They Say What They Say

Apparently my landlord has decided that surviving the financial crisis means putting my rent up for the second time in six months.

It's not a huge increase - barely $10 a week - but dammit they never do anything more than what they're legally obliged to and then they have the gall to put the rent up twice in one year?? The place hasn't been painted or re-carpeted in more than twenty years, the shower recess is a disgrace, there's not enough cupboard space and the oven still doesn't work properly despite the new thermostat. The stupid body corporate is so draconian they've practically banned breathing in the common areas, my TV reception sucks and you can barely move in my street on the weekend thanks to all the suburban hipsters clogging the road with their four-wheel drives while they do brunch at the cafe on the corner. If it wasn't for the fact that the rental market in Melbourne is currently as tight as a cabbage and it would take me weeks to find a new place to live, I'd notify them of my intent to vacate tomorrow.
