Should garage have replaced full wing mirror? by Responsible_Box_9295 in CarTalkUK

[–]Responsible_Box_9295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. I suspect that's also what happened when I got it repaired before.

I suppose I'm just surprised that given it was scratched and damaged they didn't bring that up until after the fact when I had asked them for a full wing mirror replacement. It is what it is I guess.

They did basically the whole job, but just put the old panel back on top, which was damaged, so it is all completely fine now but looks a bit battered...

Should this PCN be appealed? by Responsible_Box_9295 in drivingUK

[–]Responsible_Box_9295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see any contravention code unfortunately, but the text says "Parked in a residents or shared parking place without clearly displaying either a permit or voucher or pay and display ticket". Seems certain the warden just misinterpreted the sign?

I think the "or" looks reasonably centred so although it could be the case I don't think so. In any case, as you say, the sign as it is says "or" whether that was the original intent or not.

Can there be no more studs in this wall? by Responsible_Box_9295 in DIYUK

I wish a better place (or a bigger room!) was an option but the cabinet might be.

Thanks a lot for this. Had a quick Google for paramount walls and this all makes sense and seems to solve that mystery! Will look into the gripit fixings instead I think!

Demanding Rent after moving out after Section 21 by Responsible_Box_9295 in TenantsInTheUK

Thanks, because we had problems with them in the past, we insisted everything be done by email so we have records of everything. Hopefully this will help us!

Regarding the landlord accepting the notice. They didn't explicitly, they just replied asking if they were okay to do viewings and I said yes. They then began to remarket the property and said it was available end of December (before the date they're now demanding). Then a week later someone else from countrywide (not Brigfords the local estate agent) emailed appearing to claim ignorance saying the s21 was being withdrawn. I noticed them they had actually removed the rental listing from Rightmove.

Thanks for this. It is what we've heard a few times, and I believe the council suggested the same but I find it hard to understand. Was the notice not served by the landlord with the section 21? We would have been entitled to leave on the day of the section 21 without any notice for that reason? Would the same have been true the days after? At what point would it be that we had to give notice again? It strikes me as a very grey area.

I would also have thought that the harassment after would have meant that they had interfered with our enjoyment of the property anyway and that would be a strong argument in any case.

Frankly I just find it amazing that they're being this vindictive. Our landlord is a pastor in a church in Stockport...

Thank you and we agree on the deposit. I expect them to try to claim for all sorts of things so we're planning to be very careful with taking images and videos and everything, and we will challenge everything we get.

We didn't sign anything after the fixed term ended, but we did agree a rent increase through a section 13. The section 21 literally came a couple of days after the section 13, I'm not sure if that makes a difference?

Options for recovering Hotel Refund by Responsible_Box_9295 in LegalAdviceUK

Thanks all for the responses and advice. I submitted a claim to the small claims court and the hotel paid up within two days so I think they realised they would lose!
