A local landlord has today taken matters into his own hands after getting frustrated with some pesky tenants.
Grahame Warrington-Whitely (65) said that he’s decided to just sort a lingering issue with one of his investment properties out himself.
“Mate, I’m cutting out the middle man and sorting this mould issue,” said Warrington-Whitely.
“I’m so god-damn sick of hearing about these tenants whinging about the ‘mould’ in the place.”
Warrington-Whitely’s frustrations came after the 3rd consecutive set of tenants in 3 years moved out of the dilapidated old fibro place on the edge of the flight path district – citing concerns around price and mould.
“Mate, this generation just want to whinge about everything, back in my day you just lived in a place, made it your own and had a spoon of concrete to toughen up,” said the man who bought a really nice 4 bedroom timber house as his first place for $22,500 in 1984.
“Nowadays it just seems like everyone wants to whinge about how tough it is,” said the owner of 5 plus investments who refuses to pay a sliver of the rent generated by property to rectify mould issues that have been plaguing the place for years.
“So, rather than getting price gouged by some tradie to price gouge these tenants, I’ve just got a tub of paint and I’ll fix the mould issues in a jiffy.”
He then asked if our reporter would be interested in renting the place out after he finishes painting it.
“We could cut out the real estate and just do a private treaty?”
Our reporter politely declined.
More to come.
