Straight up harass them. I had one once that wanted to take $20 for a new battery for the roller door.
Contested that because they both worked, literally offered to meet the property manager with a new battery to proove it didn’t work. Called her multiple times, emails and all sorts. They just dropped it and gave me my full bond back.
You’ll have to sign something before you get any bond money released, even if it’s to say you are getting nothing back . Hope that helps. Try emailing and calling to chase it up, they can’t legally use that money for repairs until you sign off I’m pretty sure , check your junk folder
Op call Consumer Protection and ask them about putting in a complaint about this.
Consumer Protection will probably then call your agency and you’ll have your bond back within 24 hours of your call.
Cleaning cupboards and deep cleaning some stained carpets mainly. Also just general cleaning
Yeah I had that, "You shouldn't have left the red bin full! We'll have to charge you to send a contractor round to empty that!"
Dude, it's bin day in two days, and you already told me the next occupier (who was the owner) isn't moving in for two weeks. I am not paying for your contractor to go and collect the rubbish or taking the rubbish to the local tip on my time at my expense.
Thankfully they didn't push it.
Love that. How much did they propose to charge for putting the bin on the verge on bin night?
Yea I'm not sure. I moved in to replace someone else on the lease. So not sure if the bond was lodged. But it's illegal not too right? It also changed real estate agents later on in the lease as the owner sold the house
>We'll have to charge you to send a contractor round to empty that!"
>Thankfully they didn't push it.
They legally have to mitigate loss. Sending a contractor to put the bin out isn't defensible or collectable.
It's shit talking.
Edit: fuck off REAs, you're a bunch of dumb shits and this is why I got my bond back. Get a real job.
Wait who did you give the bond money to?
Well I didn't give the bond money to anyone. I took a friend's place on the lease and the rea already had the bond from when they moved in originally
So your friend needs to release the bond unless you lodged a variation. Also why should you get your friends bond?
Then you aren’t entitled to the bond, it gets returned to the person who paid it.
I'm just trying to get it released as I have been the main contact with rea. Not tryna take the money for myself. Never said I was
Well your friend needs to sort it out since they has to sign the release.
Not your problem mate, move on. Its not under your name, not sure you understand how Bonds work.
You said never said it was for you, you never said it wasn't for you!
I understand you want to help but this is too far gone for that.
Just doing it cause my name was on the lease.
You never said you aren't gonna murder someone, but I won't assume you are. I know it's just Reddit and people wanna be angry though
You're a good friend
The determinant of any 2 × 2 matrix is ad − bc. The
determinant of \[ (x-2) 2
7 (x+3) \] is equal to 0. What are all possible
values of x?
F. −1 and 9
G. −3 and 2
H. −4 and 5
J. −5 and 4
K. 0 only
This is a question in mcgraw hill textbook conquering act math and science. Mcgraw hill claims the answer is H.
Am I really tripping very badly right now or is the expansion of (x-2)(x+3) = x\^2 - x - 6? That's what mcgraw hill said.
The expansion of (x-2)(x+3) is x^2+x-6. Therefore: ad-bc= x^2+x-20. x=4,-5.
McGraw-Hill test prep books often have mistakes…
I think this is a determinant problem? The matrix is written as a 2x2, which means there are 2 rows and 2 columns. To get the determinant, multiply the upper left value by the the lower right value, then subtract the product of the upper right by the lower left. In this case, (x-2)(x+3) - (2)(7). The problem state that the determinant =zero, so:
(x-2)(x+3) - (2)(7) = O
Try to solve from there.
x^(2) + x -6 and x^(2) +x -20 I’m not sure why it did that
going in as a public patient im wondering if anyone’s had a c section and been able to pay out of pocket for a private room so your partner can stay or if thats even a thing? ive heard once its a $500 a night fee but that was a long time ago.
I had my son at Fiona Stanley, emergency C section. All the maternity rooms are private. My husband was allowed to stay overnight, they said they let C section partners stay to help out with the baby while mum recovers. They have a padded chair thing that folds out to a bed for them. You also have your own private bathroom and a sink in the room.
Do you know which hospital you're referred to?
You could ask the hospital directly.
Reddit is generally a bit of a suboptimal source for medical information.
I went to Fiona Stanley for a planned C section with my 2nd, they put me into a room where my partner could stay overnight on a little fold out chair, private bathroom and pretty decent sized room. Had amazing midwives too. Couldn't fault anything
Public doesn’t permit partners to stay past visiting hours.
You’ll need to go Private if this is something you want.
You need to ask your specific hospital. Typically, if you are a public patient, the answer is no. If you are a private patient in a public hospital, it is possible in some hospitals. Private hospital, the answer is yes, they can stay as a boarder - either paid by you or by your health fund, depending on your covern
You can't pay for a private room in the public system. Private rooms are provided based on individual patient needs and availability. If you absolutely must have a private room then you need to go private.
Just had our second baby at a public hospital recently, I could stay the night if I wanted to as the Dad. First baby was during covid times, so they were very strict on visiting hours then. They didn't really care this time and even offered me plenty of snacks, drinks etc.
Had a planned c section as a public patient. Husband wasn't allowed to be there for nights. the nurses helped and changed my baby's nappy n all on day 1. Day 2 onwards , I was expected to move n do it on my own. My husband helped during the day, but at night, I was on my own. You can ring the bell, and the nurse will come to help you. However, I noticed most of them would take 5 to 7 minutes to come. I was thinking there are a lot of patients, and they are doing their best and trying to stay strong and it myself, but it's a lot of pain.
I just had a baby in Joondalup 8 weeks ago. Public side, own room and partner could stay.
It’s not a thing in public hospitals. Partners can’t stay and you can’t buy your way in.
Personally, Id just go private if you’re already willing to pay for a private room. I gave birth at Rockingham and my husband was allowed to stay in the birthing suite as long as he liked but once they moved me to a shared room then he had to go and come back during visiting times, I didnt mind cause it was midnight by that time and I’d just laboured for 48hrs so I was fkn tired haha.
This time Im going to FSH and have been told theyre mostly private rooms with a couple shared and I think it just depends on whats available when you give birth (although I think public you’d get prioritised for a private room if you’ve had a c-sec) If you’re near that general area though, SJOG is right behind FSH and private.
Had my daughter at SJOG ( private) I had complications were I stayed for the week, my husband had his own bed in a double room and 24 hour room service.
I had my 2 kids public at Joondalup and got zero sleep. My husband technically couldn’t stay but no one was chasing him out. I stayed 5 nights with my first and was so sleep deprived I couldn’t speak or think coherently. My husband went home and got decent sleep so at least one of us could follow instructions haha.
All the maternity rooms at Joondalup are
private. There is no bed for the partners but I think there are lounge chairs but no guarantee they are available. I had c-section there for my second and there wasn’t a chair/bed for husband (but he needed to go home to the toddler anyway).
I’ve had two c sections in a public hospital and have had a private room both times. Partners can’t stay in public. They can visit during the allocated visiting hours but have to leave after that. You’d have to go private.
Going into a punlic hospital as a private patient does not necessarily guarantee a private room. They'll accommodate the dying and contagious people in single rooms first.
If you go in for a c-section, they will try to place you in a single room so someone (partner/relative/friend) can stay in the room with you to help you with the baby. It takes several hours for your epi/spinal to wear off, and you won't be able to pick them up or put them down those first few hours. It took my partner 16 hours for hers to wear off before she could even feel her legs.
I couldn't stay the first night as she was in a shared room and not enough space. (Partner took great joy and pressing the call button all hours of the night). The second day she was moved to a single room and I stayed for the next two nights.
When I gave birth at KEMH, I got told that no one was allowed to stay with me as not everyone has such a good partner as mine. And I thought yeah some fdv situations etc. I wouldn’t want their partners staying on the same ward as me. So I guess it’s easier to just say no to everyone. Even though he was sad to leave us at the end of visiting hours, my partner was happy to be home in our own bed, and had a great night sleep before he came back to help me with bubs, and let me rest note during the day. I had a private room. Very happy for it, but didn’t ask for one.
so which private hospitals allow partners to stay, only joondalup?
I came from a regional area to Perth to have a c section for complex birth not possible in country hospital. Even though we were covered by PATS and the c section was a critical service to save me and my child’s life, my partner was not accommodated at the hospital and he wasn’t eligible for funding to even stay near by
Had my first at KEMH and got a private room with my 3wk preemie but hubby couldn't stay. Had second at Kaleeya 6 wks prem and had to share with a lady who was having her 5th and her hubby and kids were there all freaking day every damn day....
Before they closed King Edward, I had 2 c sections as a public patient.
Both times my husband was in the operating room with me.
The only problem was that in recovery I was not allowed to have the baby with me, so it affected bonding. For the second c section I had a friend who was a nurse and she voluntarily stayed with me in recovery so I could have my baby stay with me
[deleted]
All maternity wards in public hospitals have private rooms and having a c-section means you’re getting a private room
I don’t have any info regarding the husband staying the night sorry. I’ve only stayed overnight in a hospital when my at-the-time 3 month old was admitted and I was still breastfeeding him.
As people have said, partner can't stay in a public hospital past a certain time.
I had my first baby at King Eddies, i was given a private room (I don't know why they just gave me one, but I was told if there is one available they'll give you one). I had my second at SJOG but we had a toddler at home by then so my partner went home to look after him. But even if he could stay I don't think it would have been a good idea. Much better for at least one parent to go home and get a decent sleep and be able to deal with driving home from hospital and looking after you than both of you having terrible interrupted hospital sleeps.
You're going in as a c section patient... Out of curiosity - On what grounds are you looking for your partner to board? A lot of one eyed readers get upset that their husbands aren't allowed to stay the night... For example KEMH is a women's and newborns hospital. That hospital looks after women's health. Some aspects of women's health are childbirth... Some aspects of health are much less fun and sunshine based.. and aren't appropriate for men to be around. As such, generally speaking... Men aren't allowed for a sleepover at the KEMH hospital. Allowances are given under certain circumstances of course for boarders and that's a case by case basis, such as documented anxiety/ high dependency/ geographical location etc. Outstaying visiting hours is at discretion of the ward staff (for example you were admitted 0630 but due to unforeseen emergencies delaying your birth you don't give birth until 6pm sand your partner needs to get you set up in the room etc but that night you'll want him to go home probably.
There is no out of pocket "private" option at a public hospital. Just for your own knowledge btw, "private Vs public" is just the funding source for the hospital. If you're concerned about being in a mixed patient room, dont be. It'll be single patient room.
You get admitted early morning of the birth then visit hours end at 8pm, he can visit from 8am -8pm next day
Damn they kicked my partner out but the nurses were very helpful over night for me, so I didn't feel too overwhelmed.
I had mine at FSH (not C section) I don't think the rooms on the maternity ward are all private. I was in a room with capacity for two patients & their babies. Lucky for me I was in it on my own but could have been sharing with curtains around the beds.
OP, as others have said, I don't think you can pay for a private room while going public for all other services. Personally I would call the hospital or have a chat at my midwife appointment and see where you end up.
Wow that would've been nice, they gave me no options & kicked my partner out and said visiting hours were over when I was only 6 hours post c-section.
Was put in a shared room with another mum and new bub and told they didn't really do private rooms. I received very little care or help feeding/changing sometimes took 15-20 mins for them to respond to my call button for feeds/changes. That was just over 2 years ago.
It doesn’t fold out to a bed, it folds out to 2 padded pillows with a void for back pain in the middle
Possibly the most uncomfortable sleep I’ve ever had and I’m a good sleeper
Wife gave birth at FSH last year and I was allowed overnight in the actual birthing room in as you said a fold out chair. Once bub was safely here and Wife was moved out of the birthing room normal visitation hours kicked in but I was also allowed to say until about 10PM and the midwives didn't care.
Plus you'll only be staying the absolute minimum of nights at a public hospital anyway. If you want the whole "few days to acclimatise to parenthood" thing, you'll need to go to a private hospital.
Joondalup lets partners stay overnight but they only have reclining chairs to sleep in unfortunately.
Not necessarily, my partner stayed at both KEMH and Joondalup, private room, public patient, no additional charge.
Not necessarily true, I stayed over night in the birthing suite and then the one night in the ward in March at FSH
i know im asking if you can pay out of pocket for a private room
This is not true. At least some public hospitals do let partners stay (source: gave birth in a public hospital with no insurance and partner stayed).
OP should ask the hospital(s) they have available to them.
I don’t think you can buy a room though so you’re right on that!
