So as ive posted before our RE has been hard to deal with.
We recently were ment to have a rent inspection on the 19th of Dec. The re tried to change the date then decided to keep the date. Again just went with it. It was ment to be done between 9 and 1pm. We waited at home till 1:20pm she hadn't turned up so we went out. Only to get back and have DS tell us she turned up after 1:30pm. She didn't come inside the house as she had no key BUT she unlatched the side gate and walked around the back ect. We were pee'd off a bit as it was after 1pm so she had no right to be there,But figured like the other 3 times she didn't turn up we would get a new date for the inspection.
Well that didn't happen. The next day she finally sent someone out to fix the retic which the plumber broke back in may and we have told her this many times.So even after fertilizing the grass and hand watering when we could the grass was dry. Anyway the day he fixed the retic she sends us a RE INSPECTION letter!!!! It tells us we need to water the garden with the retic as the grass is dry and patchy, they recommend we do it on our watering days. Tells us to fertilize the grass too. Tells us to water the plants as they are browning and to remove the palm leaves from the back.
Im beyond mad! So I make some calls and we are right she is in breach for coming onto the property after said time.And that she can not re-inspect unless she has breached us which she hasn't and cant due to her being there after her time.
So I email her telling her we had got advice regarding her letter.And that she was in breach for coming onto the property after said time.Pointed out that the retic had only just been fixed and that she can not reinspect without breaching us for which she has no grounds. Also asked what plants she was talking about as there was only one that was brown and its a plant that browns off then grows back. Let her know that the palm leaves which are in fact placed in a neat pile ready for greens collection.
This is the reply we got back :
So she agrees the date was right but completely ignores the fact that she had passed her 1pm cut off.The photos she sent us are not dated and ar from way before we moved in as the lawn was dead and they asked us for our receipt from when we fertilized the lawns so they could use it against the ex tenants. She tells us she expects the greens to have been before she comes...yeah cause we can control that right?!?Many thanks for your email.
Further to our email sent 17/12/2013 , we had court on the day of the 19th
of December 2013 and your inspection was carried out on my way back to the
office on this day.
The main concerns for this inspection was for the lawns and gardens to be
checked and have attached photos "ingoing ( for comparison) and inspection
photos carried out on the 19thof December ".
We have sent you a reinspection letter as apposed to a "formal breach
notice" as this does not cause a blemish on your tenant card. We feel now
that the reticulation has been repaired and you have fertilized we should
see a vast improvement for our next re inspection which is due on the 24th
of January 2014. We trust that by this date the greens collection will have
also occurred.
We look forward to seeing you on the 24th of January 2014.
Kind Regards,
Now we don't know if we should breach them like we were going to as she basically says she is doing us a favour by not breaching us on the grass, which she should be able to anyway as its her fault for not fixing the retic.And its most annoying that she has deliberately sent us the reinspect letter the day after the retic was fixed,not the day after she inspected.That was the 19th the letter we got is dated the 3rd of Jan!!
ere scared now that if we do or say anything to tick her off she will breach us on anything she can and that it will make it hard for us to find a new place...which we are doing right now as this is a joke!
They haven't fixed anything we have reported so far, We have power points we cant use as they zap you,same with the toilet light.We cant use out bedroom light as the rain has gone right through the roof and leaked out of the light above our bed so much so we had to place a pot on our bed to catch the water.This has been reported to them 4 times! The power box for a room fan is literally hanging by the power cord off the wall and they haven't fixed that as well. What are we ment to do.We tick her off then we will get a bad referral from them when we apply for a new place,or she will breach us on anything she can. We don't know what we can do.
And now were worried we will loose our bond for things that aren't our fault.I took pics of the whole home thankgoodness so I can prove what the inside was like but we forgot to take pics of the lawn and garden,which was dead when we moved in.
Freaking out!!!
