Classic REA ignoring renters rights
Had a REA come to my rental lately to check the utility meters. I tell them that they arent allowed to do that without sending a form 19 and they act like its fine because they dont have to come inside the house. I guess if its that way I dont need to maintain the front or back yard because thats not in the house and therefore not part of the property. But I guess they'd like to have it both ways there.
Then sending me two lots of utility bills at once. 4 months of bills. Been dragging their feet to show me their actual bills, likely because they know ill hit them with the ole "well it took you over 30 days to alert me to this bill and invoice me, better luck next time"
Then showing up 1.5 hours early for a rent inspection to tell me 'oh we texted you the day before about moving it earlier' which i didnt even get, and even if i did thats not how it works chaps.
Its a shame too, I highly praised this REA, but its just gotten dodgier and dodgier.
Asking for a friend. What happens when the renter breaches the REA? Is there any reason to do it?
