Landlord from Hellbacktrack abit...I always wanted to blog about the last place we rented..but was always too angry and disgusted to be reminded about this landlord...since i have moved to this new place..where I am much happier..i think its time...we rented this place for a month...without inspecting the place 1st..we saw it on the Internet ad and since the pics look
ok..and the rental rate looks fair enough...we called the landlord..and he was okay to hold the room for us for two weeks without charging any rent until we move in...we tot we
strike a great deal...
BUT..on the day when we moved in...the nightmare begins...
we had a long contract listing of NOT to dos..cant wash the car..can take showers for more than 4
mins...(due to
Qld water restriction..but 4 min shower
leh..i don even feel clean after showering for 4
mins lor)..then
internet is only 1 GB per month..save lights n water
tt kind of thing..no food in room...anything u violate..is charge extra
tt kind...(the rental here are usually very relax..they don even care u bring food in ..or on the lights the whole night)
the cabinets, fridges are all carefully labeled..accordingly to items and usage...there are rules and WARNINGS sign printed by the landlord all over the house...like ''DO NOT PUT HOT PANS ON THE STOVE..or u will pay for the damages" etc...lots of rules all over the house...there even a complete HOUSE RULE pasted on the wall..
there are nasty house meetings where we were threatened to be kicked out immediately if we break any of his rules...knocking on the door to remind u of this and that...always very minor things...which is highly irritating...the ultimatum came when he told me to empty the rubbish bin... (its a practise for tenants to clean up the household on a rotating basis..) but i knew we were eating out the whole week (cos he SPY us cook and eat..which is highly uncomfortable.) and obviously there is no rubbish..I refused him straight away..its all his junk food rubbish what..why i must clear for him...he no hands
meh...
the real ultimatum came when he knocked on our door like 4 times at 12 am and issued us with a warning letter..cos we hanged our damp towels in our room...OMG...really very crap...he even shined his torchlight from our windows from outside the house..to check on us...my blood really went boiling...
He is such a weird
pycho...he should be a prison officer i think...he even charged rent and issued them
receipts to his step children..and the step children are just like tenants..have their own allocated cabinets and stuff and cook their own dinner..I din even know they were related until I heard they called the landlady Mom..imagine our shock..
hahahwe merely stayed for one month..the moment the contract ended..we wanted out..the room din even look like that from the pics...this is what it looks like..the pic looks like taken from 10 years ago lo or highly
photoshop...
and u know what..the suburb we live in is call
DOOLANDELLA...then me n
gavin made a joke out of it...live there really will be
DOO LAN...(dulan)..wahaha...
and the worst part..we din really do our homework thoroughly enuf..we checked the location only...the place has good transport to the city and shopping centers ...but it was a Vietnamese area...all the shops are very run down written with Vietnamese words all over..that we can understand ...even the local library carry Vietnamese books...one of the shops even had a explosion..luckily we din go to the mall on that day...
the month we stayed there its always raining..and the day we moved out....there's a double rainbow in the sky...what a indication..now we moved to SUNNYBANK (and its really very sunny hahah)at the same rental price..haha..
i shall do a part two of the new place we staying soon..hahha
