Melbourne

I have approval for the rental place I'm less fond of. Haven't heard anything from the one that looks 100%. And I still haven't seen either of them in person.

The one I really like is currently vacant, so I'm presuming if they were liking my application they'd be moving fairly quickly on it, so not hearing anything is not a good sign. The inspection for the other one is booked on Thursday, so there is still some time for divine intervention.

But at the moment it's looking like it will be mostly about just how deceptive the 7 year old photos are in relation to the current condition of the property, and what's in the mysterious corner that none of the photos show. The other place I can piece together all the photos and the plan to get a great overview, this one has a few missing sections that my brain is imagining terrible possibilities for. Especially in regards to the door through the laundry, which in this place would be the most used entrance. If it's a dodgy set of steps or something it's going to be a hard no. I suspect it's just not in the photos because it is utilitarian but not pretty, so that will probably be ok. But I need to work out how I'm going to manage Mr Woof's access, which can be tricky with no sliding door to put an insert in.
