LAZY no matter how good a tenant keeps the property, the agent has a contractual obligation with the owner of the property to inspect the property. They should have had a quick walk through regardless of how you usually keep it. They normally do, and I was prepared for them to, but after nearly five years without any issues... and I came here with a good record and refs from my previous tenancies. This isn't a 'houso' block where everything gets trashed on a regular basis, and isn't full of dropkicks, drunks and druggoes. It's mainly older people (over-50), some disabled, some not. I'm one of the 'youngsters'. Thats irrelevant ... he's being paid to inspect, he should inspect . It doesn't take that long. It's their problem, between the agent and the owner (who, BTW, has also been, inspected and approved, about 12 months ago), not mine. I'd still have passed, no matter how rigorous the inspection may have been. And they know that. Also, as I said, this is not a run-down public-housing dive populated by no-hopers and idiots. So if you happen to be worried that any taxpayer money is at risk, rest easy. It isn't.
