Lease

[Dot]

If you had a lease ok'd by a "verbal" agreement and awaiting the "written" agreement would you begin trading??

[BruceS]

Nope! I wouldn't even open the door.
But then again .... possession is 9 tenths of the law as they say.
Once in there let them try and get you out!!
Who are you waiting to 'written' the lease agreement?

[dream4red]

No way, written approval to rent must be given before any trading can happen. Demand a lease asap. xxxx

[Dot]

More phone calls in order then, apparently it had to go to some ministers office for the final seal of approval Oh so there is the problem!!! official red tape

[dream4red]

Insurance will not cover you if there is no written lease. All bases have to covered and the dots and T's crossed, for that one in a million event that should never happen and will probably never happen, but.......
It aint worth the risks. xxxx

[Dot]

Well G was back to the buildings owners today x 2 and the lease is somewhere in some government departments in tray, try again tomorrow.

[dream4red]

Bugga, has it been located yet?

[Dot]

Rang the CEO again, she said IT is still somewhere in higher offices. Rang Consumer and they put us on to the small business commission still waiting for them to return phone call Now this is our government at work

[BruceS]

Walk away from it?
Why do you want to do it anyway? Life's too short for crap like that Dot!!

[Dot]

Gone too far down the track now Bruce and it is G's name at stake to chuck it at this late stage. He isn't going to let the doors open till we are 100% legal etc. Always the red tape and knockers that are the hardest to cope with but we reckon after it gets going it should do ok as it once did many yrs ago. Plus the couple that are the trouble makers are pretty soon to fall off the perch things should get better. Either way we are heading off as planned this year and leaving them to it.
