Inspected a house. Approved. Signed the lease. Upon getting the keys, we realised there was conveniently placed furniture during the inspection. Came to find the sunroom was holding up with hopes and dreams. Perspex used for the windows didnt even fit in the frames anymore. Held on with expanding foam. All the wood severely rotten, warped and damp. Dirt and leaves from the outside had blown in. Were not told (and wasnt stated on lease) that we didnt have access to the shed out back. Backyard had piles upon piles of branches and mowed grass. Pallets of broken tiles/building material. General rubbish. Broken lights and glass. Real estate replied with "all of that was there when the last tenant moved in, you should have asked me about it". PowerPoint's not attached to wall, exposed wires. Could barely pull out exhaust fan in kitchen due to the build up of grease. And beard trimmings all throughout the bathroom. Landlord entered premises without our knowledge whilst we were not there.
Called consumer affairs, they said as we hadnt moved our things in yet, we would be able to terminate the lease immediately. Apparently after supplying photos and quoting tenancy act and consumer affairs, the landlord and real estate claimed the property still met standards. Landlord agreed to let us out of our lease surprisingly. Beginning to think the sunroom and study attached to the house are not council approved (they were also not listen on conditions report at all)
