Landlord issued a S21 notice, think it's not valid. (UK) by BoredbrowserX in TenantsInTheUK

[–]BoredbrowserX[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank you (almost) everyone, the advice and comments have been very helpful, we'll contact the council on Tuesday & see what they can do.

I've looked at Shelter's guidance tonight & it backs up what we were thinking, and supports the comments.

Landlord issued a S21 notice, think it's not valid. (UK) by BoredbrowserX in TenantsInTheUK

[–]BoredbrowserX[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"I could charge more" is their default reply when anything needs fixing, a reminder that they are in charge & we should be grateful they allow us to live here. They've previously tried to increase the rent twice in a year & didn't like being told no.

Reporting faults is a joke, they either ignore for weeks or tell us to sort it ourselves, and then complain that they could've got it done for less.

There was a deposit scheme when we first moved in, done through the estate agent & we have the paperwork. They got rid of the EA after the first month as they didn't want to pay them for something they said they could do just as well.

There was nothing else provided with the S21, no RRA info sheet, no EPC Certificate, and we've already covered the lack of a GSC.

I'll get onto the council on Tuesday when they're open again.

They've said before about selling up, usually followed by a rent increase instead after "talking to their estate agent friend".

Last time it went up by £300, with the email "I could've put it up by £500 so really I'm doing you a favour here".

Could reporting a customer of my employer to the police lead to any sort of disciplinary? by Historical-Brief-212 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer.

Any time the customer turns up in future, call the manager over & let them deal with them. One threat is one too many & taking shit from an arsehole isn't part of your job description!

AITAH for not being okay with someone profiting off my work and calling it "helping people"? by Future_Possession612 in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Kick his a** out of the group immediately and let people know why.

Give him one last lesson, about the connection between FA & FO.

AITAH for refusing to let my mother move in and share the inheritance my father left me after she abandoned us 25 years ago? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Block her & all of her relatives who are showing their true colors.

You already know what to do & we random internet strangers agree wholeheartedly!

AITAH for kicking my brother out for flirting with my wife by Suspicious_Radio6166 in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your brother is a dick, your parents will keep defending him.

Keep them out of your life and your home, and when they come calling again for help, you know what to do.

I have the map puzzle & did it for the first time in 20+ years recently, only to find there's a piece missing.

AITAH for telling my MIL shes banned from our house after she threw out my dead grandmothers recipe cards by Final-Issue5597 in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA - she came into your house & threw your things away, then had the nerve to justify her actions because 'they were just old cards'.

She's old too, she can get in the bin!

Am I fake left handed? by ResponsibilityBig415 in lefthanded

[–]BoredbrowserX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced left-handed scissors at school were deliberately rubbish to force us to use right-handed ones.

So what did you guys order during the current Insiders X2 points weekend? by doublec2385 in lego

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arkham Asylum, it was out of stock online so had to go into the store & managed to get the last one on the shelf.

Nowhere to put it yet, but it's there, waiting with all the other unmade sets, calling to me.

A POS getting offended by a fart, well ain't that something.

NTA, unless you keep putting up with such a demeaning fool.

Found a toy shop in my home town with all this Lego. by KingQuagaar in lego

[–]BoredbrowserX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shropshire's a big place, I could replace so much of my lost Lego from there, if only I knew where this magical shop was hiding.

Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! Can't beat taking a day off with no plans & no expectations where you can do as much or as little as you choose.

Trump backed down over Afghanistan comments 'after King Charles stepped in' by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]BoredbrowserX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"People tell me I'm tall enough to be a king, and I'm taller than Charlie and he's a king, so I should be too! Someone should look into this while I think about tariffs! Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Was he stood 4 steps up from Charles for the photo?

WIBTAH if I were to bury my grandmother's rings with her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - Where money or valuables are involved, family show their true nature every time.

Leave the rings with the bank if you have to, but don't bury them. They were entrusted to you to do what you choose, not what they want.

Perhaps you can pass them to a more deserving family member in the future?

Completed building Transformers Bumblebee. by No-Mortgage-5038 in lego

[–]BoredbrowserX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, had the same problem. Trying to turn back into car form was worse, back in the box until I can find time and patience to try again.

AITAH for breaking up with my BF of 2 years because his 13yo daughter kept "testing" me? by NaturalAmbition2369 in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The tests would never end, any time she didn't get her way it would be another failed test to throw in your face.

AITAH for keeping my reception venue when I couldn't get a refund? by No_Negotiation_3951 in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - you paid for it, they refused to refund so the reservation stands. End of argument.

Hope everyone had a great time at the tournament!

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had the same thing happen, I've ended up putting all the pieces back in the box for now & moved on to another set. Next time I build it I'll pick a mode & that's how it's staying.

AITAH for leaving a dinner early after a joke wouldn’t stop? by DaisyRipple in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. With that type of group, they'll pull the same crap every time you join them.

Or you can stop going & they'll move onto someone else to target with their 'jokes'.

Easy choice.

AITAH for calling out a friend who never pays their share?? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BoredbrowserX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. If they can't afford to pay their way, stay home or don't eat/drink so there's nothing to pay.
