Reader Requests I Remove Article Where I Call My Tenant A Bitch

The other day I received an email from a disgruntled reader called Sophie. I don’t usually humour myself on other people’s misery, but this unreasonable woman was being ridiculous, so I was pleased to make an exception.

Sophie basically requested me to remove a particular article from my website because it personally offended her. On a sidenote, if I removed every article that offended someone, this website would be an empty shell. Sad, but true.

In the past, I’ve had two people requesting the banishment of particular articles. Actually, wasn’t so much of a request, it was more of a, “remove the articles or we’ll take you to court” deal. They claimed the shit I was saying was libel and affecting their business. While I didn’t agree with their claims, I understood WHY they wanted me to remove the particular articles. Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand the request in question today…

The Bitch (My Tenant) Finally Paid Her Rent

Please remove this article from your website. It shows a terrible relationship between a landlord and a tenant. I’m really offended that a property website can let a landlord call his tenant “The Bitch”

Just to clarify, my ex-tenant IS a bitch. That was no lie.

The article was meant to show a terrible relationship between a landlord and tenant because that’s exactly what it was, a terrible f’ing situation. I’m glad I got my point across.

I genuinely hope my ex-tenant is curled up in a dark alley somewhere, with a needle sticking out of her arse, and an oversized dildo exploding out of her nostrils.

My ex-tenant did the following:

• Didn’t pay rent for 2 months
• Received Housing Benefits (which was meant to pay her rent)
• Ignored my phone calls
• Intentionally wanted me to evict her so she could get a council house ASAP
• Constantly lied
• Constantly made excuses

Now, if that doesn’t justify me calling my tenant a bitch, I don’t know what does. Most landlords that has to endure that kind of bullshit from a tenant would also agree, I’m confident about that.

My main concern is that there are decent and unfortunate people out there that deserve benefits, and scum-bags like her are not doing any of those people any favours at all. It’s already extremely difficult for DSS tenants to find accommodation, and she’s only making it more difficult for decent DSS tenants to get housing.

I’m not convinced Sophie actually read the article, or the related articles, but if she did… she’s a cock for telling me to remove it. I still feel inclined to believe that she only read the “title” of the article, hence her unjustified email.

Sophie shouldn’t take it upon herself to feel offended by the attack I made against my tenant because it wasn’t a generalised attack against tenants, it was a very targeted and very specific attack, hence why the title of the article says, “My Tenant”. The article isn’t representing all tenant/landlord relationships.

I’m surprised I even have to spoon-feed people this kind of shit because it’s self-implied that this is my blog and I document MY experiences with my tenants.

So, if Sophie or any other reader wants to carry the burden of feeling offended by that article, that’s their own personal psychological demon.

They publish our names all over the internet as being bad landlors...what about them being bad tenants! Uh, yeah. They can demand to break their lease without penalty, pay rent 3 weeks late yet we r the horrible landlords. The thing is I'm a people please n try to help however they take advantage. They aren't used to be old no. Would there be any conflict if you just did what the agreement was? I absolutely hate tenants! 2

Hez wrote this on 2010-02-10 18:40:52 the reason you get hatemail is because of your DISGUSTING attitude, the constant references you make to torturing/killing tenants, the way you speak about them as if they are a lower life form just because they live in your house (they pay your fucking mortgage you lazy fuck) 4

Hez wrote this on 2010-02-10 18:42:27 you have SERIOUS problems, you should get mental help 5

Hez wrote this on 2010-02-10 18:48:17 just the very fact that you think you have any right to comment on anyones life in such a way shows that you have no morals and clearly you think you are some higher life form than tenants. you are a horrible, horrible, creepy person. you spend FAR too much time fantasising about torture and death. please get a grip 6

personally i think thats an equally fair comment 7

Matt wrote this on 2010-08-20 19:42:17 Hez.. get a life and understand there are 2 sides to every story.

If a tenant does not pay their rent for 2 months then they are in the wrong and the landlord has the right to bitch about them (they are afterall out of pocket)

You are also taking sides by caling the landlord a lazy fuck. How do you know that he doesn't work hard for a living like most of us do!

I Sit on the fence... if the landlord treats his tenants badly then I would call them an arse, equally if the tenant is bad (I guess a bitch is more appropriate for a female!)

Suggest you try to look at things from an equal angle! 8
