Yep as crazy as it seems we are moving out.
Our lease ran out in January 2012. In November 2011 we spoke to the owners (who live in Melbourne) and the agent and they all new our situation. That we are building a house and at that time it was hopefully going to be finished by April 2012.
As you are all aware it has been non stop rain since Christmas and April is just not going to happen for us.
We received a notice in the mail a couple of weeks ago stating we are to vacate the property by 6th April.
We called the realestate agent and asked why we have been given a date to leave when we had agreed that we will give them/owners at least 6 weeks notice before we would be ready to leave. They said the owners want to come up and stay (in an empty house) over Easter. WTF.
We offered to pay their 10 day stay in at Broadbeach in a 4.5 star 2 bed 2 bath room apartment, at a cost to us of $2,500.00 as it is Easter holidays and we got a NO back.
Unbealivable.?????
They have started to advertise the property to be available again to rent from the 17th April. So the owners are seriously coming up to stay in here. OMG
As we have no lease with them at the moment, we have given them today 2 weeks notice. Which means they will be out of pocket around 6grand between now and the 17 April. Who is the fool now?
I have been extremely lucky to find short term accommodation at the Mantra Sierra Grand.
It is a 3 bed, 2 bath fully furnished apartment. Need to bring nothing but our clothes, food and computer.

After a few weeks reality will hit and it may become squashy but we have the beach at our door step and plenty of out door activities to keep us entertained. Oh and did i mention Restaurants......
More so, it takes the pressure off the builders for a quick finish and they can concentrate on building me a home that wont fall to pieces cause it was thrown together in a hurry. We can stay until August BUT gee we are hoping for the end of May 2012 for the house to be finished.
Now to find a removalist and a storage shed.
All because of a 10 day holiday stay from unreasonable, selfish, owners...(i could say more)
Have a great weekend,

That is unbelievable that they would do that. LOVE how you moved out now - tough luck. I must say moving where you are going looks pretty darn good.
ReplyDeletePen, even though it is inconvenient, I am so glad that you've taken the decision to get out of there straight away. God knows what other rubbish they might have thrown at you between now and April.
ReplyDeleteYour new digs look lovely, and I'm sure you will all enjoy getting out and about and living a different kind of life for a while.
Good luck!

OMG! That is ridiculous! You poor thing having to deal with that. I bet you've got it all under control though. Good luck xo
ReplyDeleteHey Pen,
ReplyDeleteSounds like it is all now working our for the best! Way to stick it to them by moving out early.
You would have to be happy getting to live in the lap of luxury for a while, you'll all feel like hollywood stars! Then you get to move into your own palace on the hill!
Looking forward to lots of beach shots and updates on the house!
Have a great day. x Jode
