    I wouldn't want you as my landlord. You start from the assumption that tenants are scum. Your tenants are likely to end up assuming that LLs are scum. If you started from the assumption that tenants were human, some better than others, and they had the same assumption about LLs, then the chances are that it would all go a lot more smoothly.

    It seems to me that the OP was compensated sensibly by a LL who had made a mistake, realised it, and doesn't want to lose a tenant who has a stable income and pays the rent.

    Tenants have little repect (if any) for other people's property
    Not all of us :jI'd go as far as to say OH and I have *more* respect for landlord's property, because it's not ours!

    You need some nicer tenants. :p
  • Apologies. I should have said SOME tenants.

    I have had 4 sets of tenants. One was dirty, filthy scum, another had a cat that ruined a lounge carpet and the two most recent have been model tenants.
