Ben and Dino's home was ‘pristine'. Then the ceiling tore apart from the wall
The pair questioned whether the excavation had caused a seepage failure, meaning the ground on their side of the building's sheet piles – which provide support and water resistance – had sunk, causing their walls to detach from the ceilings. Compensation claims were lodged with the owner's insurance company, but they were refused on the basis that the gaping cracks were just normal wear and tear. Pierpoint said the 'traumatic' ordeal had forced them to spend thousands of dollars on removalists, storage units and temporary accommodation, and made them take time off work. Both are couch-surfing with friends and have no idea where they could end up next week. The housemates reached out to their landlord, NSW Fair Trading, the Inner West Council and the Building Commission, but they were told the same thing each time: that nobody had any legal responsibility to support or financially compensate them. 'The Residential Tenancies Act governs the relationship between landlords and tenants. It does not cover relationships with third parties,' a NSW Fair Trading spokesperson said in a statement to this masthead. The home owner declined to speak to the Herald. The developer next door declined to answer this masthead's questions. Pierpoint and Dimitriadis are frustrated at the lack of a clear compensation pathway for evicted tenants and said their situation highlights an obvious gap in tenancy laws. Under NSW's Residential Tenancies Act, landlords have a legal duty to provide a safe home. However, if it becomes uninhabitable and unsafe to live in, they can terminate the lease with immediate notice. This means renters such as Pierpoint and Dimitriadis are left bearing the financial burden. They want to be fairly compensated, but their only options involve pursuing a costly and complex legal fight against either their landlord or a third party who may have been responsible for the damages. Another possible pathway is for them to file a dispute at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), which is often a time-consuming and formal process with steep fees. Loading Tenants Union of NSW chief executive Leo Patterson Ross said the costs of pursuing legal action often outstrips the actual amount people seek to be compensated. 'Just a filing fee alone could start at $500, and that's before you hire a solicitor – there might be many people who wouldn't pursue it because of the high costs and risk of not being successful,' he said. Pierpoint and Dimitriadis said situations such as their own would only 'get worse and worse, unless something changes'. They have urged the government to amend tenancy laws so that renters have a safety net if they are evicted for safety reasons in situations out of their control. 'Or, forcing the landlord's insurance to cover those costs – but we all know insurance companies will do anything to not have to pay anything,' Pierpoint said. 'I'll work it out – I'm just taking it day by day. If we didn't have the financial means to move that quickly, our stuff would just be on the street. If we didn't have community and friends around us, we would actually be homeless.'

Industry Season 4: Release date buzz, cast updates and what to expect next
The Industry fandom is losing it over Season 4, and who can blame them? That jaw-dropping Season 3 finale left everyone reeling—Harper's bold move, Yasmin's messy love life, and Robert's big exit had hearts racing. With HBO greenlighting another season last September, the buzz is electric. Here's the latest scoop on when it'll hit, who's joining the cast, and what wild twists might be in store. Industry Season 4 Potential Release Date Everyone's dying to know when Industry Season 4 will land. Filming started in March 2025 across the UK and wrapped up by early August. Looking at past seasons—November 2020 for Season 1, August 2022 for Season 2, and August 2024 for Season 3—folks are betting on a 2026 premiere, maybe spring or summer. HBO's keeping quiet on an exact date, but fans on X and Reddit are already swapping theories, from early drops to frustrating delays. Keep those notifications on for HBO's next trailer—it'll spill some clues. Industry Season 4 Expected Cast Season 4's cast is a mix of old faves and bold new faces, and it's got everyone talking. The core crew is back: Myha'la killing it as Harper Stern, Marisa Abela navigating Yasmin Kara-Hanani's chaos, Ken Leung bringing Eric Tao's intensity, Sagar Radia as the wild-card Rishi Ramdani, Kit Harington as Henry Muck, and Miriam Petche as the quirky Sweetpea Golightly. But here's the gut punch: Harry Lawtey, aka Robert Spearing, won't be a regular anymore. Fans are still processing that one, but his story wrapped in a way that opens fresh paths for the show. Newcomers are shaking things up big time. Kal Penn joins as Jay Jonah Atterbury, and Charlie Heaton steps in as Jim. Then there's Kiernan Shipka, Toheeb Jimoh, Jack Farthing, Amy James-Kelly as Minister Jennifer Bevan, and Max Minghella as Whitney. With credits from Stranger Things , Ted Lasso , and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina , these additions are bound to crank up the drama. Marisa Abela even spilled that filming kicked off on St. Patrick's Day 2025—talk about a lucky start. Industry Season 4 Potential Plot Season 3 left jaws on the floor: Harper starting her own firm in New York after a shady deal, Yasmin saying 'I do' to Henry amid a media storm, and Rishi hitting rock bottom. Season 4's picking up the pieces, possibly jumping to New York or even LA as the stakes get global. No official plot details yet, but the creators are teasing deeper dives into power, betrayal, and messy personal lives. Will Harper's new hustle soar or crash? Can Yasmin handle her high-society marriage? Rishi's downfall screams redemption arc, and Eric's grip on Pierpoint feels shakier than ever. Fans are all over Reddit and X, tossing out theories like confetti—cross-country drama, new financial schemes, or gut-wrenching character clashes. With just eight episodes, every scene's gonna hit hard. Expect the same raw, edge-of-your-seat vibe that makes Industry so addictive. Industry Season 4 is shaping up to be a game-changer. The wait's brutal, but the payoff's gonna be worth it. Binge Seasons 1-3 on HBO Max to catch up, and join the hype train online for the latest leaks and theories. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Industry Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 19, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 19, 2025, 12:25 IST Industry on HBO has this knack for pulling you into the chaotic, cutthroat world of finance, where ambition and betrayal are just another day at the office. After Season 3 wrapped with a jaw-dropping finale—Pierpoint's London office shutting down, Harper jetting off to New York, and Yasmin tangled up with Sir Henry Muck—fans are itching to know what's next. HBO greenlit Season 4 faster than you can say 'stock market crash,' and with filming already underway, here's the lowdown on when it might drop, who's in the cast, and what kind of drama we're in for. Industry Season 4 Potential Release Date No official premiere date has been announced, but let's piece together what we know. Filming kicked off in the UK in March 2025, per Deadline . If we look at the show's track record, Season 2 hit screens in August 2022, and Season 3 followed in August 2024—roughly a two-year gap. That puts us in the ballpark of late 2025 or early 2026 for Season 4. Some outlets, like Glamour , are betting on a spring or summer 2026 release, assuming production stays on track. Industry Season 4 Expected Cast The Industry cast is like a revolving door of talent, and Season 4 is no exception. We've got returning heavyweights, some shiny new faces, and one big goodbye that's got fans buzzing. Returning Favorites Myha'la as Harper Stern Marisa Abela as Yasmin Kara-Hanani Ken Leung as Eric Tao Kit Harington as Sir Henry Muck Sagar Radia as Rishi Ramdani Miriam Petche as Sweetpea Fresh Faces Season 4 is stacking the deck with some serious star power, and the new characters sound like they'll shake things up: Max Minghella as Whitney Halberstram Kiernan Shipka as Hayley Clay Kal Penn as Jay Jonah Atterbury Charlie Heaton as Jim Dycker Claire Forlani as Cordelia Hanani-Spyrka Toheeb Jimoh as Kwabena Bannerman Amy James-Kelly as Jennifer Bevan Jack Farthing as Edward Smith Industry Season 4 Potential Plot The Industry team is keeping plot details locked up tighter than a bank vault, but creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay have dropped some hints. In a Deadline chat, Down said they're channeling Michael Clayton vibes, aiming for a corporate thriller that weaves together finance, politics, and media. What to Expect Pierpoint's Fallout : With Pierpoint's London office kaput, the gang's scattered. Harper's in New York, Yasmin's playing high-society wife, and Eric's… well, being Eric. Season 4 will likely follow their new gigs and grudges. : With Pierpoint's London office kaput, the gang's scattered.

Our money's on more shade-throwing. : Their friendship took a beating in Season 3. Will they patch things up or go full-on frenemies in New York? Our money's on more shade-throwing. Rishi's Chaos: His gambling addiction's a ticking time bomb. I'm betting it'll blow up in spectacular fashion. Industry has always been unflinching in its exploration of ambition, class, and morality, and Season 4 promises to double down on these themes. Down told ELLE that the season will focus on 'money and class,' suggesting a continuation of the show's gritty, character-driven storytelling. Expect more shocking betrayals, steamy encounters, and high-stakes deals, all wrapped in the show's signature blend of drama and dark humour.
