Description

Reality Bytes hosts: Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic, interview Michelle a NSW Community Housing Tenant.

Saturday: 23rd April 2022 at 4pm.

As a community housing tenant Michelle has experienced a broad range of dramas to do with her tenancy and attempting to have a broad range of housing maintenance issues addressed by the community housing provider.

For the purposes of anonymity Michelle's name has been changed; where she actually resides has not been disclosed and the name of the community housing provider has also not been given.

This interview was pre-recorded just prior to Easter.

Issues Michelle discusses include however not limited to:

• Ongoing flooding issues which is causing a range of potential structural problems for the dwelling.
• The tardiness of the community housing provider as a landlord to address all maitnenance issues speedily and effectively.
• The moisture levels in the home which is now causing black mould to appear on various skirting boards and walls.
• And, so much more.

Community Housing Tenants have the same rights and responsibilities as any other tenant, yet many community housing providers (like the one highlighted in this live/podcast) point blank refuse to undertake maintenance and repairs in a timely manner which results in tenants living in sub-standard accommodation and having their tenancy threatened if they dare to riase their voices.
