Just moved in Artarmon from Perth, got into a rental house with a direct agreement with landlord (no agent involved). We were told house is professionally cleaned and the inspection was dont at 10.00 PM in the night. next day the owner disapper to US for holidays
Now we are in the property and cleaning is shit. nothing has been professionally cleaned, I found mold, toothpaste, misquito mesh which is filled with dirt. curtains have mold deposits on the inside. House is in f****d up state and the bloody owner is arrogant bitch.
She has bluntly refused to do anything about this. Do I have any rights?
or I fork out the money for getting this cleaned.
Cheers,
Bill
Bill you should take photos of the dirt mentioned,contact the RTA and please note that she should have given you an RTA book with your lease or receipt of rent paid.This book has all the rights that a tenant comes under when renting. You might want to get a professional cleaner to go through the house now,pay for the service,keep the receipt and when its time for you to vacate present the reciept as proof on how filthy the place was when you moved in.She wont have a leg to stand on but most probably she will pass it on the next victim like she did with you.Bill did you inspect the property before????
