That mold is load-bearing.

They bothered to paint over the mold?

Nah, it's white or beige or some shit

Same in my neck of the woods.

My sister's apartment has a patch in the ceiling that's literally cardboard boxes from the local hardware store. And literally holes that were cut in the walls for repairs of wires and pipes that were never covered after they were done. And best of all: her bathroom has never had a door on it. The previous tenant (allegedly) tore it off and the landlord has been saying that they'll replace it at the first of the month for 3 years now.

Come on, you gotta at least use some primer first. Kilz that shit so you seal in all the mold. Then it's forced to become structural, and in a few years you can use your well trained mold to grow extensions to your units!

Renter’s rights in Australia is way behind, it needs to get up to speed soon because no one can afford houses.

I’ll never again put up with rental agents walking through my home every quarter taking photos

Tenant rights in Germany are amazing (comparatively) and there is still renter associations (Mieterverein) because landlords are scum sucking parasites who will knowingly do illegal things to tenants.

Straight up, hiding issues with a rental property should be punishable by barring the landlord from owning any property. Y'know, so long as we're not abolishing property ownership, seems fair.

Australia must be a miserable place to live in 🤮🤮🤮

I just don't get it. How folks can do this to others. I myself couldn't. I couldn't half ass or no ass a job and let someone else deal with the consequences of my actions.

That paint should be white and it should be on everything. Walls, trim, light switches & outlet covers. To hell with painters tape.

Here it's the tenants obligation. Normally mould is a defective of the real estate but landlords parrot "incorrectly ventilated" and would sue for damages. So tenants do just this.
