A local man has lashed out this morning after it became increasingly apparent to him that he’d have to cover another mortgage repayment out of his own pocket.
A pair of Irish blokes lived in Glenn Davidson’s two-bedroom Betoota Heights apartment up until Feburary when they decided to head home before COVID-19 really started to kick off.
It’s been empty ever since.
And that’s put a fire in Glenn’s belly, as he told our reporter’s today outside the apartment block.
“Guess what? Now the property is worth less than the mortgage on it!” he yelled just a bit too loud.
“And I can’t find anybody to rent it. These useless fucking real estate agents couldn’t lease a Subaru to a wealthy 60-year-old woman!”
“This apartment is literally costing me thousands of dollars a month! It’s making me exactly zero dollars in income! How did this happen? Why is this happening to me? I asked the bank for help and they pretty much laughed at me. The bank manager even got up on his desk and brown-eyed me!”
“It’s appalling.”
When asked what he wanted from our reporter, the banks and the renters of the greater Betoota area, Mr Davidson said he wanted pity and understanding.
More to come.
