    My previous post on this matter was really to say that you should be concerned about anyone who moves into your complex – and to not  breathe a sigh of relief just because they have bought and are owners.  Not necessarily so.  You can't be complacent just because someone has paid a large sum of money to live there!

    I cannot recall if I have told this story before – I was dealing with a tradesman quoting for some work in this complex.  He asked if there was housing commission places here.  I asked him why.  He replied because of the state/presentation of some of the places.  Interested I asked him to point out which places he thought were housing commission and which ones owner occupier.  He pointed to owner occupier units as being housing commission and those with tenants as being owners. 

    The best residents we have ever had here were renters.  They took pride in their home and the complex as well.  They wanted the place to look good for their family and friends as well as for their fellow neighbours.  We should all take such care of our homes – regardless of our “situations”.
