Topic: The small things in life that make you happy

[fridgepants]

In some mould ridden damp place that the landlord refused to improve 👍

We have a really good landlady at the moment who doesn't charge stupid money (she could probably advertise the place for double the rent when we move out as the area has become irritatingly trendy since we moved in) and treats us like adults rather than naughty children asking for a favour, and I really wish this was the norm for everyone. This is why I've been dreading potentially having to move every year, especially when I see how prices are rising in our area, as we have it about the best we can as renters.

I was woken up at 6.50 this morning with the smell of someone smoking weed outside our building, but it's not the landlady's fault that some people start the party early.

Our circumstances are a little weird as I'm a landlord and also a tenant so I see both sides.  I just want them to feel it's their home for however long they want it and enjoy being there.

You sound like a breath of fresh air in the housing rental market.

My cousin is the same. He rents out two properties and is a damned good land lord. Never overcharges. If anything, he undercharges.

I just hope they're happy now they're out of the hell hole they've been trying to get out of for 4yrs but I'm a gullible mother fucker and far too trusting so I have to hope that people are genuine although I'm generally a decent judge of characters 😁

Well I certainly hope they're genuine, and good tenants. To the genuine, people like you are worth their weight in gold.

We had a great landlord in London. She never increased the rent in 5 years, which was pretty low anyway for a flat nr Wimbledon with a garden and near a couple of tube stations, and she sent our deposit back as soon as we left with no deductions for carpet cleaning and all that bollocks. If anything needed fixing, she'd send a tradesperson round no quibbles or corner cutting. When the new tenants moved in, she only increased it by £50. She just wanted good tenants.

Similar when we lived in Plymouth where we had a two bed flat, with coastal views of Plymouth Sound and Drake's Island, and near the old town/harbour (Barbican), for £600 a month. I saw it listed the other year and they must have sold it as it's been refurbished but with the rent more than doubled.

She sounds great, Peebs. Are you sure it wasn't Debbs? 😃

We had a landlady back in the day who didn’t put up our rent in 6 years. Then, when one of the lads moved out and we couldn’t find anyone to take his room, she actually knocked over half of his share off our overall rent to keep us on. They’re not all bastards.

Going on a long walk where you can see all the landmarks around your town from the path. Including the boathouse where my grandad took me out on the Thames in his little rowboat when I was a kid

[paulrazor]

Yeah mate of mine has been treated shabbily by his landlord. Handed in his notice and found somewhere cheaper. Said a few months ago his rent went up for no reason.

Recently the landlord visited. My mate isn't a trouble maker but said he actually came.close to decking him he was so rude. He's seriously considering leaving a massive.dump in one room

Anyway. Back on this thread

When out running and another runner coming the other way gives you a wave. Always like that. Reminds me ofbus drivers

2. Playing with my new dad toy: a Bosch extendable pole hedge trimmer on our massive Leylandii that we really should get cut down and get some sunlight.

Grabbing a couple of tickets for an evening with our great manager Klopp.

Hopefully the tears will not be joining me.

She seems to be happy enough.

If she's having fun and not affecting the busker (nor taking money he'd have got), then no probs.

I have absolutely no problem with people being happy and enjoying themselves. Mind you it wasn't something I would have expected to see just after 9am when I was having a day in Edinburgh last month.

Maybe hasn't sobered up from the night before, who knows.

Your post was at 6:41am, so yes, he had you up and standing by your bed giving him a salute at 6:30.

Congratulations to him. He's doing well, isn't he.

Well done.

So when does she start? I assume there’s a lengthy training period before she actually starts dispensing?

I'm going to be a great aunt again but to my nephew who nobody thought would ever have kids.  Seems his 40th birthday celebrations in Scotland have a lot to answer for 😂😂😂
