Landlady - am I being unreasonable

I find whilst closing the door when you turn it on prevents damage/wear to the washing machine, for some reason it doesn't get the clothes clean until you close the door.
I found the solution was to remove the glass from the door.
The machine now starts washing the clothes, but I find I need to regularly replace the carpet.
LOL :rotfl::T

But not as much fun.
THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!!!!Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0 -
I've been thinking about this, how about letting the Landlady be there for the gasman and leaving a letter, possibly next to the giant dildo, written from the firm of solicitors that you work for addressed to your flat mate answering as if she has taken legal advice about this batty landllady listing what she has done and giving advice about what to do about it ie and advising her about her rights and what the landlady is not allowed to do and what legally do to stop her interference.
In the letter you could mention about the deposit and how you should have been notified about where it is and that you would be entitiled to claim 3x the amount from the Landlady. You said you were writing to her about the deposit so she will then know she has a problem. This might stop her
Just a thoughtLoretta0 -
Above is brilliant, also put little notes inside the freezer, bin, sink and washing machine saying 'see you are STILL being a nosy cow', then put a note on the table saying bit wobbly when moved - is this normal?
Could you get a sound effect for the cusions so when she plumps up they shout Oi or Ouch

One of my son's student LLs, warned him not to put the dehumidifier on while people were in the house, as it sucked the moisture out of peoples bodies:rotfl:
Apart from that, he was a good LL.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.0 -

No eating in the dining room........much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

yeah we could eat in the room but no more than 4 people at a time.. up to 4 people could do any thing in the room but LL did not want a 5th person joining in in case they put undue stress on the walls!! it was a big room so no problem with overcrowding.
