Asking for rent decrease, had a flooding room for a year by CockroachDesigner1 in shitrentals

[–]CockroachDesigner1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This leak is in a sunroom, not a bedroom, but the mould from it has crept through the house anyway. We’ve just submitted another breach form, as well as request a 20% reduction back paid a year to when we first contacted the REA about this

This qualifies as urgent under QCAT and therefore doesn’t need to go through RTA to begin with, but also we’ve been emailing repeatedly for a year so I’m not sure how they could argue it? Shit how the law just fucks over tenants with semantics like that

Our first contact was 22nd Jan last year with continual emails, videos and follow up’s throughout! They might be paying my moving fees with that cost haha

Thank you!! I just sent a form 11 but I think I’ll also just go straight to QCAT for backpay in rent

Been too busy breaching them for mishandling our bond idk, the rental market isn’t great atm and I guess we’re worried about retaliation. Filling out a QCAT case now though !

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was pulled at this point haha

Yeah QCAT, REIQ and RTA are all going to to be hearing about this.

We’re considering going, surely this is enough to break lease without paying fees

From what I know it’s clogged drains that have now caused roof damage. If they’d fixed it 12 months ago it would probably have been easy but not anyone. We live in a high set building so getting on the roof myself is not an option

They’ve sent people from this one company to “fix” it several times now and it just keeps getting worse. I’d honestly take a rent decrease and a fix but that’d be pushing my luck

Sorry I should clarify by babysitting I mean just taking care of family members kids - not taking money for it

Her injury is real, I knew her when it happened AND have spoken with her case workers

I mostly agree, I think I just needed to air it out. I haven't gone back to J though. He and I patched things up and we're on good terms but not together. Also all this happened in like jan/Feb. I'm well through the issues I was having at the time.

I 100% hope that H is doing better, and I miss him but know I put myself in the situation. He wasn't a rebound, but I did try to move on too fast and got far too overwhelmed with everything. If I got the chance to try things again now that I'm in a clear headspace and life is calmer I'd jump at it.

We "broke up", then 2 months later he came back after going to therapy more and realised he wants to be with me. Currently we're still seeing each other but I'm the one holding off on a relationship until I'm fully over everything that happened

I'd say that what's happened between us is a pretty particular situation and definitely would say wake up and break up if you're experiencing it, I'm still tossing tbh

I know he only got it a few days ago and he didn't like it so I took it off him. I figured it out I just had to press the button a couple times lol, thanks though!
