| Comment | I lived in Greenock about 20 years ago and actually knew someone that rented on of these flats - at that time they were rundown and junkies everywhere.
The side of the flats facing the main road, not the motorway - were/are nice - nice red sandstone bricks.
I watched a video on utube a couple of years ago showing the inside of the flats - the flat they showed had no floor boards and could see the living room in the flat below., not just a small hole to see down thru, actual no floorboards at all.
The mindset of absentee landlords are/is - I don't give a fuck of the property I rent out is falling apart, as long as I get my money, and as long as my home/area is nice and well maintained.
I remember some landlord from Aberdeen was renting out a flat in Glasgow and put a money timer thingy on the shower so the tenants had to put in 20p to get15mins worth of water (or whatever length of time it was). Im sure he got removed from the landlord registration and not allowed to rent out again, but I'm sure that would be full of loopholes. |
