Worst experience I had was one place where all the units in a block were for sale in one line. Inspections were twice a week and all day Saturday. Since there were about ten units we were supposed to share out the appointments.
Of course what would happen is that the poor agent would knock on someone's door, be told to 'rack' off and multiply and then we'd get the knock and a sad agent at our door saying "really sorry to be doing this to you again but..."
Our reward for our accomodating ways was an eviction notice posted two hours after settlement (to everyone in the building) evicting us at Christmas.
I have security cameras in my Subway store. But I was told by the security firm, that although it was OK to record pictures, if I recorded sound, I would be breaking the law.
I can't find anything on Google though, with a quick search- I'd be interested to know the legal basis.
Sometimes you just gotta shake your head and ask yourself "why am I so accommodating"
Anyone have any ideas on where to get cheap light fittings? (The one in the bathroom was busted before we moved in but it's a bad look and the landlord isn't going to replace it.)
What in the expletive deleted are you doing that for.
Landlord problem, landlord solution, they should be fixing it for YOU not you for them
Well, the agent has let us know that the owner is unwilling to make any repairs/additions pre sale.
A lot of people coming through are potential landlords and I'd hate to be evicted for being a scummy tenant due to a $10 plastic light fitting. (When we moved in we were told it would be fixed by the time we moved our stuff in. Oddly enough, hasn't happened.)
The toilet seat?
We got sick of sitting on a plastic razor blade and it looked like the last tenants had stubbed out their cigarettes on it.
Again, we don't smoke but the potential landlords coming through don't know that.
Well we've had some good news.
The place has unknown to us been off the market for the past couple of months.
Better news, for the owner at least is that it's going on the market again.
Which means that I have a lot of work to get done before the open house.
At least I replaced the grungy $5 toilet seat with something that looks a lot more comfortable.

Try if you can get inspection by appointment only.
Harder on agent, but if you can get agreement on it, will give extra peace of mind.
We always do. (I have been known to rush from work if I'm given 2 hours notice, shorter than that forget it.)
As I've known people in the industry I know as a tenant you have to be flexible otherwise the agent will cut you out of the loop and just show people through whenever they want.
Stand your ground, and make them respect your home!
No one seems to have mentioned you can refuse access for inspections. You're not obliged to allow people to traipse through your home (yes it's your home while you legally occupy it), whether inspecting to buy, casing the joint or stealing on the spot. You are required only to allow the landlord to inspect, with sufficient notice - usually 24 hrs. You could also negotiate 1 person through at any one time (the time of your choosing), their personal details to be given to you (incl. license & rego numbers - the agent can pull a privacy act or FOI stunt otherwise) and some form of compensation for your inconvenience.
