HPCbeliever Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 We rent our property with a young child (so it is already as a family). We are soon to have another baby. Do I have any obligation to tell the landlord? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have any obligation to tell the landlord? The only reason I can think of would be if it meant you were statutorily overcrowded in terms of square footage per person. Unlikely unless it's a studio flat - even a one-bed plus living room would be OK unless one of the rooms was tiny.

Y-QUERK Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I believe the correct etiquette is to sacrifice the child, and hand over the beating heart on a silver plate to the Landlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMX9 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Is he the father? One way of paying the rent I suppose. I think the answer though is no - but you might want to tell your neighbours to give them notice to move out before they have to listen to your screaming baby at 3am!

I watched Eraserhead last night and that sentence has taken on a whole new meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely unless it's a studio flat - even a one-bed plus living room would be OK unless one of the rooms was tiny. And even if you were overcrowded, I don't think there's anything anybody could do about it until your AST runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Henson Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I watched Eraserhead last night and that sentence has taken on a whole new meaning. I last watched that film at college (over 20 years ago now) with the assitance of some Lysergic Acid which was not such a good idea but it seemed like fun at the time. It left me in a bit of a state, haven't dared to watch it since. Oh the reckless things we do in our Youth!!!!

Gigantic Purple Slug Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 We did. We got a bunch of flowers and a Mothercare voucher. Those b*stard landlords. Have you considered the small claims court ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernoid Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Funny replies! I wouldn't tell them, they'll put the rent up thinking you won't want the hassle of moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
