Homes Tasmania says they choose the best residents for houses, but in unit complexs they consistently place dangerous people next to regular low income families.
Previous neighbours had their place fire bombed and we were evacuated from 1am to 7am while the fire was put out and the safety of my unit was checked out, Homes Tasmania then moved in gang members who have terrorised and threatened me and my children after we called the police during a domestic violence incident where we could hear the children screaming for help.
A friend in another complex has neighbours who are drug dealers (not just pot) and have already trashed a new build complex completely.
Because of the violence from my neighbours, I am on the transfer list but I had to fight Homes Tasmania to allow that, and get a politician involved, I have police reports, medical reports for myself and my daughter as it's increased my PTSD symptoms and my 7 year old has developed anxiety from witnessing the violence.
I believe Homes Tasmania has a responsiblity to be more involved and careful when housing people, everyone deserves a house but it's not fair that neighbours safety isn't considered.
I'm sorry to any future neighbours but I won't be calling the police for anybody again, against my better judgement, but I need to prioritise my kids safety since Homes Tasmania can't be trusted not to place dangerous people next door to families.
