I wonder what happen to the particular house that parents rented out?hmmmmm......
I'm currently staying with my brother here in Australia and life can be tough sometimes when you don't have enough to sustain...but fortunately we managed.
We rented a house here obviously because we are not permanent resident. Brother will only be here for another 1 year or so. So the contract for this particular house lasted for a year and next year yet another house searching activity is essential.
It is a good business to embark on but most of it goes through agent. I'm not surprised because of the demand in time and rules restriction best is left with the expert. In our scenario, we have to maintain the house as if it's our own. Every 3 months, the agent will come to inspect just to make sure that the house is in order or else....breach contract. We (I mean my brother) have to pay the rental every week without fail otherwise....breach contract!. I know I'm paraphrasing here but breach contract is one thing that they don't take lightly so you should read the contract before signing....period!
In my recollection, we have been moving from one district to another because of Dad's position as a teacher. If I'm not mistaken, we have been staying in 6 different houses until to this one that we finally can call a house of our own. Dad bought the land which comes with a house. Quite a small old house but because of insufficient fund, Dad only managed to renovate and make it bigger for all of us. The place is strategic and the neighbors are great and welcoming. Times gone by and most of my siblings are married so they moved out which left my parents and the youngest one.....me!. I know I should be getting out and living my independent life but I don't mind the distance going to work because I have my own car and I don't have to pay rent...(the witty and frugality thing to do.....smiled wickedly).
There we were just chilling out (way back then), my sister and I...yapping about the good old days ....at my brother's house (by then my brother was already in Australia)....where my parents are staying at present. Reminiscing the time when we were talking about how we wished to have a house so we don't have to move again. When we ultimately found one, it was left empty...how lonely was that!.....my heart goes deeply to that old house which embraced all our memories growing up together; it is a long list to share nonetheless. Part of it was the 'Gold" moment which held venue of my sibling's weddings celebration with full of merriment. After moved out, parents will pay a visit once a week. Then it was once a month when time is not permitted until someone put interest in renting. The fundamental idea was to demolish the house because of flash flood occur during monsoon but nothing seems to come to a final verdict; since everybody are deemed with their own schedule.....(not seriously budgeted for)
With brother's last experienced, renting a house is just exhausted. He had to deal with obstinate tenants just to demand monthly rental fee and eventually he sold the house after 3 times changing tenant and none is paying full.....how tragic!.
The problem with us is that we are so lenient and altruistic; which makes all sort of contract agreement became inadequate.

Now back to this old house which was eagerly rented by this particular tenant with promises utterance. Again my parents are merciful, God bless their amorous heart. I am not sure until when it will end but I just do hope someone will.....talk the talk and walk the walk. I probably could be that someone......which opposed the idea of renting the house at the first place.
