REAL ESTATE UPDATE FEBRUARY 2024

A: Under a fixed term agreement, the length of the lease is binding. If a tenant makes the decision to vacate prior to the lease end date, they have absconded from the tenancy (commonly referred to as “breaking the lease”). When a tenant breaks the lease, they are held responsible for costs that would be incurred by the landlord or agent in finding a new tenant. These costs include a portion of the reletting fees, pro-rata advertising costs and compensation to the owner for rent until the property is re-let. Formulas set out by SACAT are used to determine the portion of re-letting and advertising owed to the owner.

Can my tenant leave before their lease end date? As a landlord, you are not obligated to start advertising the property until the keys have been returned and you have vacant possession. However, you are obligated to mitigate the tenants’ losses, meaning that you are required to lease the property as soon as practicable. You may have to take further steps, such as reducing the rent, to secure a new tenancy. In such events, you can claim compensation in loss of reduced rent for the remaining lease term.

Introducing the Color of the Year 2024 The Pantone Color Institute, the global authority on color, first established the Pantone Color of the Year in 1999 to foster a dialogue on the intersection of culture and color. Celebrating its 25th year in 2024, the program has evolved into a cultural touchstone, influencing design, product development, and purchasing decisions worldwide. The Pantone Color Institute team, comprised of color experts with diverse backgrounds, engages in a continuous, yearround conversation to select the Color of the Year. Drawing inspiration from global influences including art, fashion, technology, and socio-economic conditions, the process is rooted in thoughtful consideration and trend analysis. The Pantone colour of the year for 2024 is Peach Fuzz, a light, delicate shade that sits between pink and orange. This soft, heartfelt hue expresses the desire to nurture kindness, compassion, and connection as we seek a peaceful future. The choice of this color for 2024 reflects a collective yearning for empathy and the joy of being close to loved ones. As we re-evaluate priorities and express ourselves with intentionality, Peach Fuzz embodies a message of warmth, comfort, and a renewed sense of community, offering a gentle lightness that lifts us into the future. Look out for splashes of the colour in this issue of Northern Living magazine, and embrace the warmth in 2024.

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS Cat management A state-wide ban on cats cannot come soon enough. Wandering cats in the northern suburbs are a huge problem. They dig in my garden to use as a toilet, their toilet smell is so bad I cannot open my back door, they torment the dogs in the district causing them to bark, they roam at night and kill wildlife. Cat owners should be ordered to keep their cats on their own properties (just as dog owned must do). David Steenkof Keep the footpaths safe No registration, no identification, no insurance, speeds of up to 25km/h, no mandatory use of warning devices, no firm implementation of regulations. Pedestrians, dog walkers, children, the deaf, blind and disabled cannot be assured of safe passage on footpaths any longer when silent e-scooters and bicycles share the footpaths. Footpaths are for feet. Wheeled vehicles should be out of bounds. Amanda Ciesski, pedestrian Snake alert It’s snake season so be alert as you walk along bush tracks, particularly if you have a dog. Snakes live in watery environments such as creeks, rivers, swamps. Snakes do not go out of their way to attack you but if they are threatened, (eg cornered by your dog) they will fight back. If the snake is on council land contact the council. If is on your land contact a snake catcher.

Smelly Lake I sail a model yacht on Mawson Lakes and the odour is awful and the water is filthy. My boat often ends up with an oily black ring around its edge. We see huge carp jumping out of the muddy water. The lake needs a good clean. Allan, Salisbury Plain Rental returns I agree with M Henschke (No Rent Freeze Issue 185). People who do not own investments properties seem to think that rentals provide a goldmine to owners. They don’t. By the time the owner pays council rates, state land tax, emergency services levy, duty on the purchase plus water rates, the monthly income shrinks. The federal government takes income tax on rents received, then there are maintenance costs, insurance costs and agent’s fees. If a tenant leaves, there is a period without rent while the property is re-advertised and re-let and more agent’s fees. If a landlord does not own the property outright, the mortgage has to be paid and if the owner decides to sell, the capital gains tax kicks in. The articles from Melissa from Harcourt’s are informative and I read them every month so perhaps she would comment on my assessment. Arron Brownwell, Salisbury

A local love story My mum, Brenda Wilson, turned 80 in December and she and our Dad, Vivian, celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary in the same week. They purchased land in Parafield Gardens in 1962 and have lived in the same street ever since. A lot has changed in the area since then. Salisbury Highway had one lane in each direction, there were very few houses, and they could see cows grazing in the distance from their back door! About 25 years ago they looked at upgrading, but could think of no where else they would rather live, so they built their new home right next door to the original house. Mum still plays badminton and goes line dancing every week. She regularly walks their dog around Mawson Lakes and always picks up a copy of Northern Living from the Mawson Centre or Square Cafe at Mawson Central. They are a true local love story. Happy Valentine’s Day Mum and Dad! Dianna Wilson www.northernliving.info

Welcome to Savvy Estates, a dedicated team of experienced female professionals specialising in real estate services in the thriving Northern Suburbs of Adelaide. Our focus encompasses Sales and Property Management, and we take pride in ensuring a great experience for all our clients, be they vendors, buyers, or tenants. Our Expertise: With an in-depth understanding of the real estate landscape in the City of Salisbury, Playford, and Lower Light, we have witnessed and actively participated in the unparalleled growth and national interest these areas have garnered. This growth holds promise for the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide in the long term, making it an opportune time to engage in real estate transactions. Current Market Dynamics: The housing market in the region is currently tightly held, resulting in a limited inventory of properties for sale. This scarcity has led to a shortage of affordable rental properties, impacting both prospective tenants and first-time home buyers. Despite interest rate increases, Adelaide maintains comparative affordability, sustaining house prices. The low supply and heightened demand have ensured that house prices remain stable. 6 northern

Rent prices have increased by 10% in the past 12 months, putting pressure on tenants and landlords. Mortgage holders have received 13 rate increases in the past year. Inflation has fallen for the first time in 2 years to 4.3%. This downward trend will result in lower interest rates, hopefully in mid to end 2024. Adelaide average rents Rent per week

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING at WORK The global surge in electric vehicle sales has prompted a team of researchers at the Mawson Lakes campus of the University of South Australia to explore how the university could provide free or small-fee charging facilities for electric vehicles to staff and students. Currently, the Mawson Lakes campus has rooftop solar panels on 18 buildings. These are supplemented by ground-mounted solar panels. Researchers argue that by doubling the existing solar power system on campus, free charging could be available to approximately 200 electric vehicles. By charging a fee, the campus could potentially support 800 electric vehicles, the maximum number of parking spaces at Mawson Lakes.

Issue 186, February 2024

At 25 per cent EV penetration, the UniSA Mawson Lakes campus could reduce its annual electricity costs by more than 9 per cent. By upgrading its existing solar photovoltaic system to optimum capacity, it could provide free electronic vehicle charging during the day. If cars are charging during the day when people are at work it reduces the demand on the power grid during the evening when solar generation dwindles and demand increases.

Australia intends to increase the use of electric vehicles to around 25% by 2030 and more than 80% by 2050. The ACT has officially announced its intention to ban the sale of new fossil fuel-based cars by 2035.

DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE X-RAYS? It’s a good question and one often asked of my clients who are understandably concerned about not being unnecessarily exposed to x-rays (and the bill that comes with them). Most x-rays at the dentist are screening x-rays of your back teeth only, performed every 2-3 years, usually one x-ray on each side. These are called ‘bite-wing’ x-rays and their purpose is to screen for cavities that cant be otherwise be seen by looking such as between the teeth or underneath old fillings.

Increasingly the dental profession is incorporating a 3-D x-ray technology called Cone-Beam scans that provide useful information and improve treatment outcomes for many dental procedures. These have a larger dose of radiation (about 150 uSV). Cone Beam scans should not be done routinely but only when justified by a particular treatment outcome and only by trained staff. As a part of our continued adoption of new technology, Dental on Metro have a state of the art Cone Beam facility on-site as of 2023, which will allow us to provide further, safer and better services to our clients including implant planning and wisdom teeth removal. Your first check and clean with us is gap free with any dental extras.

X-rays are generally done when the benefit outweighs the risk. Luckily bite-wing x-rays are very low in radiation exposure. A single dental x-ray is about 4 micro Sieverts (uSV) – similar to typical background radiation in one day. To put this in perspective, a Chest CT scan is about 1000 uSV.

FILM REVIEW BY LINDA VINING People know the invaluable role that seeing eye dogs perform for the blind, but do you know where these dogs come from and how they are trained? PICK OF THE LITTER follows a litter of five labrador puppies from the moment they are born and begin their quest to become Guide Dogs for the Blind, the ultimate canine career. There are 2 black and 3 golden puppies with the names Patriot, Potomac, Phil, Primrose and Poppet. We get an up close look at how guide dogs are trained and selected as we follow these loveable pups through a two-year process. Along the way, the dogs meet many demands and are aided by dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing, life-changing things in the service of human beings. It is very emotional when a dog gets paired with its official owner. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the grade. It takes a very special dog with intelligence and personality to be a guide dog. Only the best of the best. It is typical for only one dog in a litter to meet the rigorous standards required. Herein lies the drama of the film. Who will be cut from the program? Which dog will you barrack for? What happens to the dogs who do not make it? PICK OF THE LITTER is a beautiful, educational, inspiring film with plenty of sweet moments. The film is an easy watch at one hour and 20 minutes. A winner for the whole family. Watch it on ABC iview.

BOOK REVIEW by Linda Vining

The Talented Mrs Greenway by Tea Cooper

Francis Greenway was a promising architect, but after an accusation of forgery he was convicted and transported as a convict to the Colony of New South Wales in Terra Australis in 1812. This book is based on a true story about the very beginning, planning and construction of the city now know as Sydney and the rise of Greenway to become the Colonial Architect in 1816. Many of his brilliant buildings still stand today. Greenway's wife, Mary Greenway, was devastated when her husband was sentenced as a convict, so in 1814 she left England and travelled as a free settler on another convict ship to join him. Mary was full of nervous anticipation about living in the new Colony but she could see Sydney Town had potential and her creative husband had a part to play. By chance Mary met Elizabeth Macquarie, wife of Lachlan Macquarie the Governor of New South Wales, but because Francis Greenway was a convict and Mrs Macquarie was the wife of the highest official they had to be careful about the secrets and hopes they shared and their association. Mary was a clever woman, a wife, mother of 7 children and an artist, but most of all she had courage, and she seized opportunities in a diplomatic way to advance her family’s good fortune. Using real facts and fiction the author has written a sparkling novel about fascinating historical times and the people who helped shape Australia.This book, published in 2023, gives a rich insight into the hardships in the early days of English settlement in Australia and days living amid the difficult politics of a convict settlement. It would make an excellent gift for Valentine’s Day. www.northernliving.info

The whole family can come along without worrying about breaking the budget - all of the rides, entertainments and sideshows are free. Attendees are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic drinks to keep costs low – but if not there will be plenty of local food options available, from classic carnival fare and baked

potatoes to mouth-watering dumplings, sizzling yiros, fresh seafood, aromatic Indian cuisine, heavenly ice cream, fluffy fairy floss, irresistible doughballs, and the perfect cup of coffee. Brace yourselves for an adventure-packed line-up that includes the gravity-defying Sizzler ride, the classic Ferris wheel, spinning teacups, dodgem cars, totem tennis, mesmerising fire twirlers, and captivating roving performers. There will also be live shows, jumping castles, and an adults' silent disco (plus a sensoryfriendly one for the little ones) to keep Carnival goers of all ages entertained. Mark your calendars for February 23rd to 24th and make your way to Carisbrooke Park. This is your golden ticket to a weekend that promises nonstop thrills, laughter, and culinary delights.
