    I'm most concerned at your attitude towards YOUR tenants!

    Yeah I agree. If I was your tenant you would have a problem.

    SSS if you don't check these kind of things when you buy a property it is partly your fault as well as checking other things as well eg COC electrical, COC electric fence, rates up to date, water acc up to date etc etc.

    Oh well SSS you seem to have all the answers, so good luck.
    Just by the way - yes COC for eg is for the seller to provide - but it is for you to ensure you get it.

    Good luck.

    You'll most likely need a good attorney, the way you are blundering into things.

    Without having done your homework properly, you're now intending to take it out on your poor tenants. You should be ashamed of yourself!

    Good Luck SSS100. You will need it. If your tenants (they are yours now) know their rights they will take you to the cleaners. Using any direct or indirect form of force will put you deeper into the mess. If that happens it will get ugly, long drawn out and expensive and you will lose by default.
    Its certainly not the tenants fault that you, the agent and the seller were fast asleep.
