Western Australia has reported many times that foreign students have met with unscrupulous landlords in Perth renting houses, where landlords steal things, send bills for other houses, and try to withhold deposits. It's a lot of tricks, and it's a lot of enumerations.
However, no matter how strange these people are before, compared with the great god we want to introduce to you today, it is only a small one. After all, people start showing up before the tenants move in.
The tenant who has been bullied by the landlord, we call it N classmate for the time being.
Classmate N said that about a month ago, she and a few friends in the moments saw a house in the North Bridge Parry Street rental, because the location is very good for their requirements, so she went to see the house.
After reading the room, the party was dissatisfied with the sanitary conditions of the house, so they asked the landlord that they would move in after they could clean the room.
The landlord naturally agreed, and informed them not long ago that they were ready to stay.
Because there was a real estate intermediary in the middle of the guarantee, N and several friends also did not go again to check the sanitary conditions, but instead directly found the moving company, and, in accordance with the landlord's request, on Thursday morning on May 10, pulling the furniture of the vehicle. To the front of the house.
But after opening the door, N and his friends immediately realized that it was impossible to start here with the wonderful new life they dreamed of. Because the room is still as dirty as it was when they arrived a month ago:
Kitchen range smoke machine, oven and even drawer handle, are stuck with thick oil;
The stove is sticky at the same time, there is no way to fight the fire, has been broken;
The table on the side of the stove, probably has not been wiped for a long time;
There were still spices and groceries left in the cabinets that did not know when they had been there;
There was a layer of dust all over the room, and at the same time there were all kinds of leftovers;
More disgusting, is the bedroom, N classmate said, as soon as walked into the master bedroom, on the smell of a thick urination, after a close look, master bedroom toilet, it seems that has never been brushed;
Moreover, the exhaust fan above the toilet has been entangled by thick spider webs and cannot turn at all.
In addition, the party also found that the air-conditioning of the house, like the stove, has broken down.
With so many problems with a house before it moved in, N and her friends, of course, were disgruntled and put forward a series of reasonable demands on the landlord to clean the room and repair the air-conditioning.
However, the landlord is very tough to say that he is no longer willing to spend money on the house, so, will not pay for cleaning, will not repair the air-conditioning, if tenants can not bear, can pay to improve their own money!
In fact, the cost of repairing such central air-conditioners alone is about 2000 Australian dollars, while cleaning the whole house, repairing the stove and cleaning dirty carpets may also cost nearly 1,000 Australian dollars.
However, these are all what landlords should do, and should never be passed on to tenants, not to mention that they have not completely moved in!
N and friends said at the time that the money should not be left to them, hoping that the landlord would take care of everything.
However, the landlord said that the "clean and tidy" requirements of the N and his party were too high to reach, and they had not yet signed with the intermediary, so it is illegal for N and his friends to move in now, so don't think that you spend a little money on top of it. If you're not satisfied, you can move!
In the recording message provided by the informant, we heard the landlord's attitude was very bad. However, due to the legal considerations of personal privacy, it is not possible to make public recordings here. I hope you will understand.)
Faced with such a poor attitude of the landlord and so poor living conditions of the house, N and friends immediately said to the intermediary, hope that the other party quickly find another house, they can immediately move again! You can't live here!
Fortunately, this time the agent was very good, not long in the vicinity found a house, N and friends to see, also very satisfied, so everyone again found a moving company, ready to move to a new house immediately.
However, when everyone returned to the first house and wanted to pull away the furniture, the grab Horse plot appeared again: the landlord did not answer N's phone calls, so, together with the moving company and the intermediary, a party was locked out of the door!
And, as the play master said, he has refused to sign a contract with the agent, forcing the other party to find the tenant to sign the contract, so, the intermediary does not have the key to the house!
In such a situation, everyone was confused, but, at that time, it was getting late, and if everything was held up, everyone would have to go to the hotel.
Forced, N had to go to the nearby police station to call the police, police said, such a situation, they can only help contact the landlord and let each other open the door. However, after the police dialed the phone, the landlord went online again and spoke Chinese to the police all the time. There was no effective communication at all!
Finally, the agency came up with a solution, signed a unilateral contract with N, ensured legitimacy, found an unlocked company and opened the door.
"as soon as we got in, the landlord immediately showed up and kept asking us how we got in," N said helplessly.
Fortunately, because of the police intervention, with the help of an intermediary, N-pedestrian this time no longer encountered obstacles, quickly moved out of the furniture, with the help of the moving company, moved into the new house at 10: 00 that night.
Although the staff of the moving company is very kind, they have been patiently waiting for the N-pedestrian to call the police, wrangling with the landlord and so on, and there is no overcharge.
But N and her friends paid one more removal fee, plus a lock-up fee, and went through a tiresome day.
Here, we really don't want to comment too much on the landlord's actions, just to persuade him to give up the landlord's promising career.
In fact, although the N line of people saw the house ahead of time, but blindly trusted the landlord's words, did not check the house before entering, it is also one of the reasons for this series of unpleasant occurrence.
Therefore, we suggest that the vast number of readers, especially students' friends, learn from the lesson of N, and do not trust others in the matter of renting a house. If a problem is found in the house for the first time, Be sure to check again after the agent or landlord says they have solved the problem.
