Hahahahaha. Why didn't I think of that Oh, wait, I kinda did. I told them that if they were ********s with the bond I would bring hell down on them. They called my bluff
Thanks MTR and Kathryn_D - this is the stuff I needed to work through.
I requested sit down meetings with the agents and the landlords several times (in writing and via phone) and raised my concerns about the piers (albeit with just the agents). Everything has been ignored.
This landlord and the agent have been ridiculous to work with - completely unreasonable and unfair. I don't do these sorts of things lightly or as a knee jerk hence this post to work on my own thought processes.
The entire story is too long and boring but suffice to say it is a doozy

About 3 years ago we considered buying a property. We brought in our trusted electrician. The place was great, except the wiring needed to be replaced ($25K estimated cost) It was 'live' in the main bathroom.
There was also an in-law apt attached to it. The tenants had no clue how dangerous this place was.
We decided not to buy it, but did put in writing to the REA that it needed to be rectified.
It was taken off the market.
I don't think anything ever happened.
It was a former funeral parlor..complete with morgue.. casket elevator...spooky
I love unusual properties. Can't wait till we can deviate from our boring strategy and buy some full-of-history-and-story places (and all the problems that come with them )
It had a third floor, but they took out the staircase to it. Rob climbed the ladder and ventured (I dont like ladders). It still had 1000's of death certificates up there.
The property was converted back to a family home.
We considered a bed and breakfast type place, or possibly a rooming house.
The main floor still had an elevator for guests to use...though it was more for show. Great potential, but way overpriced.
also had a fourth floor and roof garden space, lovely possibilities,
but I was the only one to see them
except for the damage that would be done bringing the place to livable
serious electrical and water problems (often both in the same place bzzzzzzzzz)
holes in the everything
