Stupid real estate!

last house was rented private and we gave a 4 weeks rent as deposit. when we went to leave she tried to rip us off 2 weeks. she also claimed that if we wanted to deposit direct it'd be $20 extra a week for rent. I told her she was full of *****!

Well I worked it out. I only owed $10 on top of a weeks rent. It came to $600 coz the extra I'd paid didn't quite make up a full week, so didn't count iykwim?
I pay today & I'm paid up til next Thursday now

Have you advised them of the mistake?

[~clover~]

No. I'll double check tomorrow. Oops, Monday!

Glad you got it sorted out! Oh and my landlord is ****ing me off. Says he's going to send someone around to paint the lounge roof and how the hell am i going to entertain the baby all day out and about? I really don't like the idea of leaving a painter in my house but i can't stay around with the paint fumes and a baby. Think i might just tell them we're moving out end Nov and can't he wait til then

You would be surprised at the lack of paint fumes these days. You could just leave the windows open overnight and it will be fine xoxoxo

It's more the fact we have a really tiny house and even the "non-scent" paint gives me a headache. The loungeroom is basically the hub of the house and we have to go through it to get ANYWHERE! Including the kitchen if I need to prep a bottle or the toilet if I need to wee. I really hate the feeling of someone strange in the house with me too and don't trust them enough to leave the house for the day as we have valuables. If the landlord asks what day we want him over we'll just tell him we are moving end Nov and he will have to wait as it's too much stuffing around to uproot little one for the day.

Sorry I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread :/
