Well it really is a gloomy day today for some of us...
At 9.00am this morning I met a representative from the RE agency who manages my IP to find out if evicted tennant actually left (keys were supposed to be handed in a couple of days ago).
Firstly, her rent is 2 months in arrears (went to tribunal 10 days ago and was awarded her bond, plus an order for $600+ which is balance of rent owed to the tribunal date). Need to have that date changed to incude the 7 days she was given before she had to leave.
BUT that's not the worst of it:
The house has been completely trashed.
Carpets are so stained throughout the entire house they will need replacing....there's bleach stains as well as other disgusting matter in-ground.
Walls throughout the entire house marked and a hole punched in the wall of main bedroom.
Vertical blinds are damaged, stained and broken.
Oven is SO dirty I don't think you could clean it (mould growing inside in clumps!).
Garden is in disarray.
Bathrooms are covered in scum.
She has also left LOTs and LOTs of rubbish and very tatty pieces of furniture behind. Quite sure she's not coming back for them.....the trampoline has a hole in it, there's kids bikes that are really old, couches and arm chairs that are badly stained and torn, a double bed and base that even the Salvos wouldn't take, and cupboards that are falling apart. She even left food on the kitchen cupboards and old lamps and video/computer equipment in bedroom cupboards. Basically there's not one space that's clean or untouched by these ferrels.
Nextdoor neighbours told us the boys were constantly on the roof, there's one of those finial things been pulled of the facia, and we are yet to have the tiles checked. (neighbours are really nice people and they've had to live next door to this for 12 months)
They painted something on top of the letter box in bright red paint and therefore left two big red squares behind
The picket gate and fence has broken pickets and one completley missing.....
(I cannot believe that anyone could live like this?)
Sorry for the long list but need to give you all a picture of this devastation before asking some imperative questions:
Will the tribunal change the order to include the cost of all this damage when we apply to have the arrears amount updated (PM says to change the arrears amount won't cost, but expect adding the damage bill to her order will?) Or, does the insurance company pay out our claim then chase her? If not, we want to find a debt collector to find her. What advice do people have? I am absolutley devastated and at the same time angry as hell
Cheers
