The first and second terms are unpalatable but could be tolerated under limited circumstances. I would look at concealing a remote-monitored security camera by the front door to catch and alert any unwelcome visitors.
But that third term is a deal-breaker. Eight weeks of living in an unsafe, insecure home with no privacy? I'm not paying rent for that.
- djsumdog 7y agoThat third one is pretty common in many countries. In New Zealand one of my letting agreements allowed them to show the unit a month prior to moving out.
- hmhhcycbtsc557 7y agoMy rental contract (AU) has those three clauses parent poster presents, verbatim. It's sickening. I actually have a mind to go and find out from a lawyer if they're enforceable. I'm not Australian, but my sense is that tenants are viewed by the law as something between children and moral degenerates. EDIT: and landlords are permitted to (and do) "inspect the property for damage" on a six monthly basis. At which point they tell you the day before they'll be poking around in your home. I don't know why we stand for it, frankly.
- fwip 7y agoAbout six years ago I had to deal with this. The guy showing our place kept forgetting to lock our door afterwards - one time even leaving it ajar.
