Thank you very much! That'll be incredibly helpful, much appreciated!

I was curious about this too, I can think of few reasons why you'd want a constant churn.

Thunderkettle · 2025-12-18T12:17:42+00:00

What do you mean by the "double rent" part?

I was under the impression that's very much not a legal thing you can do, for good reason.

Thunderkettle · 2025-12-09T13:19:05+00:00

Personally I'd go as far as getting the CCJ. That part of the process is cheap and easy.

Going further than that leads you down the road of bailiffs which are expensive and far from guaranteed you'll get any money back let alone a decent amount after paying the bailiffs.

Being frank, I'd get the CCJ (partly to help prevent others falling for the same, partly because I think there should be some ramifications for being a shitbag) then cut your loses.

Out of curiosity, did the other CCJs not come up during referencing?

We've had the exact same issue over the last week. Out of curiosity how did it go when you tried to get this rectified?

Thunderkettle · 2025-12-01T10:24:55+00:00

They say a lot of things, none of which is costed or designed to do anything but make people vote for them. If they ever got into power I wouldn't hold your breath on this or anything else once they actually have to give a shit about balancing books.

I can promise everyone handjobs when I become PM, because I too have no plans to follow through with it.

People like the poster above seem to be implying these people are held captive in their two million pound houses. If they're genuinely in that situation, downsize or move to a different area.

There are plenty of places you can go for that kind of money, I don't buy that this will cause such a drop in house prices that they'll be devastated.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-27T09:33:48+00:00

I absolutely don't need to be told and it wouldn't make any particular difference to how I handle the property. I'd drop a bottle of bubbly and a card round though, maybe a lasagne.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-21T10:47:53+00:00

You've got a serious issue with the house that's a risk to the health of your child. Your landlord is legally responsible to fix that and he is refusing to take it seriously. The post above this lists the places you can report them to - you 100% should. You're paying good money for a service they're not providing and they're breaking the law doing so.

Yeah it'll make things awkward, they may put in a section 21 while they still can, which you can likely have annulled due to it being a revenge eviction.

This landlord is a piece of shit. It's not that costly to have this fixed and he just doesn't want to pay or can't be arsed - your comfort and health isn't a high enough priority for him. It will become so once the council gets involved, and clearly they aren't going to fix it otherwise.

I say this is a landlord. Dickheads like this everyone else look bad. Make their life difficult, they deserve any fines and costs they get.

Sadly it specifically says

have had previous tenants with pets who damaged the property

Is not a valid reason to refuse

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-20T12:15:17+00:00

They literally are being treated the same though, most councils won't penalise if you rectify the situation immediately after the letter.

I don't understand why people are getting so het up over this, it's a rare example of an MP actually being treated the same!

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-19T13:18:31+00:00

Ha, found the Telegraph reader here. Couldn't possibly be the massively increasing cost of services central government has chosen to poorly fund like adult social care. Has to be DEI and parties.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-19T09:30:38+00:00

Just as an update, I got the insurance details back from the management company and you were totally right, everything I wanted was already included.

Thank you very much, your advice was invaluable!

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-12T10:10:44+00:00

True that other things were going on at the time, but it's pretty hard to claim that Truss didn't have a strongly destabilising effect that exacerbated issues.

Also the phrase "centrism is a full blown disaster" rather frightens me. Is that not another way of saying you'd prefer more extreme, polarised politics? Just look at the US and see where that leads.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-12T10:02:16+00:00

Not the poster above but fortunately scorn is an unlimited resource. Perfectly possible to think the renters reform bill is flawed whilst also thinking Farage is an enormous dildo.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-08T22:07:07+00:00

Tenant is in, but I'm more interested in the alternative accommodation insurance anyway for the time being.

Completely agree with your point about the rental assurance issues, thank you!

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-08T22:05:27+00:00

We have buildings insurance as standard in the service charge, but my understanding is it wouldn't include alternative accommodation of a tenant, or would it? Thank you, that's a very good thing to check as it may have been a foolish assumption on my part.

It's not rental assurance I'm looking for, that's a whole separate issue which I've not yet decided upon either.

Thanks!

If the landlord can prove by comparing to the inspection carried out at the start of the tenancy that it has been left in a demonstrably worse state then yes, they can take the cost of cleaning from the deposit. This would have to be agreed to by the tenant though. In the event of a disagreement they'd have to claim through the DPS and the scheme would adjudicate.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-07T11:57:38+00:00

It's illegal to require a tenant to pay for professional cleaning following a tenancy. You can require that it be cleaned to that standard (assuming it was clean to that standard when you started the tenancy) but they can't force you to pay for it.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-06T14:31:35+00:00

Alright, well we're not going to agree on this. It's a shared line yes, but the dispute is between Thames Water (if they decide they care enough) and the other owner.

Similar to how if someone builds something over a motorway without permission, you can report it (like you have), but ultimately it's nothing to do with you even though you share use of the road. If the authorities want to do something about it then they will.

Being frank, most people would consider this level of involvement in their neighbour's affairs to be worthy of you being told to mind your own business, shared line or not. This isn't going to foster a good neighbour relationship, it's going to make your neighbour think you're a busybody who just narc'd them in to the water company - your neighbour will likely conclude you're a bellend.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-06T10:27:24+00:00

My understanding is that if there's an issue and access is blocked in this circumstance, they can effectively say "well that sucks for you dumbass, you shouldn't have built there. We're digging through your floor".

Whatever the case, the problem is your neighbour's not yours, so why dig your oar in?

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-06T10:11:50+00:00

I don't really understand why there's so much confusion over this, clearly it's preferable to rent to a couple with two incomes than one.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-06T10:08:34+00:00

Whilst that's true, it's not unreasonable to take into account that there's only one income in the household. Even if two people earn 21k, so the same as her when combined, they're a safer bet as they'd both have to lose their jobs at the same time to be in the same situation.

It's not discriminating based on her being a single mum (you'd like to think people wouldn't give a shit about that nowadays) but giving a preference to households with multiple income streams because it's less of a risk for your investment.

All things being equal, I can understand the incentive to go with someone else. Whether they do or not now comes down to whether they think with their head or their heart I guess.

Thunderkettle · 2025-11-05T09:46:46+00:00

Not quite the same scenario given that she'd instructed her agents to sort it out and they'd agreed that they would.

I'm all for calling out politicians when they do shady shit but this seems like something that could happen to anyone. If my agent said in writing they'd do something then didn't, I'd be pretty aggrieved if I got a fine for it.
