What cheeses me off

I'm drenched. Now the rain deluge has changed to a drizzle.

No doubt the rest of your neighbourhood thanks you for your sacrifice

Thankfully I am at the top of the hill.

I have been in real estate since 1989 and I have been renting here in Brisbane since 2008.

Today I got a call from new real estate agent. We moved in 2 days ago and my rent is $600/week. I have already paid $1200 in advance and as I got paid this fortnight I paid another $970.

Why did you make a part payment? It's not encouraged!

Why? I had extra money left over and decided to pay extra. I seriously do not see an issue.

Anyway she gave up. This is a silly request. Just receipt what I paid in the tenant Ledger and who cares whether I have part paid in advance or not. Now I need to make sure I only pay in $600 increments. I like to be 3 weeks in front and when I get paid I'm still 1 week in front so I do not fall behind.

It makes more work for them to keep track of payments. But I do the same to my body corporate to avoid bill shock. Works for me.

I've not seen the software but surely they enter Customer Id, amount and it calculates paid to date + part payment then they send PDF receipt?

It's OK but I've now realised they like to keep their job simple and to be honest I'm really happy with them otherwise we'd still be looking for an apartment.
