Retraction

in House buying, renting & selling
On 13 April 2010, I published a post on this forum which made reference to my experience as a tenant of Mr Sunil Dhown in a property managed by IRD Homes. I have recently been contacted by Mr Dhown, who has made it clear that the publication of both the details of my experience and my opinion of the approach taken by IRD Homes in relation to its management of the property has caused him distress. In order to bring the matter to an immediate conclusion, I contacted the webmaster of this forum and asked him to remove my post and the replies to it, which he has kindly done. I would also like to take this opportunity to confirm publicly that I regret any distress that has been caused by the publication of the details of my experience as Mr Dhown's tenant and any opinions that I formed as a result of that experience.

    Mr Sunil Dhown and IRD Homes?

    Thank you for confirming that they are, in reality, jolly nice people.

    Being honest may not get get you a lot of friends - but it will get you the right ones.
    Let your past make you better, not bitter.

    Fair enough,Mr Dhown's solicitors want you to suffer your experiences as Mr Dhown's tenant in silence.

    Perhaps Mr Dhown should set an example and suffer reports of his tenants' experiences in silence.

    Sounds to me that there has been an amicable resolution to the original issue.

    I for one will now not hesitate to rent from IRD homes in the future.:rotfl:

    If the original post and comments were true then you should grow a pair and repeat them. You cannot be sued for making true statements - no matter how much 'distress' it causes.

    If they were untrue then you shouldn't have made those comments in the first place.
