RichM Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Our landlady had an EA round recently to value the flat. We were away for the week. A picture had been held to the fridge by my HPC.co.uk fridge magnet. The picture was moved to the notice board, and the magnet - gone. I'm hoping my wife has inadvertently mislaid it, but if those illigimates have taken my fridge magnet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try asking your landlady where the fridge magnet is....if she doesn't know then politely suggest that she is liable for its loss and that you expect it to be replaced.

Jason Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Try asking your landlady where the fridge magnet is....if she doesn't know then politely suggest that she is liable for its loss and that you expect it to be replaced. Then she'll have to buy a magnet from here. HPC magnets are going up in price don't you know. Better buy soon before she misses the boat.

dnd Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Do tenants still have rights anymore? I thought your landlord was not allowed to enter the property without your permission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Now think about living your whole life like this. One 6 month assured tenancy after another. Landlords selling up whenever they want and you kicked about like a bit of flotsam with no rights. As long as BTL carries on under current legislation, your generation are going to live out of suitcases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Do tenants still have rights anymore? I thought your landlord was not allowed to enter the property without your permission? She did, but she didn't have our permission to allow the EA to walk off with our fridge magnet! Is it me - or do some of those posters come across as sociopaths? Yes, some do.

tahoma Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Have you tried expressing your rage through the medium of modern dance RichM? You could do it in the EAs office.

Killer Bunny Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Now think about living your whole life like this. One 6 month assured tenancy after another. Landlords selling up whenever they want and you kicked about like a bit of flotsam with no rights. Except that our current tenancy is for 2 years! When we get to 18 months (next May) we'll request a year's extension (hopefully the spring mini bounce - or at least stop from freefall - will be around) and they will have to decide by end June. 3 yrs would do just nicely. On verra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you well know I save my dance for Sunday mornings when I am worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ. My rendition of Jesus healing the deaf-mute man last Sunday brought many people to tears, I can assure you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen1000 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 This is the most comprehensive argument in favour of home ownership that I've read for some time; it's also a sad tale. Everyone here wants to be a home owner at some point in the future (despite their claims). Our landlady had an EA round recently to value the flat. We were away for the week.

Everyone here wants to be a home owner at some point in the future (despite their claims). That's right, it was the last straw for us. We're off tonight to look at a nice 1-bed in Brixton, near the Loughborough estate. It'll be a bit cramped with me, the wife, and a baby on the way, but at least it'll be ours!

bambam Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 nice 1-bed in Brixton. Is that a joke? Can't you live out of London and catch the train, rather than in drug dealer land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
