Operation Cleanup is progressing decently. The real rush is gonna be after sox leaves around 2ish. Time to start consolidating every single cat item though so that none of it is in the house during the inspection, not even in the cupboards or rubbish. I've decided I won't be at home for the inspection as (a) I have a viewing to go to an hour after they arrive, and (b) it will be emotionally draining to hold back my resentment/negativity. Best that all communication is in text.
Poor poor sox. She's been glued to me all day and been so cute and snuggly. She has no idea that in a couple of hours she's going to be forcibly bundled up and whisked back home where she won't get to jump on the bed or get fussed over like a child. C'est la vie my little furry friend.
Meanwhile, finally got onto the magical hold music on the Tenants Vic hotline after 11 tries. Gonna just double check what my rights are regarding the demand to remove all my plants (which I have yet to receive evidence for claims that it's damaging property/upsetting neighbours, so I haven't moved anything. I'm not going to be bullied. And I sure as hell won't be breached over it). Got another rental viewing in five, chances are I'll have viewed it and still not gotten through on the hotline...
The plants thing is ridiculous. Hope you get an answer about that.
Yeah it definitely smacked of retaliation but now that they seem to be engaging an agent again sounds like maybe they've decided to keep quiet. Sadly got booted off the hotline after being on hold for 45 minutes, I'll have to try again first thing at 2:30pm or first thing tomorrow at 9:30am.
How frustrating. Also, the whole thing is just stupidly pass agress, right?
Totally. It's like a 180 deg change from how she used to be all these years. I'm glad I've decided to move on from it, but the next challenge is finding another place that'll tide me over. Think I need to get back onto fb and scour fairy floss and the like for lease breaks that aren't popping up on realestate.com.au.
