Tenant is now letting house get dirty

  • Oh dear

    Yet again the mods have chosen to delete a robust (but very factual and honest) response to the original post.

    In removing such robust posts, the original poster is hidden from the (quite rightly) strong and valid views held on this subject.

    If the original poster cannot deal with these robust posts, then can I politely suggest they have too strong an emotional attachment to this house, and are not cut out to be an (accidental) landlord. Simply put, the response deleted here is NOTHING compared to the vitriol a tenant can deliver to a landlord who thinks they can have a say in how a tenant conducts their life.

    It is truly bizarre how some landlords think they own their tenants.
    Back off man, I'm a scientist. ;)

    Daily Mail readers?
    :naughty:
    Can you make sense of the Daily Mail’s effort to classify every inanimate object into those that cause cancer and those that prevent it ?

    I agree that it is a shame when robust posts are deleted, and yes LLs do not own their tenants. BUT my now deceased mother used to say

    ' it's not what you say it's the way you say it that is the problem'

    this holds true here too.

    John can I suggest that if you post you actually read the whole thread.

    The OP has no mortgage, the house belongs to her deceased daughter.

    I would think anyone would understand she has more emotion tied up in this house than most LL. I agree it's a buisness etc but just read the whole thread!
    So OP is in even better position, the attitude is even more typical of landlords.

    John, do you have children, how can you say this is better?

    OP admits she is overly emotional about the property.

    I think that there are a variety of tenants and there are also a variety of LLs, I'm not sure how you feel you know what a typical(your word) LL is!

    So has landlord forgotten about the rent that large sum of money that is being paid every month.

    I had to read that a few times to make sense of it, and while I am on this subject, please look up rent and let in a dictionary

    Nope, the fundamentals to OP are correct:

    "You have rented the property, you're making money.

    Be grateful."
