    It's the stress of all that debt he has.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.

    Agreed but the focus of this latest attack isn't the most pleasant to be fair :confused:

    I neogitated 50 quid off my 500 quid rent price.

    So got 10% off and ended up at 450 a month rent.

    I got 50 off 800 so a mere 6% reduction. I tried for 100 off but took 50 as I wasn't really prepared to move (we're in an unfurnished place and we have 2 young children).
    The landlord is still doing pretty well out of it. he knows it too, or he'd have told us where to go.

    Just thought I'd update this thread as I did take my own advice. Not quite as I'd hoped, in that our current landlady refused to lower the rent, in spite of my best efforts/evidence. But given several other (bigger) properties were being offered at up to £200/month less, it seemed too much to throw away.

    So we've settled on one £175/month less. :)

    Kind of dreading the move, but at least it means I get to experience the positive side of deflation myself. :beer:
