Notice Of Eviction
Today, Rent Guy got an Eviction Notice….
It was delivered by Registered Post, which *should* have meant that only he could sign for it, but, the Postie allowed me to do so instead, even though Rent Guy was home and available at the time
I didn’t even really sign for it….just my first name, which just goes to prove that a lot of the time, those things aren’t checked anyway :-/
Anyway….
Notice is for 120 days, and was dated yesterday (which also proves how good Australia Post are in delivering important things like that!!), which, by my working out, puts it at 15th of Feb
It was headed as - NOTICE TO VACATE - FOR NO SPECIED REASON
And yes, I’m betting that Rent Guy only showed it to me in the first place (this soon, anyway) merely because he didn’t understand what it was about….
I told him it was an Eviction Notice….he didn’t understand that, so I just explained it as “It means we have to leave”
“No worries”
That seems to be his catch-phrase these days, as he’s trying to sound more ‘Aussie’ :-/
In the mean time, he’s been looking for somewhere else anyway, and he’s offered for me to move with him….I can only hope that The Agent hasn’t put him on some kind of ‘Do Not Rent’ database….a Black List, in other words
Illegal or not, I know full well that they exist :-(
I’m of two minds as to whether I would want to move with him or not….especially considering the Fire a few weeks ago (see my Entry on that one), but, currently at least, I have no better option
In any case, I just said “Maybe” when he asked me about that
Also, in the mean time….on Tuesday, Rent Guy got a Letter from The Council in the form of a Notice of Inspection….basically saying that they’ve received a number of complaints, and will be making an Inspection to check things out for themselves….
That was supposed to be for Wednesday (yesterday), but, Rent Guy called them and managed to arrange it for Friday (tomorrow)
THIS one seems to have got him at least a *little* scared, as he said to me, “When the Council come, you don’t live here….you’re a friend and you’re only visiting”
That said, not long after he said, “I’m not worried….as long as they’re Registered to me, they can’t do anything”
Indeed….a couple of weeks ago, he called Vic Roads in order to get a Special Permit for them….kinda close with that timing, I’m guessing :-/
Watch This Space for Details, I guess….
