im sorry if this goes on a bit
ok we are moving out of our place in 2 weeks as we need more room and the owners dont ever get back to you on maitenance issues and my partner is applying for a guide dog and as we are currently in a unit its not appropriate.
so we have been searching and searching for houses that would meet out requitements as we need to be close to transport and shops preferably and they must allow pets... no easy find.
we went to see this house the other day and it was absolutely perfect more than enough space for all our things and the reptile tanks plus they aloud pets so i could have brought my dog with my who is currently living with my mum.
there were 4 different couples looking at the property and this was last week . we put our application in with all id and a letter about the animals. we are currently renting and have been for six months and have never been late with rent or anything like that and havenot broken a single thing.
we got a phone call from the realestate saying we were unsuccesful and apon asking why they said they werent sure and the owner made the decision however they did say something about no rent history.... how can we have no rent history IF WE ARE RENTING???
now out of all four couples that looked at the property im sure atleast three of them would have put in a application if not all 4 and guess what ... ITS STILL VACANT it still up on the web and after ringing the realestate they confirmed it
whilst on the phone i asked if they had selection criteria on how they selected new tennants as i know some places do.. i was very rudely told that they dont discriminate and its up to the owners who they pick and they have no selection criteria...
the woman on the phone was so incredibly rude i can understand how some agents get bad reptuations.
im just ticked as this place is perfect for us and ve got knocked back due to them being stupid . its not asthough we are first time renters
so in conclusion i am OVER LOOKING FOR A HOUSE!!!

...it sux big time ..you are made to feel like you are less worthy cause your only a renter ..you are made to feel like you cant have a say in anything why? CAUSE YOUR A RENTER ....it is HELL ...and the prices of rent are so bloody disgusting ...house owners that have a rental need to pull their heads in and get real ..yes it is a gamble you could end up with crappy tenants ...and thats what makes it hard for them can fully sympathise with that issue ,but on a whole the cost to rent the place is sky high ,the demands of what is needed to be done to fix the place is most often ignored by the owner/s and to top it off, if you put your foot down and refuse to pay rent ,because you been waiting like 3 odd months and gone through the 3 ringed circus tenant board to get somethings fixed ..like a back door that wont close ,a stove that wont work and hot water system on the blink ,no back stairs ,as they fell down when you were taking the washing out and you fell through the lower ones ..so you as the renter ,the only power you have is to stop paying rent ...and then they send you a breach of contract ....its a JOKE ....this happened to a mate of mine ,she has been battling this for a while ...the plumber told the owner he needed to replace the system as it was cactus ,instead the owner said he will deal with it ..never happened ,the stairs are still broken ,back door she had to push her dining table to hold it close ...and he still wants his $390.00 a week pfffft ...and to top it off ..because she refused to pay rent ...the real estate black named her ...UNREAL .....so glad we are about to leave the rental BS behind us ...we are nearly on our property ....
