A couple of the 'bad' things Housing does are: 1. Fail to warn you they typically charge $2000 or more to tenants moving out. ( Probably they'd want to keep this secret because they're false and improper charges.) 2. Fail to tell you during your tenancy that something about your house or premises may prove expensive to you to fix when you move out.
( Probably because there's nothing wrong anyway...
but as a principle there should be a record of this having been done if
you've been charged for something).
These things have been discussed elsewhere. Here. But another thing, somewhat similar, is that : . They COULD BUT - DO NOT give you an opportunity to fix problems yourself after you've moved out. I have searched the legislation and failed to find any reason why they should not notify you of things they consider need fixing about your premises after you've moved out - and give you the opportunity to fix them. This covers everything from telling you you've left your mobile phone behind to telling you that you'll need to remove that shed you built in the garden. Anything and everything. From removing children's marks from the walls to fixing holes in the fence made by the dog. Why not tell you? Why not give you a chance to fix it yourself? Why not indeed. There's no sane reason why not, no sane, healthy reason, there's only a slack, unfriendly, unprincipled and improper desire to have done with things as quickly as possible, to ignore the client, to hide their own falsehoods, to farm out work to their mates and to ride roughshod over everything that Housing NT is supposed to stand for. They have an option, for instance, of storing the goods they find you've left behind until such time as you come and get them, or disposing of them if they think the storage would cost too much.. It is quite clear. They have that option. A first, instant, step towards the better of those two options would be to talk to you wouldn't it? But they, on present performance, won't bother. How remiss is that? What sort of people are they? You might well ask. You might well. Just what sort of people are you dealing with. Think about it. Sworn to help you, the disadvantaged, the people by definition with the least money in the whole society, they happily dip their hands in your pocket at any time and treat you with the utmost contempt inasmuch as they give you no consideration whatever. |
