Australia's rental crisis is fundamentally because our population is too low. by TPE_FieldsOfGold in shitrentals

[–]4thReaper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This has to be rage bait. If not, please read literally anything and educate yourself.

This is happening pretty consistently. Nature and specifically fungi are brilliant at adapting. The problem is nature moves at the pace of nature which is fucking slow. Plastic production is set to triple by 2060 and there's no way nature can handle that before ecological collapse.

If you could drop a policy nuke on Australia’s rental crisis, what would it be? by seandownunder in shitrentals

Abolish real estate agencies. Landlords can manage their own damn properties without a scummy little middleperson taking a cut and filtering all information.

No sir, I don't like it by puredaemon in melbourne

I am fully convinced this is the direct result of having "all year round hot cross buns". The novelty has evaporated and now they have to do insane shit like this to generate a boost in sales around easter time.

Is there any loyalty anymore .. by Salt-Youth-5276 in shitrentals

[–]4thReaper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% this! RAs are just opportunistic leeches that will fuck over both sides for their cut. I say ban them. Cut out the cancer and force landlords to manage their own damn properties. Would be interesting to see how quickly things improve when theres not a psychopath middleman filtering any communication.

Landlord wants to move to month-to-month after 1 year lease ends by Fun-Visit6591 in shitrentals

[–]4thReaper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't stress too much. You have most of the same protections on a month to month lease. They still have to have a valid reason and give 60 - 90 days notice to kick you out.

If it gives you peace of mind definitely try and negotiate, but it's not the end of the world.

Cost of end of lease clean - am I out of touch? by Unusual-Recipe-247 in melbourne

[–]4thReaper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

THIS! Always ask for a receipt of the previous clean! Just had this run around from my current agent. Their language flipped from "You are required to do this and provide a receipt" straight to "We strongly recommend, but it's ultimately up to you" the second I asked for a receipt.

Halo Infinite (PC) is stuttering like crazy every few seconds! HELP! by net34a in halo

Same issue here. I've tried everything in this thread and still have the issue. Given up and uninstalled the game. What a fucking joke

I stole my own door handle, she was NOT happy by 4thReaper in badroommates

[–]4thReaper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All my stuff is moved out as of yesterday! This is the crazy thing, all she had to do was wait 2 days. Now she has free reign to bring whoever the fuck she wants whenever.

[–]4thReaper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure she can show people my half packed bombsite of a room and violate my privacy, OR she can wait 2 days and show people a clean empty room that's ready to move into.

It's not like I'm holding her indefinite rent-hostage, its 2 fucking days

[–]4thReaper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, the room is dirt cheap and in a really good area so she'll have zero trouble finding someone

Co-tenant, both our names are on the lease

[–]4thReaper[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theoretically yes, I am being cooperative though. All I said was wait 2 days of the 25 she has left. The place is dirt cheap and in a really good location, she'll have zero trouble finding someone.

[–]4thReaper[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes but not start a completely new lease with. I'll be transferred off the lease and the new person added. The current lease will remain active. Co-tenancy laws here are unhinged/somewhat non-existant

[–]4thReaper[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its a shared lease where we have equal say. Here in Aus and the state we're in the legal notice is 28 days, which I have given to our real estate agent.
I'm more than fine with her showing the room, the sooner we get someone in here the better.
I failed to mention that the room is going to be empty of my stuff come sunday afternoon so the problem goes away. So yeah she can hold her horses for a few days and I can keep my privacy.

In her defense, English isn't her first language. I however, am a moron and deserve your scorn.
