I store stuff there, obviously, due to space limitations or I wouldn't need to. Pain in the !!! to go out there to grab something
Greenr, if you had read my post properly, you would have seen that I am talking about in a storage cupboard, not in a hallway.
we have a largish cupboard with the elec meters in them but luckily no one stores stuff in there either apart from the lawnmower and hoover owned by the management co0 -
we have space limitations in our place but i'd never store stuff in communal areas - i'd get rid of some stuff or move to a bigger place. our lease document says that we're not allowed to store anything in communal areas and LUCKILY everyone seems to abide by this....
Gosh, so all I needed to do to solve the situation was to move house - now you tell me!
As previously stated, it is a cupboard whcih belongs to my flat - not items left in communal areas.0 -

well surely if you own the cupboard, you can put what you like in there? i was actually refering to an earlier post about rubbish in the hall when I posted0 -
I'd go with poppysarah's advice here actually. It'll be the fire service who can ultimately tell you what you can and can't do. They're usually more than happy to come and see you if you ask.0

I was storing flammable material in the meter cupboard in a communal area. I have removed it at the request of the managing agents.
Bearing in mind that one of the meter cupboards actually caught fire because of faulty wiring, the request was not unreasonable.0 -

They positively encourage it. They'd rather see you by appointment rather than in an emergency.0 -
OK, thanks for the advice there. I'll give the Fire Service a buzz.0

Does the living room belong to you to?
Are you allowed to have a ranging bonfire inside it, or perhaps store a couple of hundred gallons of petrol in there?"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
