OK re green bin, can she chuck the smaller prunings in the ordinary garbage bin? Most people around here do that, then it doesn't pile up

Is the Au or Vic government giving any extra financial help to those folk who are self employed?

Financial help for renters would be good.

The landlords are already getting mortgage payments deferred by the bank, but I bet they still want their rents.

Yes , rent assistance for the newly corona-unemployed or under-employed ! ( Also Mortgage assistance )

Not sure about elsewhere, but here the green bins cost us about $200 a year, which is added to the council rates.

I know it can be hard, but I always paid my rent, and later house payment before anything else; after my car accident I was sometimes living on 2minute noodles with bit of parsley or carrot for weeks on end.   The people who own the house are not always rolling in $, they may be counting on the rent money for their mortgage or whatever.

I agree, it IS important to pay your rent on time and pay the correct amount ....... The landlord may not be able to take the tenant to a tribunal BUT they can refuse to  renew your lease   ......

After the last tenant the landlord had, my daughter is a gem.

They turned the place into a dump and did a 'runner' with 3 months rent owing.

She agreed to pay over and above the rent in the first place to secure the property.

If she's paying more than was asked, surely some leniency is not too hard.

After all, the landlord is getting deferred mortgage payments.

He hasn't had a problem with the lease so far.

Also, I think the real estate agent is the one stirring the pot.

The go-between is always the problem.

Daughter had to put her youngest into high school this year. 

That's what's put her so far behind.

It cost more than a month's rent for new uniform, fees and a new school laptop.

As it is, the poor kid only has one set of uniform to wear.  He should have a spare.

And he's growing like a weed - will need new everything soon.

I do what I can, but can't support her financially.

Kazumi,  you can't feed kids just 2 minute noodles for weeks

Any more judgements, folks?

P.S.  The green bin here is $30 annually.

She offered to pay, but he still hasn't done anything about it in 2 years.

i said on another thread

be careful what you say as but for the grace of *** go you (i)

i would not want to be in the rental market and on low  income.

living from week to week having to decide can i buy that?

i'm not rich and i cant just get what i want at the drop of a hat, but i have some savings, enough to cover most sudden problems.

i could buy a new fridge or a new washing mackine ect if i needed to.

a car would be more difficult hence i have full market value cover.

not that market value would get me another car in the same condition.
