WA government promises to step in amid construction crisis

These are just a few faces who say they're logged in and never ending builds with niche living now pleading for help and I'm financially ruined because of this. They promise you so much but give you nothing in return. It's like a revolving door niche. I mean I think my last count was 9 site supervisors. Goodness knows how many building managers, customers of Wye's biggest medium sized property developer, were promised a home. But year after year still have nothing. So I'm living the happy life in a camper trailer with two teenagers. It's no heating, no air conditioning. Kathleen and Jim Clark started building their retirement dream home in Dalkeith in 2020, The couple cutting ties with Niche Living out of pocket almost $1 million. I'm calling it a deconstruction at the moment. It's very disappointing to not be able to have the things that you were promised. The opposition leader taking their fight to Parliament. This is a dire situation for people who are caught in a stalemate nation. This isn't one or two people, this is hundreds of people. I did write to Sue Ellery pleading for help in November last year. She wrote back to me and told me to call Lifeline if I need help. So I rang Lifeline. I still need help. Even local investor Anna Mustard, who's trying to make money, is counting his losses for me. You know I'm I'm losing money every day. There's nobody in it. 9 News tried to speak Tanisha Living's managing director Ronnie Mikhail Elhash today, but were escorted off the premises instead. The company giving this statement saying that it is committed to delivering all of the bills. And calling on the state government to do more. Also waiting to see the boss were more disgruntled customers demanding answers. So today we're hoping to be able to speak to Ronnie and find out what the hell is going on. We need something done, we can't do it any longer. Many at the end of their tether, but Mr. Michael Ilhaj continues to deny the company is in any financial distress. What we do know is that he's a singer. And owns a number of publicly listed properties across Perth. Including these Applecross home and these under construction Dalkeith and Como units. His customers tonight still searching for a solution. And they promised me that they would get back on top of it. Don't worry about it. Everything will be fine. And then they don't answer any emails. They don't answer phone calls. Rachel Clifford 9 news.
