Residential parking laws?

My bf and I have just been accepted for a rental that was advertised with a parking space. When I inspected the house the agent told me that we have a parking space on the street, which I was fine with (despite it not being my car that is to be parked there).

Any estimates on how much fees vs. growth would have affected the principle since 2011? If I don’t retire in Australia, would I be able to access it from overseas? Should I just not bother gaining super account access? submitted by /u/lamarcus [link] [comments]
