    Sadly I've lost £190 today :( Our ex-tenant threatened to take us to court in a dispute over his deposit after he damaged our flat when he moved out. We spent many hours last night and today researching what would be the most likely outcome and sadly as a landlord, the law isnt on our side. The tenant knew this and so we cut or losses and gave in. We had to spend almost £300 to get the flat back to rental standard because of his actions and he's got away with it. Sometimes the law sucks.
    £20k in 2023 = £2718 £2023 in 2023 = £196.41 Grocery challenge £250= £195.80 **MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY**

    nat21luv - sorry to hear that. That seems so unfair but I suppose if you think that the law will favour them more than you, then I guess it is the best decision to cut your losses and not risk losing a court case.

    Exactly our thoughts Long, rather give him some of his deposit back(which he jumped at!) than face the stress, time, and money of a court case. I was hoping to keep some of his deposit as a reward for cleaning the balcony on which his unauthorised pet pooch decided to take many, many toilet breaks! (the tenant didnt feel it was his responsibility to clean up after his dog so decided to leave it...all 12 months worth!)_pale_

    Phew, works eased off a bit and I have eventually made a start for March. Just got a few things listed on ebay and managed to bring my electric payment down from £60 to £36 per month so calling that £24 to start me off. Everyone looks like they are having a really good March. Well Done.
    £5 a day in January, wish me luck. x:)

    £10 is in the bank from the paypal withdrawal.
