Also, when our refrigerator went out over the weekend and all of our food went bad, I was told "That i should have gotten a cooler" to place my food in, which was far too much food to be placed into one cooler. The AC went out several times (many weekends)during our stay in the house and since Foskey Propertiesĭoesn't have an emergency maintenance line, we have had to be an inconvenience to others while staying with them until we could get in touch with Foskey Properties. After a thorough cleaning of the carpet, some of those exact same stains came back up. There are many things in the house that need to be repaired and or replaced, starting with the carpet. And to be clear, we do have pictures of the walls and paint being chipped off by the doors, prior to us moving in. I have children with eczema(which was stated to Foskey Properties when i asked for them to have someone to come out and clean the carpet before we moved in) and one that is allergic to dogs. We do not own any pets and we never have.(i can have any of the neighbors vouch for this). We were also charged an $80 fee and a $100 pet agreement fee for what they assumed were signs of a dog scratching at the back kitchen door. I had to go out and rent my own rug doctor to clean the carpet because I had a small crawling age child. I had also called them several times after I did a walk through of the property before moving in to let them know that the carpet nor the property had been cleaned properly. Next, there was a fee for carpet cleaning and also a fee for general cleaning/cleaning of the appliances when these same things had to be cleaned by ME, prior to moving in because they were not done by the company nor the last tenants. So were the people that lived there before me charged $400 for the exact same thing Also keep in mind that i have pictures of the walls, and small holes in the walls from different things that had been hung on the walls and were not filled nor painted prior to us moving in. Next, they charged us $400 to repair small holes in the wall (from nails), when a small tub of spackling paste is less than $10. One of these trees has also kept the neighbor's yard in a mess over the past year as well. Yard or on the roof, the company or the owner of the house needs to invest in getting those tress cut down. In order for there to not have been any leaves and or broken limbs in the Keep in mind that there are three very large trees right beside the house that have grown up and over the house. We were charged $100 for exterior clean up for the leaves being on top of the roof, in the gutters, and in the yard. We moved out in December and out of $750 security deposit, they managed to take it all AND say that we owe them $80. Literally THE WORST! Very rude, unprofessional, not timely at all, inconsistent & inconsiderate! This is coming from one of the hardest right wingers on this site.This is the biggest scam of a rental company that i have ever come in contact with. Think about that for a moment all you lefties. That’s one more homeless family off the streets. Deb Foskey has the resources to purchase an alternative home, and so therefore won’t be harmed other than she’ll be back out in the real world with all us other suckers. To put it more simply, that house if vacated would provide a home for one homeless family.
The reason there is no affordable housing in Canberra is because rich people who have no need to be living in subsidised housing (before you start, read my comment above about full market rent), and that can afford to purchase more expensive housing, are malingering in the cheap seats. The theme of this thread is that there is no affordable housing in Canberra.
Since the need has been removed, by virtue of her earning in one year what it takes me four to earn, regardless of the fact that she is paying full market rent (oblivious of the fact that I consider the pittance she’s paying NOT full market rent), she is tying up a HOUSE that is provided for HOMELESS/DESTITUTE people. I don’t know how many times I have to repeat this same statement, it’s ok being a lefty, and it’s ok to consider fellow man, but Deb Foskey doesn’t need an ACT Housing subsidised house. It WAS set up however to provide homes to people who can’t put a roof over their heads. G, I looked at it that way, and while that would work for a tennancy corporation, or even the Defence Housing Authority, ACT Housing was never set up or intended to become a rent subsidy/income generating business.
