My landlord served notice on me after 13 years, I’m moving home next month. He is a greedy little cunt, constantly tried to pressure me to refurbish his property for him despite me being the tenant. Last time I asked for a minor repair, he immediately notified the letting agent that he would be putting my rent up this coming October. Regardless, I agreed the new price, only to still be served notice on (I assume because he knows he can get a slightly higher rent by getting a brand new tenant in, rather than an increase).
Genuinely though I was tempted to do some redecorating. This is (for now) my home. It sucks living in a rundown home; the wallpaper / carpets in this house afaik are at least 25 years old. But when you get ‘too demanding’ then you suddenly find yourself out of a home.
A landlord was being shitty to someone and it was clear he wouldn’t get his deposit back no matter what, so when the renter moved, he took everything. Meaning he unscrewed the plugs from the wall and took those with him, took the toilet seat and so on. Play stupid games, win stupid prices I guess.
Wow, that’s some nuclear revenge. I’m about to do something similar (though legal). When I moved into this property, the curtain poles were crappy & had sellotape for pelmets; one ‘curtain’ was a bedsheet, another was some pathetic gossamer thin material; no shower curtain, crappy showerhead. They’re all going back up before I leave, for sure.
