So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn't have one)
Except we can't close it.
The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.
Under RTA S72 Was told that rental provider must repair within 48 hours
Under RTA S67 quiet enjoyment of premises, and that I should be able to use all facilities and rooms to full extent.
But I couldn't find anything written to support the "48 hours" figure and the "full extent" statement that I could refer to in the next email, any idea?
Agent pushed back saying it's normal for the switch to trip if we overload the circuit lol. No shit. But if the apartment's power is cut off from an outside switchboard that only owners corp can access... gotta wait 3 days for someone to come and fix it.
And for clarity:
Switchboard inside apartment: Oven, hot water, and I think the stove are on their own circuits. No idea where the bathroom heater is wired up to.
From outside of the apartment: aircon on one "line", oven/hot water/stove/bathroom heater on another, other outlets on another.
Using oven/hot water/stove/heater together apparently cuts the power to the whole apartment from outside, but from what I can gather, we would be fine using a smaller combination of the above, our own portable heaters and aircon together lol.
Yeah.. inside the apartment (after the internal switchboard) they are on their own separate circuits.
But apparently before the internal switchboard, there's the external switchboard controlled by owners corp.
The split system's on its own ("line"? the landlord used the term "line"), the oven/stove/heater/hot water is on another, and all the other outlets are on their own as well. We have been told there's no problem running the split system and loading up the other line, but run the oven/stove/heater/hot water together and the whole apartment will get cut off from the OC board and requires OC to come out and flip it back on.
I wish there is a product where it combines the responsiveness, seamlessness and app integrations of Siri with the data sources of Google Assistant, that is available on iPhone 13.
Most of the time I just use it to message my wife and set timers while driving.
On GA, doing things is hit or miss, sometimes it confirms the action without actually doing anything. Sometimes it's able to tell me the dates of the Antipodes Festival and what time Kenangan is closing. Sometimes it just goes "sorry I don't understand" for every single command that's not related to navigation.
On Siri, if it understands my words then it reliably gets work done and quickly. But it refuses to answer any factual questions while driving.
Yep, it's 2k/mo for a 1bed. Now we're 2k/mo in a 2bed plus a living room itself that's bigger than the old place whole. And also so my wife's parents can visit.
Moved to new apartment. Landlord proactively warned us that the oven, stove, the bathroom heater and hot water are on one circuit and to avoid using them all together.
Breaker for this outside of our internal switchboard and is only accessible by OC (not the landlord nor agent). From the message, feels like the landlord might have copped 3 days without power.
Friend just told it's unacceptable/below standard. Going to email agent to get this fixed, any good references I can use during this argument?
(on another note, we wouldn't have rented this place if we knew the parking space is going to be dark, dusty, musty, and hard to drive in/out. Am lucky we are driving a small car, because I'm fairly certain anything a Corolla Cross or larger won't fit at all)
Baku :( I really hope you will be in a better situation asap, seems you've been having really bad luck with everything.
