    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

    Don't worry guys, Fungus speaks Picklesese and is here to translate:
    When I did an inspection in November a 2 bed house or mine was looking very tired. I had not decorated it since I bought it 5 years ago. Translation: My bedsit is a hole, can't believe anyone would rent it.
    I had a discussion with the tenants and said I would like to decorate the whole house, install a new kitchen and bathroom and they could chose the colour schemes. Translation: My tenants have said they are not staying another day and have scarpered.
    To save them the hassle of all this work I arranged another property for them to stay in free of charge. Translation: They won't tell me where they've gone.
    It has taken alot of meetings to agree for them to move out. Translation: I begged the to stay and they told me to get fewked.
    I dont understand all the fuss they have created saying that they were happy with the property the way it was. Translation: I'll never let it out now in the state it is in.
    However the decorating is well under way now but there is a complication. Translation: I've run out of money.
    The LA I use has sent some people round to view and they are prepared to pay more rent once the work is complete. Translation: In my dreams.
    So what do I do approach the tenants and explain that someone is prepared to pay more or just leave the rent at the same price? Translation: How the fewk do I rent it out again now?[/quote]

    In the words of the great man himself, I hope that helps!:rotfl:
    You can't win an argument with a stupid person.

  • If I were your tenant I would tell you to stuff your house up your backside and return one very dark night and paint the whole of the outside in bright pink gloss.

    Shurely houses in Felixstow will be slightly harder to let when redundancy kicks in? Time to be nice to those tenants.
