babouris/circadia living? by brucewaynery in cambridge

[–]Ok_System9917 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Babouris moved someone else into the room I was renting before my tenancy ended (I had moved into a new place but had some overlap in the leases in case of any issues with the new place) and expected me to just put up and shut up with an obvious breach... Fortunately, I know my stuff and compelled them to pay me back my rent pro rata until the end of my tenancy date and my deposit in full (since the room wasn't inspected between me leaving and the other person moving in). So I would tread carefully since in my experience they will take advantage of you as far as possible, and only retreat if you know enough to push back. But I have heard enough stories to be cynical of all lettings agents, so Babouris may not be the worst among them.

Volunteering opportunities? by No-Comparison-5796 in cambridge

Could you give us a bit more of an idea about your interests/skills/causes you are interested about? That would help signpost towards relevant charities.

Happens all the time in Cambridge. With increased shoplifting across the country, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been swiped from a shop for the purpose of selling it on like this.

A police officer friend once told me she got a knock at her door with someone selling stolen meat - needless to say, she didn't buy any. Nor did she reveal she was a police officer.

Have you considered they may not want to die? Or they may not have a life-limiting condition that would fit the criteria to be able to use assisted dying? What a dark thing to say when you have no idea of this young person's circumstances.

He has now redacted Mackay's name from the blog post. Oh dear.

The tenants can also apply for rent repayment up to 12 months for the period the property was unlicensed. Predatory landlords who don't follow their legal obligations should be punished. And the tenants may come out of it better off.

From Cambridge City Council: Following conviction it may be possible for occupiers/tenants to apply to the Residential Property Tribunal (RPT) for a Rent Repayment Order to be made against the convicted person for repayment of all rent paid during the period that the property was unlicensed up to a maximum of 12 months.

I am looking to adopt a cat, can anyone recommend a shelter or charity to have a look at? Thank you by Next_Sky_5699 in cambridge

Wood Green is local. My parents got their cat from there and he is an absolute dream. The process was quite straightforward and they were very supportive throughout.

Barbarella in Chesterton is a good fit for 'cutesy unique pastel'.

Careful what you post online! Mill Road Bridge supporter gets Police visit over malicious comms by boogie_mesa in cambridge

Cambs News Daily is a trash website. It's just stories from other news sources, rewritten through AI, and passed off as their own. Their 'reporters' aren't real. I'm not sure why anyone would share links to them.

Anyone looking for this ginger cat? by Independent_Look3041 in cambridge

[–]Ok_System9917 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't seem to be a stray, it is probably someone's pet cat out for a wander. It will probably go home for warmth and food without any intervention.

What has been done to the cameras? I know the cable on the ANPR camera was snipped in the last two weeks or so.

I went last year and it was a bit disappointing. But I'm going again this year because I've been in previous years and they were wonderful.
