[Photos] Water damage, cloque on the ceiling, mold … His dream house turns out to be a slum

A Laval family has three days to get back after finding the house they had rented for the 1^is July in a pitiful state.

“It didn’t look like that at all when you visited,” sobs Assa Robalo, going around the owner Journal.

“I would call it a slum. It looks like the accommodation has been squatted so it is in pitiful condition. We cannot live here with the children, ”drops the one who was to move on Friday with her husband and their four children.

However, the family was impatiently awaiting 1^is July, thinking of improving its living conditions by renting the bungalow at $ 2,300 per month, in Laval.

It is $ 800 more than its current accommodation, which has a less room.

Water damage

“It’s horrible”, drop m^me Robalo when entering the living room where a strong smell of withdrawal emerges.

The former occupants left several of their furniture, including the refrigerator full of food and their microwave in a lamentable state, noted The newspaper.

The oven hood is covered with rust and mold.

But the worst is in the basement. M^me Robalo maintains that at his arrival, the tap at the entrance to the washer flowed. She notified the owner, who cut the water into the house.

The place is nothing like the photos of the announcement that The newspaper consulted.

“I have the impression that there has been a water damage since we visited in April,” she speculates, showing behind the scenes on the walls of the rooms that her children had to occupy, visibly disappointed.

On the ceiling of one of them, a blister is about to burst.

Abandoned furniture

By the way of Journala heap of old furniture and garbage was enthroned in front of the house, as well as an impressive pile of old shoes on the front balcony.

In the rear courtyard, the swimming pool of the former occupants lay ripped on an old carpet.

Even if she has to leave her current accommodation on July 5, M^me Robalo is categorical. She wants to terminate her new lease.

She prefers to find a new place to live rather than stay in a house in this state.

Joined on the phone, the owner Garbis Taghdoirnian argued that he would meet her on Wednesday evening to find a solution.

“It is not our fault if the former tenants left the property in this state,” he said, before adding that he did not want to discuss more.
