YOU ARE IN DANGER  
NO ONE IS PROTECTING YOU  
NO ONE IS ADVISING YOU
   
BE AWARE HOUSING WILL VISIT YOUR HOME AND SAY NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING (PROBABLY THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY) BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE THEY WILL CLAIM IT WAS IN SUCH A SHOCKING CONDITION IT COST THEM THOUSANDS TO FIX IT - AND DEMAND YOU  PAY FOR IT!

PROTECT YOURSELF! ASK THEM TO VISIT YOUR HOME TODAY AND QUOTE  THE COST TO YOU IF YOU LEAVE TODAY!

MAKE THEM GIVE CONSTANTLY  UPDATED QUOTES!
THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU!
THEY MAKE UNSUBSTANTIATED CHARGES
 THEY PAY EXORBITANT COSTS FOR WORK.

THEY INTEND TO MAKE FREE WITH YOUR MONEY!

We were tenants of Territory  Housing in Katherine.  Myself, my wife, our two children. For  about two years.  Nearly eighteen months in the second place.

   We moved out in January 2007 and our bond money - more than $600 - was retained and a further invoice for some $1500 was issued to us.

     This with no communication with us whatever.  None whatever.
     No warning, no chance to do anything about it, nothing.
     This in the absence of the written requirements to allow the retaining of bond.
     This despite the fact  that we'd always been good and careful tenants and had left the place in a normal sort of condition.

     We will take this matter to Court if necessary. We intend to recover our Bond Money and we intend to see that Housing Katherine stops behaving in this manner.
