Greedy fucking landlords are cunts.
As some cunters may know, I’m planning on relocating, and to that end I have been searching for a room to rent whilst I wait for my mortgage application to be sorted out.
I finally find a room that I’m interested in, and arrange to chat with the landlord about going through the requisite legal stuff in order to secure it.
It is during the course of these discussions that the landlord casually mentions that he wants £20 to perform the credit check, despite credit check fees being banned in 2019 under the Tenant Fees Act.
When challenged on this, he claimed that the fee fell under ‘payments capped at £50 for the variation , assignment or novation of a tenancy’ – none of which, at least according to my research, have ANYTHING to do with performing a credit check.
Needless to say, I declined the room and have decided to go with my backup option instead, which, whilst slightly more run down, is cheaper and with a well known lettings agent, and has no such hidden fees.
Unfortunately, however, some poor gullible idiot who isn’t as well informed will probably take the cunt of a landlord at his word.

I honestly don’t think he was expecting me to be educated.

I agree cuntish landlords are cunts.
But paying £20 for a supposed credit check, to get a better accomodation, rather than save £20 is a bit nose/spite/face.
They are still a cunt though

Hope its all working out for you Opey?
Know you’ve started the new job.
£20 is a small gamble at the risk of suitable accommodation, I’d personally pay it.
Up north eh,?
Beautiful innit?
Friendly people, great local food,
Give it a month you’ll be wearing a flat cap and renting a whippet😁
Hope it all works out 👍

Cheers, Mis. Yeah, I obviously had a couple days of moping around and missing the family but I’ve since settled in nicely. Both my parents are from South Yorkshire so it just felt right to build a life up here myself.

Good for you mate.
Grab it with both hands.
Best wishes MNC

It’s less about the fee itself, and more about the idea of what other shit he may have tried further down the line.

A man needs principles.
Well done, young man!

Cheers. As it turns out my alternative accommodation isn’t terrible – few drawers etc are broken but it’s fairly clean and the shower and mattress are adequate enough.

Avaricious Landlords may well be Cunts…..but some tenants can be moaning fucking Cunts too.
Nothing against you,OC but if I’d been the landlord, I’d have probably thought that I’d dodged a bullet when you went elsewhere.

He probably does think that yes, considering he realised I actually did my research beforehand.

Isn’t our current Chancellor and one of our possible new leaders, Nadhim Zahawi, a multimillionaire landlord? Look forward to getting financially arse fucked by him, too.

Family members have had dealings with private landlords and I can vouch for the fact that most of them are low-lifes.There are several reasons why the scum-bags thrive. First is that the mortgage lenders demand huge deposits which prevent most people under the age of thirty buying a home and they are forced into the private rental market. Another is that the legislation banning whatever rip-off fees the landlord cares to levy is not worth the paper (or vellum?) it is written on since the landlord can evict any tenant at short notice without giving reason. So if a tenant raises the most minor complaint or the landlord decides he doesn’t like the colour of their eyes any more he just throws them out. But underpinning it all is the disparity between supply and demand. If there was sufficient supply to meet demand tenants could tell the landlords in which hole to stick their overpriced run down properties. And this is down to our fucking useless I’m-all-right-Jack fuck you politicians. Persuading half the Europeans to fuck off home helped and that of course was down to the electorate voting for Brexit, which we all know was the opposite of what the vast majority of the politicians wanted (or expected, HaHa!). However the big builders are sitting on huge areas of land where they have permission to build, because it jacks up the prices they can charge for the shoe boxes they are building and they are not paying out builder’s wages or anything else on the undeveloped plots. They have all kinds of fatuous excuses when tackled on this but I bet you that if planning permission expired after 12 months you would see a significant improvement in their behaviour.
Sorry I’ve rambled on a bit but in conclusion I feel this is yet another area where the politicians richly deserve the opprobium heaped upon them.

And I want to associate myself with the other cunters and wish you the very best of luck OC.

I recommend coming over the US southern border and getting free accommodations. You may want to learn Spanish.

We’ve been renting for a couple of years and it’s been shit. The list of problems with the last house are too numerous to mention, but let’s leave things there by saying half the kitchen was demolished due to a water leak for the last 4 months of our lease. Fucking landlord did nothing about it, then gave us notice to vacate. Then had the kitchen re-modelled with insurance money. Then flogged the house for loadsamoney, despite there being multiple things still wrong with it. Bastard cunt.
The house we’re in now is better, but not without its issues. The landlord doesn’t seem to understand that preventative maintenance is actually a thing. Plus he’s as ignorant as the day is long and just doesn’t seem to get what a landlord is supposed to do. Am I surprised since it comes from Curryland? Nope. Penny pinching piece of crap. They’re all like that. Cunt.

There is one of these cunts in Cardiff who is a noted slum lord, i used to know someone who used to be a council surveyor and used to have to shut this cunts flats and hovels down until he had completed necessary to make these horrible places habitable.
Our hero used to get death threats and all sorts of other agro from our Tikkitakky landlord all the time, the best bit is he has a huge house on a well to do street, the only saving grace is it has wall and security lights and now looks like a fucking German prisoner of war camp, i can only presume its to protect his little brown neck from all his tenents who want to do the chubby little Mogli cunt some serious damaaage ..
Good enough for the cunt, i bet he,s also claiming every benefit in the book the peice of shit…..
