longgone Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Ok guys i have to admit i do like a good bit of banter with landlords on gumtree. Should i feel bad negotiating discounts on long term lettings or arranging viewings and then sometimes never turning up my memory is quite bad nowadays. i mean landlordism is a stressful occupation so i feel i am doing them a service by keeping them on their toes and keeping the feel of the market at the forefront of their mind.

Wayward Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 question is whether THEY feel guilty..? and if not why not? Is it only because 'lots of other people do it'? I expect so. Food hoarding and profiteering will be next...its morally equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freki Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Well they don't since they charge below market value and add invaluable service to society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highcontrast Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I love this What questions do you ask to sound convincing, and more importantly what questions to sound convincing when negotiating discounts on long term lettings or arranging viewings?? Asking for a "friend" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a "friend" The old my friend lives in the road already and he pays and it`s a lovely road which i could afford to buy it etc etc. fake rich people love being called successful and enterprising having their bellies rubbed. multiple disruptions are quite hard to do mind you.

Calcutta Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Turn up to some viewings, ask to use the bathroom, leave a massive stinking dump in there. Maybe in the sink if you're feeling festive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the sink if you're feeling festive. Sink thing won't work. Any landlord worth their salt would just stick some twigs in the offending deposit and re-list it as having an original Damien Hirst in the bathroom. You'd be doing them a favour. Same goes for just smearing the place with your offering, but the claim would be that the crapper featured an "early mural by Chris Ofili". There is no way to defeat our landlord overlords. Accept your fate. Resistance is futile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I see an EA in the street I've taken to pointing him out to the kids and telling them that by the end of October he'll be unemployed. If only we had Foxtons round here, I could shout the latest share price at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
