They decided they wanted 82 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: to sell so they can help fund their kids. When 83 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: we moved out, they went through everything charges to repaint 84 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 3: again because they didn't like the car, which was white, 85 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: and we had to go back three times to clean 86 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: the oven even though it was spotless. 87 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 4: It's so disappointing, especially when you're saying you've been a 88 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: really good tenant for thirteen years. A lot of people 89 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 4: don't look after the property if they don't own it. 90 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: It sounds as though though you did. It would have 91 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 4: been very disheartening. 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we lost their bond as well because they read painters. 93 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 5: Jodie, what did you ask for their permission before you 94 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 5: painted it. 95 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 3: Yes, they've been through many times in that time and 96 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: seen the painting, said look great, but then decided they 97 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: didn't want that. 98 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 5: How long to get stuffed?

You've got a dodgy landlord. 101 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: Oh, we definitely do what happened? So a couple of 102 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: weeks ago we got an email saying that he wanted 103 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: to increase one hundred and eighty dollars a week. We 104 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: informed him, you know, give us a few days, we'll 105 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: figure out if we can. Look, there's a few of 106 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: us in the house we thought we could put together. 107 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: Fast forward to last Saturday, We've got to knock at 108 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: the door from a couple saying, oh, do you guys 109 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: have the open home going on here? They put up 110 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: a post for the open home to start renting out 111 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: our house to someone else, because they had just automatically 112 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: decided that because we haven't got back to them by then, 113 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: that we could no longer afford to live there. 114 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 5: Okay, I would suggest they put that rent up to 115 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 5: a ridiculous price in the hope of kicking you out. 116 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 5: Knowing that they would have then been charging to the 117 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 5: new people. What you were talking about, Kate ten times, 118 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 5: probably what they're on now. 119 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: Disgrace.

It's hard for everyone. And 122 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: I think that the biggest disgraces are when people own 123 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: properties and rent them out and they own them out right, 124 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: they're just investment properties, so they're not trying to put 125 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: they don't put the rent up so that they can 126 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: cover their own repayment anything. They're actually it's just going 127 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 4: in their pockets. 128 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 5: Beam on the cake, There be a bit more. 129 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: Can we just play a little Riverban one more time? 130 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 5: Love Coming? 131 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: Can we play brilliant fifth reminiscing song? 132 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: Ritsi and Whipper with Kate Ritchie is a Nova podcast. 133 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: For more great comedy shows like this, head to novapodcast 134 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: dot com, dot au.
