Thieving chumpoids

[Jo]

Well annoyed, just came up to my house in Lancaster where we have had cleaners in and the scatty little gets have nicked all my food, drink and cleaning stuff!

Sent a proper nasty email to my landlord explaining that I am less than chuffed at the unacceptable behaviour of his employees and that I expect to be reimbursed :laugh:

I just can't stand people nicking my stuff, especially when I was quite looking forward to a nice cold can of lager and some doritos :cry:

Anyone else want to vent their anger here?

My landlord last week didn't pay his gas bill and we got cut off. I had no hot water for four days. What a fecking tosspot. What does he do with my money? He certainly doesn't fix the dishwasher that hasn't worked in the 18 months I've been here :mad:

Ahh, I like a good rant :) Thanks Jo.

[Jo]

My pleasure.

I also emailed my landlord a few weeks ago after I'd been up here to inform him that the bathroom ceiling was falling in and the whole room stank of piss. Has he done anything? Has he bollocks like. What a spanner, he can fix the curtain rail in my room though can't he and get thieving scumbags to come and steal my bleach :angryfire

[BARNETFAN1]

We just didn't pay the last 4 months rent. ****ing useless he was.

Yes, when i lived in Lancaster (in what at first glance looked like a nice student house) part of the bathroom ceiling came down and plaster fell off the wall cos of a leak in the water tank. The damage reached the whole way down to the kitchen but would the lazy landlord do anything about it. Would he bollocks!

Also, when we lived on campus i'm sure our cleaners used to help themselves to whatever they found in the kitchen. I was found them drinking cuppa's of OUR tea! Cheeky cows!


Jo, your landlords not called Steve Ashby is he?

*** A Rental Rant (a rantal?) ***

Our landlady's been promising us a new bathroom for over a year now. It was in a right state when we moved in. Well, the whole house was, really. When she told me on the phone that she'd hired professional cleaners, I told her she should get her money back. She assumed I'd meant 'from the previous tenants'. I didn't. There is NO WAY that place had even had a hoover run round it for, well, months. We hired a carpet cleaning machine the first week we were there, and you should have seen all the crap *that* kicked out. But the bathroom was the only room that actually made me physically sick. If someone had told me the previous tenants had died of skin-rot or something I would have believed it- no way could they have washed in that bathroom and actually got any cleaner. When the toilet bowl is thickly coated with a mysterious greeny brown residue and that's the cleanest thing in there... Maybe they just didn't wash. It took me six hours before the fittings began to look slightly white again. Foul, foul people. They were also (from what we can tell) heavy smokers who were too lazy for ash-trays... well, why use an ash-tray when there's a perfectly good carpet you can stub everything out on? So our lounge is pitted with little black circles. Oh, and a big iron print in the back bedroom where the carpet's been melted into hard plastic. Thank feck for giant rugs.

I think they used to fight, as well. There were a number of exciting-looking stains on the walls that *might* be from flung coffee-cups. We've painted them out now... and that was a disaster as well. The decor left a lot to be desired. Take the front room, for instance. Bored of carpets? Why not paint the floorboards? BLACK? And that's not the worst of it. There was a lot of junk furniture in there which we cleared out, including a big dirty rug on the floor. When we lifted it up, there was a big patch of bare floorboards underneath it. Yep- too lazy to paint the whole floor, they'd painted ROUND things. They'd also got a job lot of textured wallpaper, covered the walls AND THE CEILING, and painted it mint green (looked lovely with the black floor, that did). And when we took the nasty stuff down to paint, half the plaster fell off the walls. Gah.

Now the place is actually quite nice (apart from that bathroom), but we're always finding little reminders of how STUPID the previous tenants are. They tiled round the fireplace using blu-tack as a fixative, FFS...

:laugh: Classic.

:laugh:

I went into the bathroom last night to be confronted with (no lie here) the biggest spider I've ever seen, it was a FREAK! So coming to the conclusion that I really HAD to use the bathroom, I went and boiled the kettle and poured it on the bastard.
Normally, they like to battle back for a while but this one just gave in and stood still so I eventually plucked up the courage to put a cup over it.
It's still there because I daren't move just in case 1. the spider is still alive or 2. the spider is not there :eek:

Got an email from my landlord this morning saying he is very sorry for my losses but on the plus side, he has cut the ivy at the back of the house. Bovvered?!
Always doing stupid bloody jobs that don't even need doing - never mind the massive bugger of a bush obstructing the front door, we'll just fanny about playing with ivy. Dickweed

[Peel_Acres]

Jo, whose your landlord? Just curious cos i rented for 2 years in Lancaster when i was at uni and i had a couple of awful landlords

[Jo]

He's called Ian Burden but we have to call him Mr. Burden :eek:

[Peel_Acres]

My landlord was the impressively name Lancaster Property Services, which was actually just one guy called Steve who was crap.

Where about are you living in Lancaster?

[Jo]

Practically opposite the train station. Nice house, just needs a bit of re-decoration!
Ideal location though

Disaster!

Where abouts do you live, Jo?

Where abouts do you live, Jo?.

[NatterJack]

Ha, thanks Jag.

Couldn't be arsed trooping thru the thread as usual.

Well Jo, you live near the marsh and that's asking for trouble! :jester: ;)

[Peel_Acres]

Well Jo, you live near the marsh and that's asking for trouble! :jester: ;)

Exactly, I lived down near Sainsbury's for a year and then moved out to Scotforth, it was much nicer there! My friends lived on the edge of the Marsh, got broken into 4 times in one year! :eek:

[NatterJack]

The marsh is pretty scummy - only the other week there was a mini riot where a load of 18yr olds went on a mission to destroy the neighbourhood, smashing up windows and cars. Fools. The best bet would be near the canal I'd say. Nice area, too.

[argyle-ive]

The North sounds grim!

15CM - you should tell everyone about what happens when the back of the house gets damp!!! :eek:

[Jo]

Now there is a big puddle of water on top of the dryer and I just can't work out where it's coming from and the smoke alarm is beeping away like there's no tomorrow - does that mean the battery is low?

[Peel_Acres]

the smoke alarm is beeping away like there's no tomorrow - does that mean the battery is low?

No, it means your house is on fire :eek:

[argyle-ive]

No, it means your house is on fire :eek:

I've called 999

Not a chance. Some things are better left unsaid.
