Renter’s rights in Australia is way behind, it needs to get up to speed soon because no one can afford houses.
I’ll never again put up with rental agents walking through my home every quarter taking photos
I thought the problem was avocado toast.
Given up saving up for a house, now saving up for a avo toast mayyttee
Straight up, hiding issues with a rental property should be punishable by barring the landlord from owning any property. Y’know, so long as we’re not abolishing property ownership, seems fair.
That mold is load-bearing.
Same in my neck of the woods.
My sister’s apartment has a patch in the ceiling that’s literally cardboard boxes from the local hardware store. And literally holes that were cut in the walls for repairs of wires and pipes that were never covered after they were done. And best of all: her bathroom has never had a door on it. The previous tenant (allegedly) tore it off and the landlord has been saying that they’ll replace it at the first of the month for 3 years now.
I looked at one apartment years ago where a dog (hopefully it was a dog) had eaten a one-square-foot chunk out of the corner of the bedroom door. The previous tenants had repaired it by nailing a pizza box over the missing corner. The pizza box still had cheese on it. Somehow this seemed worse to me than the two big mounds of dog shit in the kitchen.
The landlord was a wheelchair-bound woman who hadn’t been upstairs to look at the apartment since the previous tenants had left. When I told her what was up there, she said if I took the place she would knock off $200 … from the security deposit.
…did you sign the lease?
Heck no … there was no place in the kitchen for me to shit.
Nah, it’s white or beige or some shit
It’s gloss white on the wood and flat white on the walls, but it comes out cream colored from all the layers of cigarette smoke it’s covering.
I bought a house that had been occupied by smokers. One day I painted one of the bedrooms and everything seemed fine and I went home. When I came back the next morning, the top two feet of paint on the walls had flowed down off the walls and onto the floor. Not something I’ve ever seen happen before. Fortunately I was able to scrub the top with mineral spirits and get the next coat of paint to stick.
Imagine the crap in their lungs.
some shit
I think I prefer the mold instead…
Come on, you gotta at least use some primer first. Kilz that shit so you seal in all the mold. Then it’s forced to become structural, and in a few years you can use your well trained mold to grow extensions to your units!
Pretty sure that’s how they made the backrooms.
Australia must be a miserable place to live in 🤮🤮🤮
Mate its getting there
Funny, y’all been recruiting Americans there for air traffic controller jobs. A few buddies of mine ended up there. How do you feel about Americans getting well paying jobs and getting paid to relocate to Australia?
Something like a third of the population was born in a different country. It’s normal.
That’s how lots of Australians come here. My best friend is originally from Michigan, he came here in high school, and recently gave up his US citizenship because we can all see what’s going to happen.
Normal. Australia is just people from all over the world.
There’s some weirdos that think it isn’t, but they’re not welcome.
Wish a solid 40% of Americans would wake up to that same truth.
Funny, America laid off all its air traffic controllers and has had to close airports due to the lack.
Good on em, we’re very multicultural so its normal
What a shithole. Still 100% better than eurotrash
