Very tricky to critique on a national database though what they would consider personal judgements. That and if the database exists tenants as well as landlords are able to tap into their details and request amends or even deletion as a breach of their human rights!
Maybe we should start our own list – one for bad landlords and one for bad tenants. Could be a good way to go but not entirely sure of the legality of it all!!
I think the best thing is to never take your PM’s word without challenging it – plenty of bad one’s out there. In reality I think I’ve had more bad property managers than I’ve had bad tenants.
And besides – since when do we actively listen to reports on Today Tonight as being true?! It’s a ratings show – not a cutting edge documentary…
Good points Troodyg and as you we’re well aware of the guidelines which is why these guy’s are great – they play within the boundaries enough to make things stand out without overstepping the mark. And it doesn’t say you can’t remove cars from the street or clutter from the kitchen worktops! – just so long as you don’t physically alter the property in any way (i.e removing lightshades and electrical outlets would be a big no no!)
In the states the rules are again different. I still stand by these guys and the work they’ve done for us – and even just their colour retouching is worth it, we all know the colours digital cameras output are never near the actual representation – that in itself is a crime! And as for representation – we all know the rules about ‘over selling features’ this is in the same ball park!
Good to see some productive comments though Troodyg
