A Betoota Heights landlord has gotten this shits today, after managing to go a whole year without having to do any maintenance on his investment property.
Lenny Kraftson, 54, tells The Advocate that he’d had such pleasant experiences with his male tenants who ‘asked for nothing’ but that his lucky streak finally came to an end when the house got its first ever female roommate – who according to Kraftson, has just been causing so many problems!
“The only time I ever got contacted by the boys was when the stove broke”, says Kraftson, “but now that I have a female tenant, I’ve been called into the house three times!”
“First it was, ‘the door doesn’t lock properly and I’m scared for my safety’, then it was about a ‘smell coming from the toilet.’”
“Now apparently there’s a cockroach infestation!”
“That’s the first time I’ve heard about it!”
Speaking to the female tenant in question, a young lady by the name of Vera Bishop, our reporter learns more about this house of horrors.
“Yeah I can tell you now, living with all boys is not like ‘New Girl”, she laughs.
“The whole place was infested with cockroaches but none of them seemed to be bothered?”
“It’s like they just simply learned to cohabit with the cockroaches.”
Speaking to another Betoota Heights landlord who owns several properties, Mr Jack Gillies, 49, The Advocate learns an inside secret of the trade.
“If you’ve got some shithole that needs tenants, get a bunch of boys.”
“If you’re renting a nice property that needs to be maintained, get a bunch of girls.”
