Advice needed on declaring something to landlord??

**dancingbutterfly**

Densol, I am as proud as punch of my brother and tell it to the whole world! I am not feeling guilty whatsoever. It's just the fact that I am getting paid to look after him in a private rented house. Nothing to do with him and his situation, just that I'm being paid for it in his property.

I'm going to keep sctum any who. Thank you

Just as well to keep schtum in the event.:T

In a very different context - I've certainly found that mentioning something at the outset and thinking "Right - they've accepted it - so wont complain later" turned out not to be the case at all. They did turn round and complain later in the event. They were wrong to and it was none of their business - but, in the event, the outcome would have been exactly the same (ie whether I had or hadn't told them) - ie them complaining about something that was nothing to do with them.

Hence = I don't rate mentioning things that are none of their business at the outset anyway as a "Protective Mechanism". It doesn't rate as a "protective shield" against bad treatment anyway. They're either going to treat you decently or they're not - totally regardless of what you did/didn't say at the outset.

Maybe:

But thanks to Thatcher's "section 21" a landlord can evict a tenant for no reason at all: And as has been pointed out you don't know how THIS landlord will react as & when he finds out.

As a landlord I would not have a problem with the arrangement but would very much prefer being told.... and would counsel doing so in this case: But.
- Your shout, your decision:
- Your risk ....

Good luck anyway!

you could use that argument for almost anything...should I tell my LL I have a poker night once a week etc etc yes the LL can evict for any reason, that is not a reason to run everything past them first.

As long as you follow the rental agreement, you don't have to get the consent from the LL.
