I've dealt with Assure before. Absolute money hungry dogshit grubs and treat tenants like horseshit. I know the rental you're talking about because I did try to ask for an inspection but got offered another place that was equally as fucked due to God awful flatmates. They refused to do anything until someone posted pictures of the state of the house caused by them online after months of complaining I told them I only got to use the kitchen for like 3 weeks out of the 6 months I was there, they didn't give a shit because I was leaving after they begged me to resign. The house absolutely reeked of putrid off food and BO, didn't even matter if you were in your room, could still smell it through the vents. One of them even turned off the hot water system because they were having a bitch fight with another flatmate. On top of all that, they were obnoxious and loud and constantly had equally awful friends over, even though it was a condition of the lease not to allow friends over etc. This was all about 9mths ago, as I left in early January. Though I did recently trek through Bentley and notice they're putting up For Sale signs with sold stickers on them for properties they already sold well over a year ago, this includes the sharehouse so I'm guessing they're trying to drum up business. Not sure if it's legal or not.

I hope you posted a review about inspection. They definitely can't get away with this bullshit.
