Comment | I now own, but I was ripped off by landlords for more than 10 years. I'm sure there are great ones out there somewhere, but the ones I encountered were very dodgy.
Once I was flooded by the neighbours upstairs, and it ruined the flat - the wallpaper was left hanging off the walls, carpets were soaked and began to stink, damp patches on the ceiling. Like an idiot I lived like that for three months - paying full rent which he later bragged earned him £150 a month after covering his mortgage - before he got it sorted.
The dampness must have softened the plaster in the walls, and one of the radiators literally fell out, causing another leak. He claimed I must have pulled it out and kept my deposit. He was a dodgy bastard - claimed to have come to the UK with nothing, yet fifteen years later he owned nine properties! LOL Always smoking a spliff, too. |
