£350 pm to put up a Ukrainian refugee

[transam]

Do people who take a lodger(s) have landlord responsibilities? If not, then there is no problem. Those who think it's a bad idea won't rest until those who do, 'see the light' and agree with them.

if you rent out a room in a house and said house has a gas appliance that the lodger technically has access to than you need a gas safety certificate

all is explained on line

Rent out a room in a prop and you have responsibilities for safety and all that caper

gas
Leccy
Appliances that they may use

Are showers thermostatic
Scalding

will children have access to certain things are there

smoke alarms ??

co detectors ???

ect ect

I can't see any of that will apply, when we have friends or family come to stay we don't have to do that. Whether it's 6 days or 6 months, they're just guests.

totally different scenario

you take in a refugee you are being paid to do so from what I can make of it

the legal beagles will have to decide as to the definition

as to what there status / definition is

unlikely freinds or family will sue you any way ??

You haven't met my family.

 

[transam]

During the peak of This covid caper when we were all in lock down

the HSE refused to suspend Land lords having to have gas safety inspections

think they suspended MoTs ??? For a while

suspended / delayed ACS exams / tests for gas installers that were due

And Billions went to people/firms claiming 'furlough' payments.....For example just the first payment (£7500) would pay for 21 months of hosting for a refugee...

That's the SEISS. You still keep getting confused between that and the furlough scheme. It's finished now so I won't waste any more time trying to educate you on 'businessy' things that you clearly have no knowledge of.

It is an emergency situation, which needs emergency measures to resolve. In emergency situations many rules have to be forgotten.

That sounds like something Boris Johnson would say to the police...

Yes. We had already decided to help before the £350 a month was announced. We are just us two, we have a modest house with 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. We can afford this by self-building 26 years ago, in a cheaper area of UK; and with me doing everything to keep it going since. We do ok, far from loaded. We live in a great country, where you can call the PM a **** to his face on national tv and no-one 'comes around' in a black suv for a chat. We have been hard working since our 20s and have a modest pension each.

I don't believe in luck per se, but our accident of birth in Wales means we can help. Our upbringing means we know we should help.

You don't have to. Neither do you have to be a naysayer: try this, "It's not for me, but good luck if you want to". With the covid and Brexit costs we are about to bear, you personally, won't even see the extra 'massive tax hike' you are touting.

Charlie how are things going with the refugees? Have you actually accommodated any yet?

I thought I'd bring it back up as the Ukraine business has been slipping from the news lately and by extension possibly slipping from all our kind thoughts and intentions.

Not from mine, made my usual donation to DEC today, maybe you look at the wrong news channels

Still no word from Ellie about the Ukrainian family they were virtue signalling about taking in a while back. I reckon that faint whiff of an excuse laid down that I smelled in post #64 is going to be their get out of another embarrassment claim card.

Ukrainian moves to Burnley and complains about low wages. Gets no sympathy.

How did he get here in the first place? I thought that men were not allowed to leave Ukraine. Is it because he's not Ukrainian?

It seems to me the journalist has done a stitch up job on somebody who can’t speak much English.


It’s typical fodder to get Xenophobes angry

Perhaps he is a decent, hard-working, educated man, who got used to providing a home and life for his family.

He has moved to a country where wages have not grown in real terms for 12 years, and where workers are often treated like dirt.
