and admitted to that. The landlord is not willing to pay for the vaccum and says it's between me and the handyman and that the handyman is an independent contractor. It's a black and decker vaccum and costs as much as 200$. The speaker, I'm willing to forfeit as it still works and is pretty old and I don't care much.
What recourse do I have? Can I deduct the amount from the rent and tell the landlord to settle it with his handyman? I don't want to ask the handyman as he has his own difficulties with money

In October I will be having a major surgery. I currently rent an apartment with my boyfriend. We live 45 minutes away from us and is going to come stay for a week (ish) to help take care of me and get me settled. Obviously she will not be bringing furniture, receiving any mail here, or even parking here! She is just going to be here to make sure I’m recovering easy. Can my landlord charge me for that? I don’t hAve any visitor clause in my lease and, clearly, my mother is not going to be causes a nuisance.
Thank you.
If a renter got a 3 day notice but has not left and the ate renting a space on private property can the landlord lick gates to the property to avoid theft. Even if the landlord has to put a new lock on the gate
