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.

    Haha!
    By trying to save a few quid on electricity this unscrupulous idiot has opened a whole can of worms.
    Start looking for a new property immediately and report him to HMRC.

    He has at least 10 properties and always has to have the rent paid to him in cash, I cannot pay it into his bank account.
    You cannot pay yourself or he doesn't let you pay him that way? Do you at least get receipts or a rent book for what you pay?

    Call the HMRC and have them skin him!
    You wanna hear about my new obsession?
    I'm riding high upon a deep recession...

  • Next time rent is due give him a cheque, covering letter, take copies.

    We don't want crooked cheating idiots operating as landlords (or agents or tenants..) so please do yourcivic duty & grass him up. You might even save some money. And turn off his leccy NOW!

    Cheers!
