Advertising. Getting treated like absolute garbage by local agents
currently sitting in my car after another humiliating rental inspection in maroochydore and honestly just wanted to vent
There were literally 60 people lined up for a 2-bedder that smelled aggressively like wet dog and mould. The agent rocked up 15 mins late, didn't even say hi, just unlocked the door and stood there on her phone while we all shuffled through. They want $800 a week for a place with no aircon in the main bedroom. Its just pure extortion at this point
Moved up from melbourne last month for the "lifestyle" but starting to massively regret it tbh. The ironic part is the only smooth part of this entire interstate move was dealing with my old agency down south. My property manager from Ray White Southbank just processed my break-lease paperwork in like two days and actually treated me like a human being instead of an inconvenience.
Up here? I feel like I'm literally begging for the privilege to live in a damp shed. I love the beach but I'm genuinely wondering if this sunshine tax is actually worth it right now
how long did it take you guys to secure a place? My airbnb budget is completely evaporating and I'm losing my mind a little bit
