Yes my bad, my earlier posts DO indeed appear judgemental. Hence my apologies to you Caterpillar. :o However, the purpose of my question, was not intended to make people feel they should be "ashamed". Albeit I don't agree with their vote/view (if it is, as Sunfish said "fair dinkum") that...

Relax caterpillar, the purpose of my questioning is based on years of observational experience; having researched behaviours and people's responses in focus groups. Albeit it could be perceived as "confrontational" especially if you don't understand my sarcasm (as many newbies such as yourself)...

I didn't say ALL the big guns, of course there will be the handful who will chase even the most miniscule of $$$ but if they're smart, and care anything about their reputation, they will write it off as a loss (a tax perk). I'm sorry (but no, not entirely surprised) to hear that these...

I rest my case Skater, It is the average "mum and dad" investor / landlord or lady that has most to lose here, and THEY will be the ones wanting to chase this money, not your Telcos, or utilities companies; they don't need the bad wrap (they get enough of that without having "heartless" added...

Agreed!! Disagree. Chances are for a sum of $600 (the amount in question here) most certainly YES. The bad publicity ie. "heartless" label/headlines born from chasing this insignificant amount, would cost any company worth their place on the stockmarket, more than it would be worth to...

To a certain degree yes, they do BH, But it appears there are more votes than there are corresponding replies, hence my question; call it curiousity!!! :p I need to add here, that I did not ask the question as a means of pointing the finger at anyone; people are entitled to their opinions...

You're making it sound as though he was left in the building to rot for days!!! :o BTW Natmarie, YOU can dismiss my question above, as you have already identified yourself. At least you have the b***s to stand by your conviction (even though others; myself included) may not share it; I...

Here's an interesting observation.... Polls are often an inaccurate reflection of reality. My guess is that those (at the time of writing this post) 13 people who voted/selected "I'd absolutely pursue my entitlements - this is business" are doing so as a knee jerk reaction; gun-ho...

Agree! And btw Jaycee, I'm female. ;) (Just thought I'd clarify as some people tend to refer to guys as "mate").

Oops, my bad...:o Sorry mate! ;)

Steady on Strannik, In Jaycee's defence, I don't think she was referring to anyone here. I think it was a generalisation of people overall "demanding" others do X, Y or Z (following the death of a loved one). Luckily, she was didn't make the mistake of referring to those jumping to...

I hear you Jaycee, but please don't be disheartened by the "demands" of others; at the end of the day, they are no different to you or me, they just need to brush up on their communication skills, that's all!!! :o

Yes Jaycee, I have lost both. :(

As someone else pointed out, this is a matter of the 28 days (no more or less) hence my views (morally and practically) are based on the situation for what it is, a small price in comparison to the huge loss to this man's family. At the end of the day, people will deal with this as they see...

EXACTLY!!! We're talking a lousy ONE MONTH'S RENT here, not a year's wages. It's not like the man was dead in the building for 6 months. Besides, after the publicity this smuck is creating for himself (ie. he has already identified his location; Traralgon) the chances of anyone renting...

I agree, it is the individual's responsibility to ensure that there is sufficient funds in one's estate to cover his/her liabilities; that is the RESPONSIBLE thing to do, however (aside from the fact that death is often thrust upon the unsuspecting....) The most logical course of action, is...

Gimme a break people.... THE MAN SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK....AND DIED!!! He didn't own a crystal ball and as such was unable to predict that in 28 days time was going to exit this world (let alone his !@#$%! lease agreement)??!! :rolleyes: Come on, how hard up do you have to be, to...
