    I don’t have contact details for the owner, but discovered by accident that the 6 degrees of separation rule applies and we have a mutual friend. Facebook can be a good thing sometimes. However, I do not want to involve my friend in something that does not concern them.

    I mentioned that to the rental agent and her reaction was to say that I was threatening her and that she would discuss it with the owner, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Maybe the rental agent is not very bright as well as lying and lazy.

    And I have been clinging to the “calm and informative” approach, notwithstanding the urge to be otherwise.

    But will investigate the Fair Trading option. I thought of NCAT but that is a bit like using a sledgehammer to kill an ant. Whatever happens, we won’t be renewing the lease in September and I am looking at what it would cost to break the lease.

    It would be a pity to leave early but the rental agent seems unable to take any responsibility. 

    I appreciate the feedback

    Many thanks
