Hi,
When I moved in 21 years ago I was 8 months pregnant. The previous tenants were drug addicts and there was burn marks on every bench and all over the carpet. There also was insulation throughout the house as someone had broken in. There was a car full of rubbish in the back yard and grass up to the windows. This is how I accepted the property as I was desperate and they promised that I’d have new carpet before my baby crawled. He’s now 21. They replaced the lounge room 12 years ago, but I had to pay $100 to have the hall done otherwise it’d be two different colours from the front door. Bedrooms where we sleep and heal have not been done. Kitchen was relaid with vinyl squares but was no sealed. They told me I have to ring every three weeks and harass until I get it, even though they acknowledge that carpet is meant to be replaced every ten years. How do I take dept of housing? I think we need a class action. Full rent has been paid in time for all 21 years. If they were a private landlord they’d not be allowed to treat tenants like this.
