A Sydney tenant has shared the ‘extremely rude’ email she received from her manager asking her to ‘clean up’ her house after noticing clothes on the floor on a previous visit
‘Is it just me or is this extremely rude from the broker? Sick of this, it’s our HOME,” writes the woman who has rented her unit for the past two years.
The email said the owner was in town and wanted to see the device for himself, so requested an inspection by Tuesday, Oct. 18.
“During the inspection we found that the bedrooms are untidy, clothes on the floor, cobwebs by the balcony doors, the bathroom and shower room could be cleaner,” the report read.
“I’d suggest cleaning up the place so it’s better for the owner.”
The furious tenant added that there were problems with the apartment, including water damage, and that the real estate agent had come to the house the week before to perform an appraisal – an event she thought the house didn’t need to be immaculate. to be.
She added that the real estate agent had come to the house last week to carry out an appraisal – an event that she did not think the house needed to be immaculate.
Responding to the agent, she said their apartment “will not always look like a display house.”
They clarified that the inspection the property manager referred to was an appraisal and their home was “spotless” on the last “real” inspection according to the notes and photos.
“As this previous visit was called an ‘appraisal’ and not an official inspection, we didn’t take the time to make it aesthetically pleasing to you and as such you caught us at the point between our cleaning and tidying cycles,” she wrote.
The woman attached the email stating that the last visit was an appraisal and not an inspection and reminded them to come home from work in the middle of the day to let them in.

“I apologize if this email comes across as confrontational, this is not my intention, but we found your comments quite rude,” she said.
“And as such I just wanted to clarify that it had been made clear that this was an inspection, then we would have made a concerted effort to have the unit tidier for your viewing.”
Hundreds joined the comments to share the tenant’s anger at the “minor” correspondence.
“My real estate agent said that she mainly does inspections to see if there is any physical damage to the property, not if there are some clothes on the floors/beds and some cobwebs,” wrote one tenant.
‘This is a small thing. A spider web?!? Ridiculous. I love my spiders, they eat the mosquitoes in the summer,” said another.
‘How clean a tenant’s room is, does not reflect at all from the broker, but that arrogance does’, claimed a third.
“I think the problem could be that the spider isn’t on the lease and they want to check credit history,” a fourth joked.
