Just come across this email as was looking for guidence due to the fact that my tenant also set fire to my studio flat and it is totally uninhabitable. The fire started in the bathroom due to the tenant leaving a lighted paper in the bath!!!! Seems like she has moved on and left me with all the shit to sort!!! Still trying to sort out insurance etc.

TB when I read the above I couldn’t believe the same person just a few post earlier had written
“watching your house burn with your scummy tenant inside? On one hand sadness whilst on the other joy unbounded!”

:))))))

I AM only joking :)

Hey Hez,

read your other posts and I understand that you are a war widow. I am sorry for your loss.

Hez – you really have to get a grip. You seem to have missed the point that this is a fairly tongue in cheek website. OK we do take the piss out of each other – tenants as well as landlords but I think that we all know that the stuff about killing tenants is not real. I really don’t think the owner of the site has such psychotic tendancies!

It’s a place where you obviously get stuff off your chest – but if it offends you then you can take the initiative and not visit again!

You think all landlords are, from one of your other diatribes, cunts – however we on the otherside see likewise. It’s called freedom of expression.

you are an psycho. this whole blog site is disgusting. whoever you are, you are an egotistical prick and this site needs taking down. you regularly make references to killing your tenants…..if i were your tenant i would find that slightly worrying. what a creepy landlord…..sits and blogs all day about sick things that he would like to do to his tenants….. you accept their money and let them live in your properties……yet you bad mouth them, call them scum etc. your attitude is disgusting, and its also the attitude that i would expect from a landlord. every single one that i have had the ‘pleasure’ of meeting has been the same. were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? are the properties yours or did your rich daddy buy them for you? the landlord sam who has commented here has a lovely attitude. normal, balanced and calm. whoever writes this blog/articles on this site is the epitome of shite, uncaring landlords. do you know what it means to be human? you must have HUMANITY, compassion for other living things. that is what separates animals from humans. you are not a human.

What a nice man! What a fantastically mellow mantra, ‘better to count rainbows than rain clouds’- am sure you;re right, and clearly a far more centered dude than I. Has she got family she can stay with? It’s like the telly, this isxx

Just came across your post – and as the actual landlord involved felt I should update you –

1. Yes I’m calm – [it not being my fault helps!]
2. Shit happens [you're dealing with people!]
3. I don’t feel the need to strangle the tenant – she has lost all her belongings, had no insurance, has lost her home, and I have heard lately lost her job! [Crikey!]
4. I feel so lucky to have insurance & a nice loss adjustor
5. I still have a bed and a house to sleep in :)

Better to count rainbows than rain clouds :)

Yep, oxymoron. Emphasis on the moron! That poor landlord. I am so freaked by this timely article I am gonna put a new clause in my ‘additional contractual obligations’ sheet – I slap it on tenants as they sign the ssured shorthold,coz I’m paranoid. It shall read:
‘Leaving any candle or tea light unattended is strongly discouraged, and any candle or tea light left burning unattended and/or not in a lantern is prohibited. By signing this additional contract you are agreeing to pay for ANY damages and legal actions incurred by the results of such actions, icluding civil law suits.’
D’you think that covers it?!
