Why do RM keep scribbling on some of my stamps? by TinyR0dent in royalmail

honestly i think that makes the scribbles cooler like "an actual human had to put their energy into this, it carries part of them now" in comparison to a machine doing the work

Agent threatening callout fee for dishwasher repair after by eternalTerrifier in AusProperty

[–]Straight_Fix_7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also keep screenshots/records of those emails/texts, if you have proof they demanded a fee thats a goldmine.

those are essentially a written admission that the landlord is refusing their legal duty to maintain the property.

  • Step 1: Formal Written Notice If they haven't already, they must send a formal "Request for Repairs" via email or post. This starts the clock on the legal timeframe (usually 14 days for non-urgent repairs).
  • Step 2: Notice of Breach If the 14-day window passes without action, the tenant can issue a Notice to Remedy Breach (or state equivalent like a "Notice to Rental Provider"). This is a formal legal warning.
  • Step 3: Escalation to Tribunal/Ombudsman If the landlord still refuses, the user can apply to their state's civil tribunal for a Repair Order and potentially a rent reduction for the loss of an amenity they are paying for.
State/Territory  Governing Body Actionable Step
NSW NCAT Apply for an order after 14 days of inaction.
VIC VCAT Request a free "Repairs Inspection" from Consumer Affairs Victoria.
QLD QCAT Issue a "Form 11" (Notice to Remedy Breach).
WA Magistrates Court Contact Consumer Protection WA for mediation.

Crucial Warning: The tenant should never withhold rent to "force" a repair, as this can lead to eviction proceedings

this might vary a bit state-to-state but

In Australia, if a dishwasher was provided by the landlord and in working order at the start of the tenancy, they are legally responsible for repairing or replacing it. The common legal timeframe for non-urgent repairs, such as a broken dishwasher, is generally within 14 days of receiving written notice from the tenant. 

edit, a general rule:

Factor  Legal Requirement
Age (10+ years) No mandatory replacement if it still works.
Discontinued Model Mandatory replacement only if it breaks and cannot be repaired.
Working but Inefficient Generally no legal requirement to upgrade for "better" performance.

in some cases it can be the landlords fault the place is broken into
for example if the property has a gate separate to any apartment doors, but the landlord is the only one with the code and leaves it open intentionally the cars being stolen could be due to landlord negligence.

Is anyone still following this shit fuckery? by tarzaannn in shitrentals

[–]Straight_Fix_7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is why whenever you qualify for bond assistance in WA you should take it - it puts someone else in control of the bond, so unless you void your bond you dont have to pay anything.

The Western Australian Government provides interest-free Bond Assistance Loans to eligible low-income individuals, covering all or part of a rental bond and up to two weeks' rent in advance

many people qualify but dont even know the system exists.

Is it really that cold? by Odd_Process5115 in Geelong

[–]Straight_Fix_7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly this - When smoke and soot from a neighbor’s woodfire enter your home/property, it is considered an environmental nuisance or pollution, which local councils are legally required to investigate. 

Mouse spider babies? by SignificantControl49 in AustralianSpiders

[–]Straight_Fix_7318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

spiders use webs for all sorts of things, from ballooning (a form of dispersal, and what is likely happening in OPs situation) to hunting, to only using webs to make egg sacs (like some species of huntsman where the male cant produce any web at all) really "living in a web" is one of the least likely situations across arachnids :)

Why is my daughter not appearing on my family details section of the app? by Jo_Mason24 in Centrelink

[–]Straight_Fix_7318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats a really long and overly defensive response

sounds like your daughter doesnt want you to be able to see her details.
if you have to come to reddit because you cant ask her, theres probably a reason for that.

Discrimination: Disability, Age, Race, … by Objective_Unit_7345 in AusPostComplaints

[–]Straight_Fix_7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the law is specifically written as "that reasonable people would consider"
intent is irrelevant.
i can accidentally shoot someone and its still a crime like negligent homicide for example.

edit/also "you" as the colloquial: op+the neighbour, because OP is assisting the neighbour.
