A disgruntled tenant has shared their upset after receiving what they described an \u201cextremely f***ing rude\u201d email from their real estate agent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The email, shared by the tenant to social media on Thursday, was sent to warn the owner of the rental would be conducting an inspection on October 18 between 9am and 12pm.<\/p>\n

The \u201cextremely f****ing rude\u201d part was the inclusion of several concerns the agent requested the tenant address ahead of the scheduled visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the inspection, we noted that the bedrooms are untidy, clothes on the floor, spiderweb near the balcony doors, the bathroom and shower area can be cleaner,\u201d part of the email read.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would suggest to tidy the place so it\u2019s better to represent the owner.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tenant, understood to be renting in Sydney, said they were \u201csick of this\u201d because \u201cit is our home\u201d.<\/p>\n

While a rental owner is legally permitted to visit a property provided they give at least seven days of written notice for each visit, the list of demands was what rubbed them the wrong way.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of respondents agreed the email came off particularly abrasive, especially given it was the tenant who would be going out of their way.<\/p>\n

Some made petty suggestions on how they could handle the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cCancel on them that morning saying you \u2018have Covid-like symptoms\u2019 and if they want to visit still, just cough at every chance you get,\u201d one reply read.<\/p>\n

Another said they always made sure their rental looked \u201clived in\u201d for inspections.<\/p>\n

DISGRACE: Real estate agent\u2019s ugly spray at barista<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI purposely make sure I have some clothes laying around. It shows that the place is lived in not spotless all the time. My real estate agent said she inspections are mainly to see that there is no physical damage to the property, not if there are some clothes on the floors\/beds and some cobwebs,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is some petty sh**. A spiderweb? Ridiculous. I like my spiders, they eat the mozzies in summer,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

The tenant later shared the email they replied to the real estate agent with, in which they firmly pointed out they had not been informed the most recent visit was an inspection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for letting us know about the visit, we will make sure the property is tidy for the owner to view,\u201d the email opened with.<\/p>\n

This was the tenant\u2019s reply to the \u2018extremely rude\u2019 email.<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\u201cJust to note, as we are very busy people with a lot going on, the apartment will not always look like a display home and will at times look lived in. I would suggest checking the notes from the previous actual inspection and see that, at that time, it was immaculate,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs this visit was termed an appraisal and not an official inspection, we didn\u2019t take the time to make it aesthetically pleasing for you, and as such you caught us in between our cleaning and tidying cycles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve attached below the original email stating that it was an appraisal, not an inspection. An appraisal mind you that I had come home mid work day to let you in for.\u201d<\/p>\n
