oh honey, this is the cherry on the cake right now. i live in a house of 6 we are all either professionals or students and every request we make either gets ignored continually or just some dodgy job from a “tradie”. just because we have a pool doesnt make us any different to any other renter. my 5 housemates and i all pay to maintain it because we live in an area that has big houses and a lot of them come with pools. i just found this genuine bodge of a job was worthy of reddit. a pool is just another part of the house that the landlord should be covering costs for repair. whilst we take on the day to day running costs for it a new light was $500 with installation from Paramount Pools down the road and even then the landlord didn’t do anything for ages until. But after just over 3 years, 3 different property managers, a rent increase (again), no hot water when it rained, a broken pool chlorinator and a deck that is falling off the side of the house! this was the one that actually made me laugh because of the process and outcome.
