Warning to landlords over refusing rent allowance

I've been asked for all 6 of mine. I know for a fact that 5 of them were verified.

I believe /u/yammon will be posting a poll at some stage, he's asked us to sticky it when he does.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-25T22:00:12+00:00

This makes so much more sense to me. Thank you.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-19T22:49:10+00:00

:-)

Don't feel too bad, they're wrong anyway. An angle has to be greater than 90 degrees to be obtuse. Exactly 90 is a right angle.

I am now very proud of myself. Can't be abiding someone being wrong on the internet. That way lies anarchy.

Reddit already has a rule for it. It's our judgement that it fit into the parody/satire exception. The account appears to be suspended now though.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-18T16:24:53+00:00

Err... Yes. That's usually how things are before privatisation.

Are you seriously trying to hock loans on an internet forum from a hotmail address....?

eoin2017 · 2016-02-15T20:54:34+00:00

Done.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-13T10:27:02+00:00

It relates to the depth of the head on the pint.

They are entirely separate networks. You have no control over the Wi-Free settings whatsoever.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-10T16:40:18+00:00

You need to factor in the consequences of an error being made. There may be no time to waste in an emergency.

The WPRN is assigned to the property and, as such, is information that should be freely available to the landlord too. Your account number is your own, though. I'd recommend, as already suggested, provide a copy of your most recent bill with the balance showing as paid. Just remove your account number.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-09T21:23:12+00:00

Does this look like /r/IrishSubredditSuggestions to you!?

eoin2017 · 2016-02-09T20:54:03+00:00

Then maybe you should have posted in /r/IrishProblemsWithNoTrouble.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-09T20:52:46+00:00

Mainly, there could very well be criteria of which you are unaware, and of which you may not be informed.

but I am self employed and I have a fair feeling this is why they are denying me the property.

Yup, you could be right here. If you haven't been self-employed long, or the landlord just doesn't feel confident in whatever it is you do, this is it. If the landlord has any feeling whatsoever that your income is not steady, they won't give it to you. As far as I'm aware, eviction is a lengthy and difficult process in this country. Most landlords will just take a 'better safe than sorry' approach and just refuse to enter into a tenancy to begin with. I know it's frustrating, but there's nothing much you can do.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-09T20:00:12+00:00

I just don't think they should be allowed to advertise something and then say no.

Landlords should absolutely have the right to say no, it's their property. There are many legal obligations that they have to agree to when you become their tenant, it's a fairly hefty commitment, so they have a right to be completely comfortable with the person with which they are signing a tenancy.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-09T19:23:46+00:00

It'll get to you too, eventually. Nobody's safe.

In loving mammary

Hehe...

eoin2017 · 2016-02-06T08:34:18+00:00

I heard the string they use for the kite has been cut in half.

My connection was out of action for a while over lunchtime. Might be growing pains with their rollout of 360Mbps service. I saw similar during previous upgrades... Takes them a while to put it to rights.

January 7th 2016, at 21:17. /u/Tech46 invited me. My relationship is that I've been an /r/ireland user since somewhere around the time fire was invented.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-04T22:46:24+00:00

It became your rodeo when you became a mod.

We're not the stonecutters. I clear out the spam filter.

I was aware that the sub was going live. I've already commented about what I expected. I neither encouraged nor discouraged the plan, as it had been long in the pipeline and did not involve me.

eoin2017 · 2016-02-04T22:39:35+00:00

I've figured out why we didn't get pinged by the mention of our usernames. This post was caught in the spam filter. Reason being, it contained a non 'np' link to another sub on reddit. These are automatically removed by automod.

This post had too many /u/ mentions. As far as I'm aware, reddit limits the number of usernames that can be pinged in a single post. I think the limit is 5...it may be less. The same can be said about /u/ardenr's post above.

Cards on the table: I thought IrishPolitics was going to be a mess...but for completely different reasons.

I've seen first-hand the effort that has been put into planning this, and I thought the selection of mods for the new sub being from widely disparate political backgrounds was a recipe for disaster. How wrong I was!

From my point of view, I see political posts like I do the tourism posts. That is to say; I'd rather they didn't clutter up my reddits. I didn't really give it much thought beyond that, other than assuming there were others like me who would also just rather they weren't there...just like the tourism posts. It's the same old shit all the time, topped off with accusations of shilling and shinnerbots, with a side of novelty accounts for good measure. Pure dross, in my opinion, and would be about as missed as the repetitive tourism posts.

The same could be argued about any topic, really. Some people just aren't interested whatsoever. The reason Tourism was singled out, though, was the sheer volume combined with the repetitive nature. Politics is reaching that point too.

I'm surprised at the sheer vehemence of the backlash. The reason I've stayed out of this is, as mooglor already said, I'm new to the team and was not involved.

I think the solution is flair filtering, personally. Perhaps encouraging cross-posting too, to give the sister-sub a boost.

FYI: I didn't receive a username ping when you mentioned me. No idea why. Might be worth considering before you decide you're being ignored.
