Yes it's a moneysaving forum. But not a crooks educational forum.

The moneysaving tips offered, both on Martin's main site and on this forum, are all legal tips.

The main site does not advise how to get away with criminal activity like theft, nor how to avoid paying debts owed under civil law.

Out of interest I did a quick google to see if I could find you a more appropriate forum, but this was the closest I could find:

Added to which - the further take on the moral aspect is you won't stand a hope in hell of marrying/living with or even dating any moral woman.

The OP did a !!!!!! thing and I have no sympathy, but this is a ridiculous response. Why assume the OP wants to marry, live with, or date a woman? Maybe the OP prefers men. Maybe the OP prefers being single.

OP, you landlord paid the consequences of renting to a student with no life history who hadn't grown a sense of duty and responsibility yet.

You are now facing the consequences that renting might become very difficult for you because of the actions, or lack of, you chose to take.

What do you want? For anyone to tell you that it is ok for others to face the consequences of your irresponsibility but that you shouldn't and others should give you a chance? Why?

Will renting with an agency bring something up? Obviously I'd avoid the agency I was with, but do they communicate with each other? Put people on a black list?

Will the answers you get here change your plan? If there is a blacklist, will you just live with mum and dad forever? Will you pay what you owe if there's a blacklist but not if there isn't? (Hint: moral considerations aside, if I were in charge of a renters' blacklist, I wouldn't remove someone's name when they paid their arrears two years later.)

Find a moral compass

Really?

Yet him without sin cast the first stone and all that...

While I don't agree what the OP is proposing to do, everyone getting on their high horse about it is only feeding. Answering the actual question will not only answer the question, but will also give less "joy" to the "troll".

Plus, people don't have morals these days. I've said it plenty of times in the past, I just bought my house and it was riddled with hidden problems the previous owner neglected to mention, even when asked...

It's highly likely the LL has many homes and is not getting behind in their own mortgage.


OP: One outcome might be if they write to you at your parents address. If you really don't want to pay, just leave it and try to forget it.
If you can't forget, that's a little thing called concience. The only way to truely forget it, is pay it.

Thank you all for your heart felt responses. You have all touched me in a way I never expected. I thank you for that, and I have now made the most noblest of decisions and I now endeavour to right my wrongs and fight in the name of love. God bless you all, fellow money saving experts.

I thought you were all money saving experts, not high riding knights poking your moral lances at me. If you want to give somebody a refresher in morality I suggest you turn your heads to arms dealers, drug smugglers, people traffickers, politicians, bankers and any other group with an immoral twitch.
Not me. I'm not interested.
Others, who answered my questions, thank you for not letting your emotions come over you. I respect that.

What do you want to hear? That it's OK not to pay rent because of Bernie Madoff, Manuel Noriega, and the Chicken Man of Elizabeth, New Jersey.

With an attitude like that you won't get very far in life.
I pity any LL who takes you on with your shady past of not paying rent and giving false information.

I'm afraid I don't see the connection?

You rent a property, cheat the landlord out of the money due to to him and then have the front to want to try renting another property from another unsuspecting landlord.

I rather hope that there is a blacklist for tenants and that you will be on it.
