looking for rentasl & other musings

July 29th, 2024 at 04:34 pm

We have been looking for rentals and they are so over priced it is ridiculous...but I have also noticed how many have exclusions on their properties of what you can use and not use....which I would never rent...if Im renting a property I want to rent the entire property not just parts of it especially since you are over charging for it... and they usually only have 1 open....so we were suppose to see a nice house today but hubby had an eye appointment (has to have a needle in his eye each month) and the doctor was running 2 hours late so we didnt make it, I did call and explain, but you also can't apply for a house without looking at it so it makes it a bit difficult as well...my mom was coming over to look after our dog (has severe seperation anxiety)...so we didnt get to look at the property but we had my mom over for dinner and spent some time with her and all was good.

I am inclined these days just to go with the flow...no we didnt get to see that house but if we were suppose to we would have....but we had a nice dinner with my mom...my hubby got treatment on his eye and its my daughters birthday today (30th) so all is good...what I can't believe is that it is almost august...where has this year gone...it feels like we just had christmas a few weeks ago!!

    Honestly the rental situation is another sign that our country has gone backwards. What they are asking in rent per week is such a high portion of the average wage that it’s a joke. And the fact that a lot of the younger generation eg 21-35 now need to rely on gifts from their families to afford a deposit for a home just shows how bad things really are. And I also don’t understand why landlords would even leave their stuff in their rental and bar their tenants from that area? I’ve heard of it and think it’s the dumbest thing ever.

    Omg the terms do not make it sound like a rental at all, it sounds like you are renting at a boarding house! I thought when you rented you are supposed to have quiet enjoyment of a property? This sounds like everything is in the owner’s name, don’t use this, don’t touch that, ugh.
    Keep on looking mumof2, places like this aren’t right for you and your family.. I hope you can find a better place soon, good luck to you

    Exactly and the pickings here are slim and probably 8/20 have exclusions...its all about making money nothing else...the houses arent worth what people pay for them...we paid enough on this house in 3 years that she can do major renovations on it...its frustrating...but what choice do you have...we will find one that fits us...we still have 77 days till we have to be out of here
