What cheeses me off

If I'm not mistaken I get that code in phone Notifications so no need to open Commbank App.

The notification says open the App to get the code.

until we find a play to rent?

I thought you found a place??
What's "affordable" 400/week?

Have not found one yet. Up to $600/week is reasonable and affordable but competition is tough.

We went to inspection on Saturday lunch time. About 15 people there $600/week. Nice place ticks most boxes. Applied. Notified this morning that our application has been rejected. Why? I call them. They had 4 applications previously with owner but chose to open for inspection again giving false hope to people looking. Owner has chosen one of original applicants.

The arrogance of this industry is astonishing.

We also applied for another on Saturday morning. This one looks OK and only $550/week. Only 4 people at inspection. Application has been sent to owner and now waiting for decision. Available 4 weeks after we are meant to move out so now need to try and negotiate extension on current lease.

It's tough out there. And by the way I went outside of Toowong area to look. Same issue there. Lots of people looking and not enough properties.

Best of luck! No doubt this is all stress you don't need.

Good luck John K — its a stressful process to find and then the hassle of the move. Hope you get somewhere soon

Thanks but for now not holding breath.

Just had an SMS to inspect an apartment in Auchenflower. Strange. I inspected Thursday and applied same day and I know they are processing our application. There were 25 people at the inspection + another one online.

I called agent. There's nothing wrong with our application but the owner wants more people to inspect so they can get a better feel for the market? Seriously?

I take this as another application rejected.
