You mention in one of your posts '' at the time of the accident,'' what accident ! I would define an accident as an event that could not reasonably be avoided or predicted....... pouring petrol onto an internally lit barbaque does not qualify ! They are simple half-wits and instead of trying all manner...

As said, your a lodger, just leave now.

Agree with above it it was his own house i doubt he could get it looked at, a full diagnosis and then fixed in one day !!! The tenant is out of order.

[Hudson01]

I do feel for you as i can see you were trying to do the right thing by the tenant, but he has clearly gone ' rogue', it's now time to get him out in anyway you can. Good luck.

I am not so sure this is viable given the damage we are talking about is structural and not contents, a tenant will not insure someone else's building and in fact it may be illegal given in some flats etc their is a block buildings policy in place paid for by the owners so the same item would be insured...

[Hudson01]

Agree that its down to your insurers, also i doubt any contents insurance would cover what they have destroyed, the garage would be classed at part of the building and i doubt they would have had buildings insurance for a tenanted property...... as an aside they sound like half wits, have they caused...

Agree with comments above about keeping out of it, you can not fix stupid, if there are offences then only the Police should be informed and deal with it, it's not your job.

I would be tempted to pay her off to get rid, but she could be a slippery customer and as said may play you like a fiddle after taking the cash, a real tricky one, either way you may need a cash reserve to get this sorted either way.

I do often wonder what these rather soft and fluffy tenants would do if the home they were in was owned by themselves and not someone else..... would they simply never clean their own windows ? It's lunacy, a debate on the cleaning of an internal window ......... this tenant appears to be saying that...

On the surface of it this sounds totally unacceptable, an average fully complete toilet can be had for around the £40 mark and then the fitting of said item is around an hours work at most. I note you say you paid more than you wanted to and that the flat was priced to include a fully working toilet..........

[Hudson01]

The Police SHOULD be interested if this vehicle is being driven without valid insurance and i would suggest you call the local neighbourhood policing team and tell them all the details and if you do know what time/day they are likely to leave etc then often they can be in the area to pick them up, the...

I work in an '' industry '' whereby i dealt with the ne'er-do-well's on a regular basis and i can assure you, you are not stereotyping at all !!!...

[Hudson01]

Agree with ash72 i would not have allowed HIM in when i was expecting a female, i too would forget about squatting and be concerned about other criminal activities should it be let to them...... i would also be speaking with the agent to check their vetting procedures.

Until i viewed a fully authenticated NHS letter mentioning the diagnosis of Cancer with their name and address on it.............You get where i am coming from.

[Hudson01]

She is clearly trouble, how long is the AST ? I would be looking to get gone at the first opportunity. I don't rent to HB/UC and it maybe just pure luck but up to now i have had zero issues and i have been a landlord a while now, hope it works out and she can be happy in the near future....... but i...

agree with a lot of what has been said, i am useless at DIY and i have a number of properties (flats included) and i simply get trades people i trust, my properties are let out all the time with very few voids and if there is one its only a max of a month, that's because there are no bodge jobs. It...

[Hudson01]

When i took over one of the flats i own we had a dish and all manner of old holes, cables and clips and nonsense on the walls, yes you can patch it up but it will never be the same as a totally undamaged brick, unless the tenant has a spare stack of reclaimed bricks which are an exact match to what...
