hmm, anyways most of the contracts have 6 months break clause, if the tenats pays 6 months in advance I dont think landlords have something to lose anyway

apart from when at the end of the 6 months they refuse to leave, dont pay any rent, and it takes 3 months to evict them through the courts?


Burgers... good

Turtles... good

turtle burger?!?!

Thanks, to all, for the replies, except troll _Andy_, of course.

In answer to the question about why I aren't flipping burgers. I live at home but it is now unbearable, but the only thing worse would be flipping burgers, and that's saying something. I don't mind using six months rent worth of my savings for rent as I'm desperate, but not beyond that.

Isn't that ever so insulting on the one hand for people who flip burgers for a living and not very proactive as regards looking for a job? If I didn't have a job I would do anything (and indeed, have done alot of things) legal, above board etc to pay my way in life.

I find that a little insulting to the parents who have put a roof over his head whilst he has accumulated these savings.

If you can't bear to live at home, get digs. As a lodger you would not need an employer's reference.

Don't tell them you have a job when you do not...that would clearly be fraud...but it is possible to rent without a job by paying enough rent up front to satisfy the landlord such as 6 months rent. You can then at the end of that term pay monthly until either you or the landlord terminates the contract. As long as you always pay on time without fail then I don't see why you can't stay on in the property. I have rented before using savings to pay the rent so it certainly is possible.

this can potantially happen with any tenant. the one flipping burgers can get laid off the follwoing month, have no money and no savings and refuse to pay.

Im just intedsted why landlord have fears of unemployed tenants. I have a friend who is an investment banker left his job for a travel break and now is back and looking for job, got job offers which pays X amount but he wants Y amount, have probably 6 figure savings in the bank, found a house paid 6 months in advance with no problem...may be an excpetion but most often people who rent the property budget in advance alternatively if its a single person they can share a house, less hassle, less to pay and some dont even check the references.
