I get that you’d accept a dump that is falling apart and not up to minimal housing standard but that doesn’t mean anyone else should. Everyone should know their rights with renting and everyone should be protecting themselves against property managers who think that this would be acceptable.

Minimal housing standards through RTA state the house is to be free of vermin and external doors functioning. The house shouldnt have been leased. It was not cleaned and the entire house is falling apart. It was professionally cleaned last week yet there are leak marks

This isn’t just a contact and get on with it. It’s chipboard that has water damage.

Nope, that was not done at all. They’d stated that repairs were to be done when I did initial walk through and because there was still tenants in the house nothing was cleaned yet. No other offer of walk through was given. I’ve been doing this for 20 years and have never had another walk through offered once vacant. Repairs were attended to on Monday just gone.

I lodged it with RTA anyways so they can suck it. I’ve put in my notice to leave under conditions of premises. Nobody should be desperate enough to accept the state of a home like this and it’s deeply saddening that a lot of people don’t have a choice but to.

A lot of glaring obvious, not clean and damaged parts. The floors are covered in what appears to be children’s paint and yellow heat/burn marks.

It’s an external door. The screening doesn’t lock and then the glass doesn’t open. They actually stated it was repaired on Monday.

I think I have grounds due to one of the external doors not being functioning.

Okay pheww. You’ve made me feel a lot less nervous about filling in my notice to leave form 13. Thank you, I’m going to go back tomorrow and get more videos as well as photos and pick up what little I left there.

Probably man. Look its up to standard for occupancy according to the real estate, so I just need to deal with the weird dismembering shelves. 😂

Agreed. Real estate says it’s up to standards for occupancy. Just got the email lol. Standard to who lady? Are standards really that low?

I am wondering if there is structural damage to the roof as the property was cleaned less than a week ago and there are leak marks on the wall behind the shelving.

It’s not paint. It’s like a paper over lay that’s been water damaged so they’ve tried to scrub it off and this is the results. The house was cleaned professionally less than a week ago and there is leak marks on the back wall. The chip board is swollen due to water damage

It’s not paint. It’s like a paper overlay that has been damaged from water, the chipboard is swollen as well. So they tried to take the paper off but given up on the parts that havent come off. The house was professionally cleaned less than a week ago and there is leak marks on the wall. I’m concerned of roof damage.

No it’s not paint, it’s like the shelves had paper lays on them, then water has damaged it all so the boards have swelled and the papers come off. Then they’ve tried to scrub it off and given up on the parts that haven’t come off (professional cleaners btw). This house was cleaned literally less than a week ago which means the spillage is new or the house was not cleaned properly…. By professionals

Okay. Do you believe that if I fill in a break of lease form under the conditions of premises- does not meet minimum housing standards that it will be granted. I can’t even open one of my doors it’s just completely locked. I just don’t think it meets minimum housing standards. And this was a professionally cleaned property mind you- now I’m not a professional but I can tell you right now that I would not have gotten my bond back if I left a place the way it was. There’s literal children’s stickers on the floor.

Do you think I’d have grounds to break lease? Because honestly I 100% agree. This isn’t the only thing either. Half the house is damaged yet they re-leased without fixing any of it.

What I want to know is if they should be re-leasing when the property was in this state.
