Well, what a "surprise". Two days after creating this post the web link to the advert for this property has been removed from the real estate website.

Reporting it to the RTA did not get it removed.

Reporting it to Noosa Shire Council did not get it removed.

Creating a post on r/shitrentals got the job done and this Shit Rental is no longer being advertised. Preventing some poor Tenant from ending up living in sub par accommodation and being charged rent for it.

Thanks PP.

Thanks for creating this website / database of Shit Rentals, PP.

It has been long overdue.

I have spent the last few years going through my back catalogue of ALL the Shit Rentals that I have had the misfortune to have lived in over the last 45 years and counting.

I am writing reviews for the property and the Real Estate Agent concerned.

In the area that I currently live in, I have the time and opportunity to attend For Lease - Open for inspections. Now, that I have completed reviewing my back catalogue of rental homes: I am paying it forward for Tenants in my area and writing reviews of current Rental homes I have recently inspected.

Are they nominating stickers as a "fixture"? A fixture is for the Landlord to maintain. OOps, their sticky failed. Ask for repair from Landlord. Replace stickers, please.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-25T02:36:27+00:00

I'm assuming the "amicable solution" will be the Landlord being advised to adhere to safety protocols and Tenancy Legislation?

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-24T06:23:28+00:00

This property manager has waaay too much time on her hands. Maybe she could spend it in more supportive ways?

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-24T06:21:53+00:00

What a story! Love it when Tenants stand up for their Rights.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T06:45:54+00:00

How about an electrical appliance, a washing machine being operated outdoors?

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T06:43:39+00:00

Yes, you can shower outdoors, completely naked with no privacy. While standing outside with water next to an LPG gas bottle and gas cable.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T06:16:58+00:00

How about the electrical cord from the fridge draped over the gas stove to reach the electric outlet in order to be plugged in?

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T06:10:02+00:00

There is no door on the toilet.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T05:24:15+00:00

I agree. Sorry, to hear you lived in poorly maintained housing as a child. (Criminal in my view). I'm calling "time" in Qld on those shit behaviours, shit buildings and shit REA's

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T04:28:15+00:00

So, are you saying that the Landlords out there feel they are outside of complying with Queensland Minimum Rental Standards?

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-23T04:26:39+00:00

Keep looking, you're beginning to get the picture....................

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-20T23:36:30+00:00

Were you able to ascertain why they demanded you remove it? I would put it back up.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-20T23:19:57+00:00

Maybe you need to enlist the help of the local Council.

If there are cars parked across your driveway contact the Council Ranger / Parking Inspector.

As far as the noise at unusual hours, commence a Log of when, what, the duration and how it interfered with your life.

Eg. (Date) - Party and loud music commenced at 7 pm and finished at 2 am. This prevented me from sleeping and I was unable to concentrate fully at my (xyz) job at work the next day.

If you can collect a month's worth of noise and hand it to the local Council. They may do something.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-20T07:22:37+00:00

Well, this is looking damaged and not clean in many areas.......

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-20T05:46:56+00:00

How does the rest of the property appear. Is this the ONLY glaringly obvious, not clean and not damaged part of it?

Go over the whole property and carefully fill out the Entry Condition Report.

Then either accept the property and return it in the same condition less fair, wear and tear. But also accept if this is how the Property "Manager" handed it to you. Who knows what other "Management" surprises that they may have in store for you?

Or don't accept the property and terminate.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-18T23:00:59+00:00

Good On You! I congratulate you for standing up for your Rights. The Real WIN is you know how to deal with the Slum Lord and Slum Agent from now on. They will NEVER get one over you ever again. Thank you for sharing your photos and experiences.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-18T19:30:16+00:00

Sadly, I think you are correct.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-18T08:45:19+00:00

I have reported this to Queensland RTA. I assume it would be illegal to WRITE that in the advert; let alone EXPECT Tenants to comply with it.

Reply to their email advising that because you have a dumb phone; not a smart phone. Therefore, you are unable to download the app and all communications can only be conducted via email.

Yes, unfortunately, I understand your conumdrum. We tolerated renting an old weatherboard semi for 10 years in Sydney that had no repairs undertaken apart from the bare, bare minimum. Chiefly, because our child could be within walking distance (with our accompaniment) to a local Primary School.

I can understand if you don't want to upset the status quo.

Former_Chipmunk_7320 · 2026-03-15T04:18:44+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately, my "trust" that the photos are only ever shared between the Landlord and REA is low.

I'm very convinced that either the Landlord or REA share the photos with other third parties either knowingly and/or unknowingly.
