OP - do you have any friends who can agree to open and close curtains say twice a week and put different lights on ?

I probably do Clutton, I hate to burdon people with such tasks but I am sure they would be pleased to help.

If you start a thread with, by your own admission, a naive question.
And then declare yourself to be an experienced landlord.

Don't be surprised by the reaction you get.

I know who I consider the moron here.

Thank you for your helpful contribution

I do have decent manners, however I will stand up to people when they are rude to me with like for like.

That 'tone' you refer to was directed at one person only who took that tone with me first, if you read over the thread you will see that I was polite to everyone else and didn't even react to you calling me a moron!

Was I hostile?
Was I abusive?
Was I threatening?

I asked what was, under the circs, a perfectly reasonable question. If, after almost 20 years experience as a LL, you still don't understand what a tenancy is, then that needs to be clarified. As you have admited yourself, it was a "naive" and "silly mistake", which hardly makes it my fault.

You have plenty of suggestions to be going on with and a better understanding of what constitutes a tenancy. That information alone may prevent serious problems in the future and, clearly, you've been lucky up until now so I think I'll leave it there.

What you fail to realise is that the silly mistake I made was asking when I DO understand what constitutes a tenancy.

I think you will find luck only gets you so far in life, I have worked hard for what I have achieved, both in getting my first class honours degree, my chartered status as a surveyor and my financial success.

And yes I do think you were rude:

A professional LL for 20 years with a reasonable sized portfolio of properties and you STILL don't understand even the very basics of LL/T legislation?

That is rude, but I can live with another internet twerp being rude, I'll get over it.

Hey, it's an internet message board. I could be a brain surgeon with TWO first class honours degrees and TEN houses if I wanted to be. Hell, I could even be a B movie, straight to video actor. It's all fantasy-land. But, if that was what I was claiming to be, I'd make sure I didn't ask stupid questions, the answer to which I already knew, and that I demonstrated a basic grasp of written english. Otherwise, I might just look a bit of a chump, wouldn't I, Chuck?

It would also be quite sad for someone to claim things that were not true, we are in TOTAL agreement there. But everything I said was 100% true.

Somehow I suspect that you are not a brain surgeon with two first class honours degrees.

I think that you will find that MOST (granted not all) tend to go straight from their first degree onto a post grad qualification.
