Landlord Charging for Other Resident Rubbish Removal

sequence

Take it and sell it on ebay ? No reason a problem can't become an opportunity

HAha. Sadly it has been in the rain a good couple of days now. Maybe I could sell the copper for a quid or two :rotfl:

Wait until nobody's looking then move it next door.

Thanks for the help folks! I will wait and see what happens. I've always favoured words over confrontation so if I do get invoiced I'll have a chat about it. Especially since I have an email from him describing my partner and I as model tenants! Haha. Thanks again.

Fair enough, so if you receive an invoice just return it with the words "not my television".

Hi all,

I live in a block of flats and I have recently received a letter from my landlord about a TV being left out for rubbish collection.

It states the binmen have refused to collect and if it's not collected it will be removed by the landlord and residents from all the flats will be charged an equal amount for it.

This TV has nothing to do with me, is my landlord allowed to do this?
Hopefully somebody owns up and gets rid of the TV, but let's assume they don't.

Thanks!

Hey Jake

I’m guessing by landlord you mean the freeholder rather than owner of your flat.



Somebody has to pay and although it’s unfair on you, yes he has the right.



It’s similar to someone on the ground floor having to contribute to stair cleaning – the joys of flat ownership!

Good luck.
