Guys,
It doesn't really matter if 'YOU KNOW HIM PERSONALLY' or not.
I'll have to agree with 'YO!' big time. You nailed it man! If Mr. Tamang is a millionaire 'socialist' who likes to help Nepalese students and those who don't have job then build a hostel and accomodate these people according to law. Charge them less than what other Aussie landlords do. It seems like he already has a restaurant business and 3 houses. So, he is not going to be losing any money.
I appreciate what he was trying to do but putting 48 people in 6 bedroom house is not considered 'helping'. He said that he is charging $250 for 30 people, out of 48. 18 people are living for free? That's too good to be true. Not to mention, why those 30 people who pay their share of rent have to live in a situaion where their health is in jeopary? So, Call me mean or whatever the heck you want to call me, but the Ocean City situation for summer job doesn't justify the situation here. Millionaire guy with 3 houses and a business can do a lot better than this. Don't you think ?
"Rajendva KC, 27, who is studying film, said he had lived at one of the houses for seven months and even though it was crowded at times, it was what they were used to in Nepal."
Not a good excuse. In fact, it makes us look even worse!
As 'bathroomcoffee' said, you break the law you pay the price.
Tisa, you are right too. There is a diff. between Nepal and Australia.
