He is trolling

He probably (hopefully) is a troll, and has not really carried on like this, as a landlord.:eek:

But, if it is true, I hope he loses in court.

Poor tenants.

Bespoke radiator covers??

The best cleaners? The best cleaner I know is me. As for mould, it's not caused by dirt, it's caused by damp and condensation - I don't care what people say about opening windows etc, you shouldn't have to open windows every day. If you have black mould, you have a ventilation issue and can't really blame a tenant for that, although cleaning it would be nice, you have money to spend rectifying it.

Agree with all you say - BUT - what would you say if you had tenants who physically BLOCKED all the ventilation and then complained about mould and CO issues? I have the photos to prove it.

The rest of this thread is either someone very silly or a troll, so I haven't even bothered saying anything.

... what did you mean by they questioned you too much?

They wanted to know all about my right to rent. Drove me crazy.

Presumably you had them credit checked, which they acquiesced to quietly? I cannot see any issue with querying your right to rent.

Maybe the tenants are MSE people who know their rights and are now reading this thread in amazement!

In line with a couple of the other posters' thoughts, I'm of the view that this is a troll's thread but hey ho...

My tenants were difficult and I did not like them. They questioned me too much, ignored my requests and they have now cost me money

It can't have been too bad if these Ts have been there for 2.5 years. Ts who are that difficult usually get the old S21 within the first 6 months

I don't think that me having access to my home is unreasonable! Them changing the locks is unforgivable!

Once you sign an AST, it's not your *home* any longer: it becomes the Ts home and the T has "exclusive occupation". If the T refuses access then a LL has to obtain a court order. On the contrary , the T changing the locks will be viewed by many as an understandable reaction.

If you can't deal with that then don't let property out.

Do please desist from the !!!!!. It's how teenage girls write.

It is half term.

Please let the Trolls come out to play.

I admit that I did treat the place like my home...it was until this filthy creatures showed up. My house was immaculate. It isn't after they left. I am mad. I am mad because I am out of pocket. I just want what is rightfully mine...that is the cost to fix my house. It is more than the deposit. I will sue. I just need to know how I can balance it in my favour given my inventory.

Out of pocket? Didnt they pay you rent? Well, on the basis that the deposit is 2k, im assuming this is 6 weeks rent. On these assumptions, over 2.5 years you would have creamed somewhere in the region of 2k / 6 x 4 x 30 = 40k.

If the 2k deposit was actually equivalent to 1 months rent, then you are 60k better off. Stop whinging

Ok...I can see that I have angered people. I wanted the honest feedback and I appreciate it. I can only say that i am not a troll. I can understand why you think that I am but I am not. It looks like you guys all think that i am rotten as a landlord...if I was so bad why did they stay so long? Anyways, I guess that I have a weak case but as there is some documentation so I am going to proceed. papers were filled today. I have learned alot through this experience. All checks came back ok on these people so it just goes to show you can never tell about people. the only part I don't get is why people feel that I harassed them? I just wrote emails and called a few times to try and get things sorted with the property. They wouodn't let me. HArdly harassment, people. I am now only communitcating through my lawyer to avoid such accusations in the future. And, I do think that the mold was a lack of cleaning! But I am sure they will go down the ventilation route! I will report back on the case and I hope that I can show that my conviction to make these people pay to put my property back to good was right!

Mould spores can cause a great many health problems, particularly respiratory (sp?) in younger/ older people. It is not caused by dirt, it can be caused by damp, or poor ventilation (opening a window can be enough to rectify it or control it). It is however the responsibility of the landlord to pay for all investigations into it's cause. I hope, I mean, suspect they might slap you with a counter claim if you continue. Keep us updated won't you, it's been a good laugh amongst the family as I've read out this thread tonight, cheers. Quite different to angering people like you said, I think others reading this thread are bound to have enjoyed themselves too! Nice one.
