You can say that. Hyde Park is full of gypsies from Romania, sleeping rough, authorities are helpless trying to evict them, many are given incentives to go back, free air tickets, and they keep coming back to pick pocket London tourists, they wouldn't mind efl impudence's property full of damp...

So regardless of materials used outside, why did a 24 story building not have a proper Fire Alarm system when the LA impose a proper wired up fire alarm with a control panel on 3 story HMOs, which are a lot smaller than high rise blocks? So why force private landlords of HMO to install a BS...

There is nothing to be shocked about this John, there are plenty of legislation LA can use against a bad and exploiting landlord, why make any new and duplicate laws? that is why it was voted out.

will you be happy to rent it to 12 cats, they would be very pleased with this especially when they can have rats for meal! and damp does not bother them. As a matter of fact, I know lots of Romanian people who would be over the moon to have a place like that, believe me! If they are happy to...

Ok fair enough I did a bit of a grumble to side with the good responsible landlords, not all landlords are scum landlords as many would have you believed. My idea was to invest in a property and keep it empty but was forced to become a landlord.

John, I am not grumbling, it is part of the risk of renting, but why tarnish all landlords with the same brush? as a responsible landlord, most of my tenants are very decent, would not allow me to leave without me joining then on a table for a dinner! but you do get across one or two every say...

Exactly Transam, I tell my tenants that they are paying me rent to live in my property respectfully and they have no right to abuse my property, or to start kicking the place to bits or I will throw them out simple as that, Housing Act 1988 applies to both tenants as well as landlords, now that...

Really John, thanks, are you a landlord? I suppose you are not as you haven't got a clue what landlords have to put up with. As for less stressful form of investment, I bought this property as my long term retirement investment, so i did not want to rent it out, as I realised that over a long...

yes I am also wondering why only his fridge exploded on a power surge, as \i said who knows the truth, was he a terrorist preparing a bomb? did he keep chemicals in his fridge? and why did they not alert other residents, who could then have alerted most others like a chain of command, since...

Two days before the fire in that tower, my stupid tenants keep removing or disconnecting the 9V pp3 battery from a smoke detector in a lobby next to the kitchen, because it goes off when they are cooking, many a times they don't bother switching on extractor fan, so i took this smoke detector...

Most high rise buildings are constructed with dry internal walls, a recipe for rapid fire break through to other sections of the building, There is a thing about tenants and landlords, both carry responsibility, landlord's cannot do anything about the stupidity of tenants except seek court...

Trouble is, a chute idea may work when there are fewer people, but if suddenly everyone takes to a chute, there can be worst case of fatalities and injuries as people down below get crushed by those landing on top of them, and how would you arrange a systematic evacuation, if you take a single...

I saw that one night scene where every window was glowing red hot, almost unbelievable and looked like a lit lantern!

Not only that, but it now means that if any such materials and methods have been used on other towers, they will all need to be taken down and redone in more suitable materials, which means someone will have to pay for it again! higher local taxes! as these are council owned and run properties.

They spent 10million on refurb last year, that worked out at £85,000 for each of the 120 flats, sounds a lot of money for a refurb, and when you think how it ended up in a complete disaster.. I am sure there will be hundreds of lessons we would be learning and we will have to meet new rules...

Yes all automatics have override on starter via the selector leaver, unless it was in P or N position, but assuming you have power leaving ignition and nothing is suspected with the selector switches, the current can only then be interrupted by an immobiliser, there after it should reach the...

Check if I understood your requirement: You want a 24hr timer and thermostat combination , where the timer comes on once a day at a specific time, for a very short period just to knock the heating system on, then when the water temperature reaches 52c, the system switches off until it gets...

I have 12 cats, half of them rescued from streets, abandoned by humans, none insured against serious illness, or large vet bill, if I insured every cat, it would cost me around £15 a month per cat, so that over a year would cost me £2160.00 with access charge of £200 for each cat needing...

Here is a latest example of how one insurance company want your money but will try and talk you out of a claim when the crunch comes, and will find sleaziest of excuses to avoid paying you any claim, thus proving my point they are there to rip you off instead of covering a risk...

I can almost certainly relate my problem to computer age, we are becoming lazy.
