So about normal for you then mhoc :eek:

Not a nice thought, there's a few of us on here going on holiday in September, the idea of that happening ...............

mhoc

Also can I ask a question of the elite landlords.

If someone gives you a name as a reference how do you take that reference up - do you ring, write or email and if so what questions are asked?

Eldest son has given us as a reference - quite legal as he still is registered for his postal vote so he is on the electoral roll for the home address and he still has his car insurance and bank account with the home address.

Yes totally

before we go away weeks are spent making sure everything is totally perfect so we don't have to worry about anything and then things happen we have no control over

In January we came back to a blocked sink, a light bulb out on the car and a mysteriously dead microwave

I have to say I am really grateful to you, you seem to have our bad luck as well as yours (and a whole load of others' as well :eek:)

Oh mhoc....that's terrible. What a homecoming:o are you going to go through your insurance company?

Zippy only asked yesterday if anyone ever managed to empty their freezer:o

The thing with freezer food is there's no alternative to throwing it all out. At least you got rid of the mess quickly:o

Have you got the postcode......I mean barcode:D

It will help:)

Sorry, didn't see this last night as I went to bed.

I'll have a look when I get home from work - hopefully it won't be too late.

It all depends on the LL and how they do reference checks.
One set of our tenants have just moved out and given us as referees to a large letting agent...the questions asked were basic and rather wishy washy....how long have they lived at the property...have any rent payments been split or late...and would we rent to them again....that was it!

There is no set questions it 's just whatever they feel they can get away with asking...and from your point of view if you are being asked the questions my advice is stick to the facts,and be concise.

Although once someone has moved into a property its possibly a little late to be obtaining a reference...Mhoc...I though he moved a while back?
In that case someone may contact you but it seems little "after the event" IMO...and it can be by email post or phone....most of our ref requests are usually received via email as its quicker

good morning all....I'm still around but this week I'm doing LL things getting ready for a property to re rent...so today It's the garden!!!!
The tenants moved out over the weekend and whilst they have left things so so its not as clean and tidy as when they moved in.....they have cleaned,its not dirty but it's also not clean if that makes sense...so this week its my job to make it all sparkle again!
