PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    TBS264 - clearly you seem to seek the negative in people's personalities. I personally think I have been very understanding of the tenant - I have not listed all the other jobs that have been done for her by myself.
    Nah -there is no need to "seek the negative" in a post when its so clearly displayed (not personality as we've never met) ;) None of us are mind readers so obviously can't take into consideration information that hasn't been mentioned by you.

    Your comment "and previous threads suggest that she herself perhaps has difficulty with communicating in an adult fashion." is quite uncalled for really - but hey, rather that than ignorant!
    On the contrary , when we have a LL who can't just pick up a phone and ask their T why their rent is paid short and a couple of days late but instead posts on here about it ( under the title URGENT), it does indeed seem indicative of someone who perhaps over reacts and struggles to clearly communicate.

    Others commented on it too: Paul in this thread and others elsewhere:
    I cannot comprehend why you would not just contact the tenant and say, hi, the rent has not hit my account yet, is there a problem?

    Because that would be far too sensible, its all about business and contracts these days and "I want it now/instantly" ;o)))

    Bingo, rather than going to the LA or whoever else just ask the question direct and it'll get sorted out quicker.

    Thank you to all who have provided constructive advice either way!
    Despite the fact that I doubted your communication skills, based on what you had posted, you got other posts from me with constructive suggestions in both threads so thanks for the thanks :D
  • Text her so that you have proof. Advise her that it will be in the terms of her agreement that she allows access for emergencies and if she is unwilling to meet you there and will not allow your plumber access (she can always ask a friend to meet him to allow entry) then she will be responsible if the leak causes any major problems. If she is otherwise a good tenant then try to rebuild the relationship if she is not then consider serving notice on her! Good Luck!
