This is an open letter to the Real Estate who
mange our home, and to the people who own it
This house
has become our home. I have loved it greatly in the eighteen months that we
have lived here. I believe this shows in the care and love I have given this
home. From the internal renovations I have done, such as painting bedrooms,
painting door frames, repairing screen, and sewing and replacing torn
blinds.
To the
external, which I have also done a lot of work. It was a massive task cleaning
up the back yard (with a huge amount of help from Dad and my little sister), I
cleaned away the pool site that had been a safety risk to anyone entering the
back yard, landscaped, planted grass, and built two huge edible gardens. In the
front yard I have dug up and landscaped the front garden beds.
I believe
all of this work is a sign of how much I love and care for this house, even
though we only rent it. I believe it is very reasonable to ask that we do not
have to live in a house that floods every time Brisbane has heavy
rains.
The
downstairs, Jarvis’s play area and the office/sewing room has yet again been
further damaged from this week’s rains, and will continue to do so until repairs
are done. I am aware that plumbing and drainage need to be done to rectify the
situation, but surely it is not too much of an ask, to not have a cupboard that
turns into a waterfall each time it rains?
I am also
aware, that we have now asked over a dozen times for this repair to happen, and
as of yet we have received no response, other than from the Real
Estate telling us they will inform the owners.
Thanking you
Your tenant,
Julie
