So you know how I ended my last blog post with unless, it’s because I had a thought. It was an interesting thought, that’s for sure. Is it a genius thought, maybe. Will the thought work? Who knows.
I spoke with the girls who I live with about going to the landlord and making a proposition. Our proposition is that we add another bathroom into our house by doing laundry renovations. In the Melbourne area there is a trend of adding a basic toilet and shower into laundries so that landlords can claim there are two bathrooms in a home. It’s a bit of a cheat to the system but it’s also a massive upgrade for our household because we’d have another place to shower and go to the toilet. I know that doubles the cleaning, but it would also mean that the bathroom wouldn’t get as dirty as quickly because we’re spreading out the usage. How smart is that? I wonder if the landlord will go for it. I’ve got the girls on board though and in all honesty, that’s probably the hardest part at this point.
Okay, so the landlord absolutely did not go for it. In fact, she laughed in our faces. She said that if we wanted to get into any sort of conversation with bathroom renovations specialists near Melbourne then we could do it when we own our own properties. How rude! All of us girls have spoken about it and we’ve agreed not to renew our lease with this landlord next year because she’s so rude. We’re not going to give our money to someone that doesn’t care about our basic needs. Just because we’re renting doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to have basic amenities and what not. Oh well, our lease is almost up and she’ll be losing tens of thousands of dollars next year without us. She should’ve listened to our bathroom renovation request.
