Public Warning: Monster on the loose…

A young man has contacted Bad Landlord Australia wanting to warn others of a predator targeting international students. His real name is Phillip but he goes by the pseudonym Richard Puller. This man lives in St Kilda, Victoria.

Misaki, a young student from Japan, found an advertisement on Gumtree for a cheap furnished room on Barkly Street. This is not her real name. Misaki moved in but managed to escape after four days with the help of concerned friends.
Misaki was cluey enough to tape some of the conversations with Phillip. I have listened to the recordings but I am unable to publish them because it is prohibited in Victoria. Victoria Police and Consumer Affairs Victoria have been notified.
It is very difficult listening to the recordings. It is truly disturbing stuff. This sixty-year old man tries to groom Misaki telling her she is special, a princess, his special friend, and so it goes on. He offers her reduced rent for god knows what, which she refuses.
The class hallmark of a molester is keeping the abuse under wraps. He repeatedly tells her that the relationship is secret. Disturbingly, it sounds like he has done this kind of thing many times before. He refers to another Japanese girl that had stayed with him previously.
Here is an account by the white knight that rescued Misaki:

My girlfriend is from Japan. She recently had her friend come from Japan to live here in Australia. My girlfriend was helping her find a place, found this ad and took her friend to met Philip aka “Richard Puller” and they decided it was okay for her to move in (mainly because there was another Japanese girl staying there). The moment she was alone with him which was the first day, he bought her clothes and told her to get changed in front of him, he continued to be sleazy trying to kiss her saying he loves her and when she wouldn’t do things he would slam door and get angry.
Luckily Misaki recorded many conversations he had with her. The recordings are well beyond grooming, controlling sexual things that made me want to vomit. “Rent goes down if you do what I say”, “we will have a special secret friendship”, “you have nice boobs and I love you and we will have good special friendship if you don’t tell people about us” etc. Complete sexual predator! I have made a statement about this but they weren’t sure about how they could handle it, as he didn’t rape her pretty much. I immediately took Misaki away from this creep, she only stayed there for four days and already all this happened. 
The other girl living there is scared of him and hides in her room. She is leaving because of him. I told she can stay with me and my girlfriend and now Misaki just to help her escape. I have spoken to people that have heard of this man and said he always has Asian girls stay with him. Obviously he preys on WEAK scared venerable Asian women so nothing probably would have been reported. These girls cry themselves to sleep every night and then just flee home scared with this as their main memory of Australia. These girls wouldn’t go to the police you see. It makes me sick. All I pray for is that no more travelling Asian girls can walk into this trap. If this man is not stopped it will definitely end in rape.
The difficulty is that the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 does not deal with situations like this. Anyone can become a landlord, there are no restrictions. To protect vulnerable people, property owners should have to apply to the regulator to rent out their place. We need to safeguard the public.
