House inspection

Brianmwalker · 2020-10-09 08:23:45

Are others having the rentals inspected by letting agents now that the whole country is at level 3 restrictions? I'm not comfortable with someone coming into my apartment that has probably been to 50 other properties in the last week!

Your a fringe case.
You have a bee in your bonnet because I don’t agree with you. I can assure you this “pandemic” is being taken seriously from my perspective. Do you think I want to take it home to my family, friends etc?

Nobody once said anything about unlawful entering a home. Of course both parties have to be in agreement. I don’t see the issue here as it doesn’t effect you. These inspections can be of vital importance. CO leaks, Fire alarm inspections, window opening size inspections. God forbid the inspection was cancelled and then something happened to the occupant. You’d have the same people on here blaming the state for not inspecting and insuring houses and apartments are up to standard.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t seems to be the moto.

The car test is just one example. DOE testing is still
Going ahead, school bus testing still happens everyday, I see painters, Tiler’s, plumbers enter homes every day. Precautions and common sense will prevail to let life go on and get back to normal hopefully as this “pandemic” is a nuisance to society.

No; I am someone who cares deeply about others as we have lost to covid-19 in our family and I am passionate about taking as much care as we can, whatever the small delays and inconveniences.

We have to face that in many ways life will never be the same again and cutting corners on precautions is a false economy.

And as long as many are not taking precautions seriously enough covid - 19 will prevail

I am sorry that you are so upset; and I mean that sincerely and fully. These are disturbing times and many cannot face the full reality.

Over and out from me

And thankful so many on the thread are taking this issues seriously
