It seems that every day a new and more horrible rental story spawns to remind us of the evils of landlords but nothing I’ve read so far displays as much demonic fuckery as this one: a Brisbane renter was left to piss in her sink for more than a month because her real estate agent refused to get her toilet fixed.
Kara, who understandably did not want to have her last name published given how evil the rental market is, had been living in a granny flat in Brisbane for $230 a week until just a few days ago. You may consider that an incredibly cheap rent in the current economy, but I assure you, it was not worth the assault to both her dignity and her nose.
Kara described the Brisbane rental as a “shoebox” with a multitude of problems, one constant issue being the toilet. In the two years she lived there, she had a plumber over four times for the toilet alone.
“A few months ago, my toilet had an ongoing issue where you’d flush, but the water would rise and nothing would go down,” she told news.com.au.
