Rental properties misrepresented in listings
Is anyone else finding a lot of rental properties are being misrepresented in the listings?
The description of the listing makes it sound like it's in excellent condition, and the photos are digitally altered or photos are used from when the property was new to make it look like the carpet, walls, curtains, benches, cabinetry etc is all in good condition, and then when you go there everything is run down and old.
It's such a waste of time, as if they were just honest about the condition people could actually decide whether it's worth taking time off work etc to view it.
It's even worse when they're charging the upper quartile of market rent, in which case you'd be expecting a house of a certain standard, but nope, you get there and it's just another slumlord who has done zero upkeep but expects top dollar.
Rant over.
