I have some good (ish/doubled sided) news now. My family support worker has been in contact with a tenancy organisation and apparently I have a really good case to take as far as I want. It's so good given the context and some real estate emails for evidence, that I'd have advocacy beyond me (I'm decent at advocating for myself I just get super scared) and my support worker, as a big organisation will help if we need. They even suggested an ivo against the owners (I'd never do that) as it's that not OK. It's a strange world when things are so not OK that it's good for you
😏😑 Scramble.
I then took a big breath and asked my support worker to start the process. It's a big risk, a huge risk really, but an important one for a few reasons - it will set a very clear message about what's and not OK to bully owners and agents, plus I wouldn't be able to sit comfortably with myself if I didn't take a stand against this. It's not right for people with power over others to use that power irresponsibly or to gain more power. I don't think so anyway.
So that's that. I really didn't need this on my plate but it feels good to be doing something about it at least.
@Maggie I was so fired up about it all I took it out on the house. It's very ready for people now, including having the yard mowed for sprinker and icy poles with a puppy after school. My avoidance left when volcano took over - plus side of having a volcano inside
😉 I've been thinking of you lots with this decision of whether to fight or not. Just wanted to say that ❤
