We have a sliding aluminium door between the kitchen and living room - which the tenants has advised our agent to keeps coming off the rails.

Upon inspection and with a tradie. It’s confirmed there’s nothing wrong with it.

Per a tradie - this would only happen if during sliding if they lift up the door or push against it excessively. We have an email from the tradie as well saying this.

We have informed the agent and have said we won’t be replacing it when it’s not faulty. But the agent said that the tenant will be taking us to tribunal because it’s faulty and needs replacing.

Should we just ignore this.

Seeking advice.

Just feeling overwhelmed as I’ve never been this situation.

Background:
Unemployed for 1.5 years, I have managed to find an office job paying 67k. Down from my previous role making 130k.

Asset
2bedroom property - paid off mortgage free

Investment Property
Value: Approx 810k
Mortgage: 570k left

Savings/Emergency Fund
$3k

Income (Monthly)
Take home: $4300
All expense: $4020

Left over: $280/month approx.

My expenses are including just the necessities + $50/week I set aside for feel good stuff like dinner/lunch with friends.

I’m currently putting $300/week into the mortgage.

While I’m able get by ok, I just feel very uneasy especially having just $280/month towards saving.

Should I sell my investment to free up some cash or am I just over-reacting for my situation?

I’m trying to find another role that would pay me more but the job market has been dry lately.
