Hi Paul, where in Australia in the property located?
Customer:
Generally speaking the agent must follow your instructions.. as they are acting as your agent.
Customer:
If there is doubt (for any reason), you need to place your instructions to the agent in writing (email is sufficient), and state for the record that you require the agent to confirm the proposed terms of the new lease with you, and obtain your consent before proceeding...
Customer:
Kind regards, James.
