It’s so unnecessary 😕
My eldest daughter had both good and bad experiences during her university years. Well, now it’s my younger daughter’s turn to dive into this crazy adventure.
Maddy arranged her 2nd year accommodation with friends she met in her 1st year. I had heard there were a few things they had to bring to the attention of the agents, including where they said they’d had to take legal advice (which was true – guess who from 😊) in order for them to listen!
I was looking forward to seeing her new place when I went to help her move in some stuff she didn’t need at home over the summer.
It was in a row of terraced houses. It had a lovely bay window to the front room but this was overshadowed by the pile of rubbish in the small front garden, which should have been cleared weeks ago.
But wait, it got worse. The front door didn’t even open all the way, and the flooring in the hallway was as wobbly as a carnival ride.
And don’t even get me started on the shared spaces. Boxes and random stuff were strewn all over the lounge and kitchen area. It was like walking through a maze of chaos!
But then, I stumbled upon the grand finale— the freezer.
Brace yourself for this one. I opened it, and what did I find?
An arctic wonderland! I’m talking mountains of ice, stalactites, and stalagmites.
I kid you not, you couldn’t even open the only drawer. It was like a scene straight out of an Ice Age movie! 📽
This was a property that was supposed to have had a deep clean after the previous tenants moved out, or so the lease says.
It’s not difficult to treat people right, whether it is your tenants or your customers, so it baffles me why this happens.
Hopefully, by the time she moves in for the new term, it will be a different story. I’ll let you know.
