Through the Ruth - A Podcast where we get to the heart of home

In this episode we discuss the philosophy of how homes shape who we are, who we want to be and who we used to be. 

We can look back at memories and know we are not the same person as we were when we lived there. 

We would now make different choices, and sometimes we wouldn't change a thing. 

If only walks could talk hey, imagine the versions of people that resided there before and after you AND who are now different to who they were too at that time.  That version of all those people no longer exists. 

Fascinating.   

Thank you for joining me again, in my journey to find get to the heart of home. 

xoxo Ruth.

Thank you for joining me in another episode of Through The Ruth.

In this episode we think about what happens to us when we shift. 

Its not just physical, but especially mental.  

Its thinking of memories but allowing ourselves to prepare for more. 

And just like we change our homes, we change who we are too and who we want to be for the future. 

xoxo Ruth.

In this episode we stop to consider what we all have to be thankful about. 

What makes our memories? When we are always looking ahead, and expecting everything to be done yesterday, what happens around us that we so easily dismiss that will one day be a memory we may look back on and appreciate - wishing we had been more 'present' at that time. 

Home is as much an emotion as it is physical. 

Being present is half the challenge.

Welcome home!

In this episode we discuss when trust falls. 

Can we get it back? What will that look like?

Do we remedy or do we part ways.  Not all tenancies are meant to be long term. 

BUT what if you want the tenancy relationship to be long term, what can YOU do to make it a success?

I hope you enjoy this episode, and feel free to email me if you have a topic you want covered; [email protected]

Have you ever wondered why some have long term tenants and others turn them over every year?

Why do your friends always get their lease renewed but you don't seem able to retain one?

Perhaps you just don't seem to feel the system is fair. 

In this episode we cover the key factors to longevity in a rental, and this is from both sides. 

No one wants to live in a home where they are treated rudely, where they are made to feel second class all AND owners don't want to be made to feel like they are money hungry bad people when they need to meet the costs to retain the property. 

RESPECT is something that can be a game changer. 

Thanks for listening to another episode of Through the Ruth with me, if you have a topic you think I should cover, please flick me an email: [email protected] or go over to our website www.thepmboutique.com.au 

Thanks again,

Ruth. 

This episode focuses on the topics we sometimes have to have, but are also the hardest to have. 

The topics where you might need to let the owner know the rent will be late this week, or where an owner might need to increase the rent, or perhaps you need to chase up reported maintenance or have to let the tenant know there is going to be a delay caused by tradespeople. 

You see, the relationship between an owner and a tenant, even when through a professional, can be hard to have. 

As humans, we tend to want to put off the hard topics, but delaying them can make it even harder. Being a tenant isn't easy AND being a Landlord isn't easy.

Only with clear communication and putting 'cards on the table' can we give clarity, transparency and respect which builds trust.  A hard conversation is rarely because of spite or anger. 

I hope to open the channels of communication to avoid disrespect or elongation of a hard topic, showing you that it can be done easier for both parties. 

Thank you for joining me for another episode, and apologies it is a little late this week!

Warm regards, 

Ruth 

What happens when communication becomes non-existent? There is no communication, literally. And when there is no communication, both sides assume the worst of the other. 

So what can be done to avoid this from happening in the first place? it all starts with listening to the other in order for us to have an understanding of what's going on. 

With understanding comes respect.  This is the pillar of stability for both sides. 

A good Property Manager will encourage and maintain communication with both sides to ensure longevity and stability on both sides.

We all have that one room we avoid. 

Usually only opening when we desperately need something we threw in there long ago, or to add to its pile.

It might be a room, or for some it might be that kitchen table starting to pile up. 

For me, its both the main bedroom and the linen press.  Both are never where I wish they would be in organisation and even cleanliness. 

So is everyone to the same?

What if those spaces were saying something about us rather than the items actually in there.

Have you ever made judgement on someone the moment you rocked up to their house?

What do you think of a home with 6 cars on the lawn compared to the neighbouring home that has a precision cut English Garden?

In this episode, we dig a little deeper not only on our own judgements made, but what people might think of our own Front Yard. 

A friendly little reminder to get out there and do something.  Make one little change.  Effort doesn't have to mean cost, just time.  And getting outside might be just the thing you need. 

So grab yourself a fresh brew and sit down for another episode of Through The Ruth. 

Ruth xoxo
