LL has suddenly requested I remove all my plants from the balcony immediately because of alleged damage and complaints (currently unsubstantiated), and is going to do an inspection on Tuesday 22nd. This sounds like sheâs on the warpath now and wants to force me out.
Of course I canât get any advice on what my rights are until Monday, but for now Iâve sent an email asking for some evidence. Iâm not removing my plants just like that.
I donât feel safe or happy at all. I donât really wanna go back to the apartment right now.

This might be relevant to your landladyâs situation. I think she may be panicking a bit. Hopefully sheâll see reason on Monday. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-12/âŚ/104464504?utm_caâŚ

Oh it absolutely is. Land tax has gone up and the market rate has as well⌠Itâs just that she suddenly withdrew the offer of negotiation - I wouldâve thought keeping on a good tenant would be worth something. And I have every right to apply for a review. asking me to remove all my plants all of a sudden is rather unreasonableâŚ

Sounds like some made up BS if you ask me.
Maybe youâre right that sheâs trying to force you out.
Think itâs got anything to do with the VCAT application youâve put inV

Well I havenât even put in a VCAT application, just a CAV review of the rent increase - and I even told her it could very well end up being in her favour but I just needed to explore my options.
At this stage itâs sounding retaliatory.

I donât think a LL is in a position to review the safety of the balcony unless itâs clearly showing signs of problems.
Theyâd need an expert or something which would end up costing them.
If the plants could do then it would have been unsafe if you were out there instead right?
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I admit I do have a fair few plants out there but yeah she hasnât provided any proof so far. I donât think she would have a leg to stand on in vcat but I most definitely donât want to take it that far if I donât have to. The fact that she told me to remove all of them, though, is just⌠what.

You can buy insects for your garden online now. Fancy that. Just be careful what kind you get. ⌠đ

I can catch some clothes moths and bring them to kittens apartment just before they leave.
Oh no⌠The LL must have tracked in clothes moths during the impromptu inspection. Whatever will they do?
