...Terminating a Tenancy The purpose of this leaflet is explain to landlords and tenants the correct procedure to lawfully end a tenancy. This leaflet is a general guide only and not an interpretation of the law and does not necessarily make reference to all relevant provisions. 1. When is a Tenancy Terminated? A tenancy may be terminated by either the landlord or the tenant for any one of a number of reasons. It could be due to a change of circumstances (e.g. the tenant buys a house, the landlord decides to sell the house) or because of the behaviour of the parties (e.g. the landlord is constantly disturbing the tenant, the tenant is in arrears of rent). No matter what the reason for the termination, the process is always the same. The person ending the tenancy must serve a notice of termination on the other party and that notice must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 in terms of the content of the notice itself and the amount of notice (i.e. what period of time until the dwelling is to be vacated) given. The content of the notice will depend on whether it is served by the landlord or tenant, the length of the tenancy and the reason for the termination. Where a tenancy that was entered into for a specific period (i.e. a fixed term tenancy) comes to the end of that period, a notice of termination does not have to be issued. If that period was 6 months or more and the tenant intends to continue in occupation, he/she must inform the landlord of that...

...One hotly contested and highly competitive industry is the movie rental business. You can rent videos from local video rental stores, you can order pay-per-view from the comfort of your own home, and you can rent videos from the Web at such sites as Netflix. Using Porter's Five Forces Model, evaluate the relative attractiveness of entering the movie rental business. Is buyer power low or high? Buyer power in movie rental business can be considered very high. As mentioned in the question, customers have wide range of choices to rent movies, from local stores to pay-per-view, to Red Box at most of national grocery chains, to online streaming and renting such as Netflix, Hulu, etc… With the technology for Internet TV in many homes today, customers can sit back on their couch and enjoy the convenience of watching any movies on demand at their fingertips, provided by Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or iTunes. Is supplier power low or high? Supplier power is low in movie rental business. Brick-and-mortal movie renting stores such as Blockbuster, Hastings, or local stores are losing their grounds in this battle for customers because they may not have the tremendous amount of copyrights to movies or the capacity of their stores to keep those DVDs. Online, there are more and more competitors joining the business, such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and Apple iTunes. Each of these online competitors has obtained rights to a huge selection of movies, and the advantage of...

...A car rental or car hire agency is a company that rents automobiles for short periods of time (generally ranging from a few hours to a few weeks) for a fee. It is often organized with numerous local branches (which allow a user to return a vehicle to a different location), and primarily located near airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a website allowing online reservations. Car rental agencies primarily serve people who have a car that is temporarily out of reach or out of service, for example travellers who are out of town or owners of damaged or destroyed vehicles who are awaiting repair or insurance compensation. Because of the variety of sizes of their vehicles, car rental agencies may also serve the self-moving industry needs, by renting vans or trucks, and in certain markets other types of vehicles such as motorcycles or scooters may also be offered. Alongside the basic rental of a vehicle, car rental agencies typically also offer extra products such as insurance, global positioning system (GPS) navigation systems, entertainment systems. Although some car rental companies provide self-moving cars which are often trucks and vans to customers with house moving purpose, most car rental companies offer cars such as economy cars, midsize cars, full size cars, standard cars, premium cars, SUV mostly to travelers. From this point, Car rental companies provide transportation for travelers who temporary need cars in the travel destination, so car rental...

...Movie Rental Industry Introduction People born in the early 80’s have the advantage of experiencing the digital age from birth. Today people can go online to Netflix, Blockbuster, or VUDU and rent a movie to stream immediately to their flatscreen HDTV or computer monitor. This is a far contrast from mom and pop VHS video rental stores that emerged in the late seventies and early eighties. The immediate download of videos without having to drive to a brick and mortar building to return the video without incurring late fees is a thing of the past. In 1977 George Atkinson opened the first video rental store in Los Angeles offering videos for rent at $10 a day with a $50 or $100 membership to raise capital[1]. Since that first home theater store George opened, there have been a plethora of mom and pop video rental stores that sprouted up. As video renting became more popular due to the availability of the VHS recorder and the DVD player, larger movie rental chains entered the market with better buying power and lower prices. These larger chains were able to offer rental movies at lower prices with a larger selection[2]. The technology revolution has changed the landscape of video renting. Using Porter’s Five Forces model, entrance into the video rental business will be examined. Technologies used to stream movies, download full length movies, renting movies from store front, and renting from kiosks are the available avenues for the budding entrepreneur. With new...

...CRU Computer Rentals (Operational Management Assignment) Executive Summary CRU is one of the two national computer rental companies. They purchase CPU, monitor, printer and other peripherals and rent them out for long term leases and short term rentals. The case covers the problem faced by the company in 1997 when the rental market started to decline and the efforts by the company to bring up the sales plunged the company to losses. Problem Statement In 1996, they had a revenue of 15 million$ and the average number of units that were on rent was at 1000 units per week. But at the beginning of 1997, the rental market began to decline and the demand fell down to 600units per week at CRU. This was a matter of grave concern to CRU and they desperately thought of ways to bring up the utilization rate. To get around the issue, they started offering some customer incentives and also started offering bonus payments to the sales staff for new demand generated. As a result of this, the sales went up to 1400 per week with 600 of them going for 8 weeks and the remaining for 4 weeks. The average time per buffer was kept the same as that of 1996. As a result of this effort, the revenues and utilization rates went up. But contrary to the expectations of the CEO who considered utilization rate as a good figure of performance of the company, the net profit went negative. The problems here are as listed below. 1) What went wrong with the decision to launch the sales drive? What...

...Rental car industry is a multibillion industry which needs proper management for it to bear good returns. Unlike other service industries, the car rental service is highly consolidated which gives new players into the business a cost disadvantage incurred from the high input cost and low economies of scale at the same time. This industry has become more competitive and a big chunk of the competition comes from two main sources within the market chain, these are leisure and corporate segments. The major players in the market have established networks of collaboration and deals with majority of the leisure segments and corporate leaving only a smaller percentage for other smaller car rental companies. But that does not rule out the possibility of competition among the major players (Jim Suhr, 2004). Developing of a proper working culture is a step towards revival of the car rental company. The company should strive towards training of their workers on how customers should be handled in order to achieve the satisfaction they deserve. The workers should also have a culture of team work, which will help them to cover any loop holes of service delivery thus maximizing their efforts towards having excellent services to the customers (Singh, 2002). In addition the company must ensure customer satisfaction through, putting the customers first. For instance, whenever a customer calls for an assistance in case of mechanical failure, the company should have...

...The U.S. car rental industry is believed to have began back in 1916, when a Nebraska man by the name of Joe Saunders decided to lend out his Ford Model T to local and visiting businessmen. This savvy entrepreneur affixed a mileage meter to the left front wheel of the vehicle and would charge renters a total of 10 cents a mile in order to cover the wear and tear on his beloved Ford. It didn't take long for Saunders to realize he'd stumbled onto a lucrative business idea. By 1925, Saunders' independent car rental company had grow to include operations In 21 states. Saunders also began to diversify his vehicle offering at this point – old Chrysler ads from the 1920's boast that Saunders' fleet included nearly $1 million worth of Chrysler vehicles. The Battle Begins Competitors quickly caught onto Saunders' unique rent-a-car model, and it wasn't long before Walter L. Jacobs started renting out a dozen or so Model T Fords of his own. By 1923, Jacobs' business was grossing more than $1 million in annual sales, making him Saunders' main competitor. Both Saunders and Jacobs built their independent car rental businesses from humble beginnings, but only one would come out on top. In the mid 1920s, Jacobs made the acquaintance of Mr. John Hertz, owner of The Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company in Chicago. Hertz eventually bought Jacobs' car rental company, giving birth to what is now one of the largest chain car rental companies in the nation. Later, General Motors would buy out the...

...The Rental Heart is a short story written by Kirsty Logan. In this science fiction story we follow the main characters use of rental hearts. You can rent hearts as many times as you want to, and you can put them in your chest, so whenever you get your heart broken, you can just go to the rental store and rent a new one, and that’s what this story is about. The Rental Heart isn’t written chronologic, so it leaps in time. In this story the narrator also uses flashbacks: “Jacob was as solid and golden as tilled field, and our love was going to last forever, which in our age meant six months. Every time Jacob touched me, I felt my heart thud wetly against my lungs”. In the beginning we hear about the main character telling us, that is was the day after he met Grace he went to the rental store, where he hasn’t been for over ten years. When we hear what he thinks of Grace and the rental hearts, we get a feeling of a problem. We don’t know how many years the story courses, but we’ll assume that it’s from the main character is a teenager, to he is an adult person, because he tells us that his first love was meant to last forever and at their age it meant six months. We can tell that the story takes place in future, because you can rent hearts. The main character can be both a man and a woman, because the person is attracted both sexes, and therefor is bisexual. The story is written in first person narrator, and we hear the story from the main characters point of...
