At last, ive fucking done it!!!!!!!!!

[getyerkneedow...]

You may recall a wee while ago i posted this thread:

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=71904&highlight=housemate

Well those who posted decent posts on it, will be pleased to hear that i have today carried out the advice given to me by the majority of you.

I informed him that he had 1 weeks notice before he needs to vacate the property.

I checked with my solicitior, and he confirmed that my propsal was indeed fully legal.

As i am a resident land lord, the only notice i need to give the tenant is that which is stipulated in my contractual agreement between us both.

Since i posted the thread, he has continued to not pull his weight around the house, and he leaves me owing a total of no less than £319.71.

This consists of £58 rent arrears, £130 rent due for february, £24 council tax, and his portion of the utility bill which ive paid, and he has not paid his share.

I've informed him that he should endevour to repay his dues to me, and that failure to do so will result in me selling his debt to a professional debt collection agency.

He's currently upstairs crying.

I have advised him, as a person to person, that instead of pondering on the negatives of his situation, he should instead think of the postives, and sit down, work it out in a logical fashion, and decide what his priorities are, and how he can resolve the situation hes rapidly finding himself in.

I tell ya.. its a huge relief of my shoulder.

THanks to all who gave advise and words of support.

On a postive note, i sign contract tomorrow night with a new tenant for my other property. Its been sat vacant for the best part of 6 months now, and im so glad that the end is in sight - of course though, until theres signatures on paperwork, and a firm hand shake.. the deal isnt classed as done.

Either way, im looking to the future.

You should have stuck to yer guns and got him 'on the game' as you said at first.

Good job, did you get a new flatmate then?

I am genuinely intrigued as to how these threads get resurrected.

I guess you did a search for 'land lord' or something similar, but then why search for that just to post some bollocks... ?

I think a lot of them get resurrected by spammers, but the spam post is removed by a mod.
The thread is now up on the first page, all it takes is for someone not to notice the date and reply.

In these circumstances, it might be nice for the mod who did the spam-deletion to add a note on the thread saying something like 'resurrected by spammer, no need to reply'.

I, too, am getting pist off reading redundant threads that have been bumped for no good reason. Surely there is some punitive action that can be taken against these bumpers by the site moderators?

BTW Did you get a new flatmate?

Problem is, that if a new post is added, then it keeps it up.

While locking the thread just leaves people creating threads asking why the thread is locked and moaning about 'the man' .

I have suggested something that warns people if a thread only has a few posts in the last hours with previous posts to that being much older .

[P.]

Or, make all posts that are 30 days old highlighted in red or orange or some other garish colour. Or have [REDUNDANT THREAD] placed at the front of the subject

Anyone that resurrects it gets 50% karma bash

[nop]

Perhaps if everyone stopped posting in the thread it would no longer be bumped?

[SlimRick]

[hellbound]

I agree


Lets stop posting
