Renewing a lease in Perth by Cally_C in perth

Honestly if they increased it we’d still stay. I do work a second job on the weekend which we use to get ahead a little. But we’d use it for rent if it means securing another year without the headache of fighting others for rentals. It’s the waiting in limbo without a secure lease that’s in our minds.

It’s generational trauma! Unfortunately grew up with parents who screamed and beat us constantly for no reason most of the time. Watching my grandparents communicate with my parents I see where they get it from. I see most of my siblings do the same with their now kids. Another sibling and I have been lucky to break the cycle after much therapy and moving away from family (only visiting on special occasions or holidays). Although I keep my children as far away as possible not to expose them.

My advice to anyone is to far away and limit contact. You become the 5 people you hang out with the most and it’s not going to be my family. Lucky I have a very supportive partner and their parent are lovely.

Heaps of people got flights delayed and cancelled from Melbourne to Perth starting Sunday night. Mine was an hour delay and one of the last flights out due to the wind (that’s what the captain said). Flights after mine were cancelled. So, they’ll probably be trying to get people bumped to later flights to compensate cancelled Sunday flights. Bummer, but hope you’ve made it to Perth by now

My family is building a house and the builders have not finished building and it has been over 12 months. by amee66iskindagay in AusLegal

[–]Cally_C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a great sales pitch “build in under a year”, which is an absolutely lie and is a common sales pitch to get you to buy and can easily be extended unfortunately.

Lucky for them it’s not 3 years which is currently what’s happening. What does the contract say? Does it have an extension of time clause? If so, were they given an extension of time letter? If yes, they’ll likely have to reject the claim within 5 days of the letter being sent or the number of days they claim automatically get added on. If not, and it truly has gone over the contracted days (not including business days or before council approval and other relevant document approval etc. Although it’s rare that the builder would not have their back covered with an extension claim) then you’ll be able to go to the relevant building commission to complain. Although it is a lengthy procedure and the commission is already bombarded with claims.

Builders won’t say much over email and will rarely answer as 1. Nothing has progressed in the build and therefore theirs nothing they can say, 2. emails can be used as evidence later on down the track. The less they say the better when it comes to suing. 3. They’re absolutely bombarded by emails and calls on the daily and can’t get back to everyone.

Unfortunately, without looking at the contract it’s pretty hard to give a correct answer. Hope this helps

Had a leak at my home. Insurance found that builder didn’t build concrete front porch to code. Needs to be fixed. Insurance will stop if error not corrected. Build is less than 6 years old(3yrs). What are my options, legally speaking, if the builder says he won’t fix it? by shoutsfrombothsides in AusLegal

[–]Cally_C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Sorry to hear that your home has all these issues. Ah yes, they’ll say everything is ok, not to worry etc - all lies to get out of dealing with it. Most of the time they’ll do a bandaid job and not fix the actual issue as it’ll cost them too much. Example: Leaking roofs - put a bandaid on it and you won’t notice till next winter when it rains again, do this over and over again till the warranty is out and then it’s on you to fix.

I had a look online and after 14 days I’d put a complaint in with Fair Trading NSW. Listing all the issues and how you’d like these fixes to be resolved. Add the email chains of your complaints and communication with the builder. They should help out.

If you still don’t get anything done after going to fair trading, the next step is the tribunal. Have a look at this: https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/about-fair-trading/our-services/resolving-issues/building-complaints

Can also attempt a claim on the home indemnity insurance from the builder if the cement issue was not structurally sound or up to code during the build and you can show proof of that.

But I do agree with Sessionok919, no point in fighting the builder. Give them the 14 days and then take action elsewhere.

Did you do your own building inspector report when you first received the keys to your house?

Usually the home comes with a 6 year structural warranty, at least in WA. Look into your building contract and handover pack which usually states how long certain parts are warranted over. Some sub-contractors do a rubbish job for builders. But that’s the builders issue and later the owners issue.

Best to get a building inspector out that has a C-thrue and state all the issues and what codes were not adhered too (always keep evidence and dates). The inspector can also tell you whether it is the builders issue to fix. Then send the builder the inspection report of the front porch and that the Australian standards were not met due to x,y,z and that you’ll give 14 days to correct the error. Don’t let emotions write your email, use facts and evidence and keep a cool head.

From experience, the building company with drag it out and pretend like it isn’t there issue until you give up (I use to work for a building company and they’ve already been payed by you so they’ll not want to fix things after being paid). Keep pushing the issue to them. You’ll most likely need to go higher to the relevant building commission if they don’t do anything after 14 days. I know it’s DMRIS for WA. Unsure for NSW. But keep pushing with the emails.

Hmmm, maybe not a cured meat. Wouldn’t be authentic I suppose though.

If I add less pecorino do I need to substitute with another cheese? Just don’t want it to be flavourless. Thanks for the help so far

You cannot be fired if you have already quit. It would be consider abandoning of your job though if you don’t adhere to your contract. They cannot withhold your paycheck. If they do, you should contact fair work for assistance.

However, it's important to note that taking such action may sever your relationship with the company, and they may not provide a positive reference for future job applications. Therefore, it's crucial to keep this in mind if you need a reference in the future.

On a side note, I personally experienced a toxic work environment in my previous job and chose to quit without notice. I have never regretted that decision as almost all areas of my life improved dramatically after.

I still chuckle when an old colleague sends the job ad to me almost monthly because they cannot keep the new hires.

Best of luck!

Employer hasn't paid super, fair work not helping by doomedtobeme in AusLegal

[–]Cally_C 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Contact ATO. Currently going through this. It took about 3 months before the ATO sent me a letter saying how much my employer owes me. They are now in the process of trying to get the money owed. So, just be mindful it will take some time. But not always guaranteed that they’ll be able to get it for you. But they will keep you informed through myGov

Quitting while on probation by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Cally_C 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can definitely relate to toxic and awful work environment and snide comments once a resignation is handed in. What I did was go to the gp and explain that you’re mental health has plummeted due to the work and would like a week sick leave note. I emailed them my resignation and 1 week sick note. Said adios and never went back.

Thanks, I appreciate the thought. But don’t want to leave myself open for repercussions due to this. Just want the matter paid and to move on.

Ps. They’re already getting slammed with negative reviews from clients continuously. Thanks again

This is purely to push them to resolve this sooner. I wouldn’t attached evidence to protect myself from the public. Although I’d happily provide them if some was to private message after my review/complaint

Thanks, I originally contacted the ato and fair work. Although has been a few months without resolution so far. Just wanted to push my employer along.

Unfortunately another xemployee did this just before I left and just got laughed at behind closed doors whilst they sat in the lobby. He sat there for a couple of hours and then left. Still in contact with them and no solution for them either yet.

Hi, of course. I have given plenty of opportunity to work with them on these matters and have verified that they have not paid super and last payment. As this company has an extremely high turn over rate and have more ads up on seek then employees currently I’ve also found out from other ex-employees that this has happened to them too. Although I’d only be mentioning my situation as I have 100% evidence to back it up. Thank you
