OK....a few other landlords could be good for this chat too. I'll send a link to the associations maybe they can set some myths to rest about what they do.

Bazdaa....clearly you're bitter about your experience.....and by airing your opinions it allows us to see it from both angles...thank you for that. I take on board what your saying but if enough tradesman decides to do something about landlords I dont think there would be much to stop the...

Bazdaa - This is not about being told what to do by an association. Associations are there for a reason. To look after your interest. I am part of an association and they dont lay down the law. Theyre there to support all. OK, some are better than others. I am merely suggesting that...

Also sent a press release to the NLA about forging better alliances between the sectors.

I agree this will prove of interest to the community...I have some fight to sort this industry out but not enough to do this alone. Please mind your P&Q on this particular chat as I have sought government backing on this matter. Yes Freddie, Handbags are out! But please do not chain yourself...

Once again Softus.....Thank you. Its hard to remain objective, positive and realistic and do the right thing when in this situation. Going to a solicitor will make sure that I am being fair in resolving this issue without clouding the situation.

The law as it stands is the lasts contract signed wins it. however, which one was signed last if they were both on the same day. No time, just date stamped.

Lets just say a landlord was on the list. Theirs an issue with the builder. His association can be contacted by you to resolve the issue. Any communication will be logged and therefore a history around your tradesman is built. And vice versa. Prob with landlord...call the association they...

Not right now....but the way the relations are between the 2 sectors it would provide reassurance to the tradesman and vice versa. Associations are used to boost credibility. Non quoting is a known tactic if the grapevine has spoken locally. But with more and more support services being made...

Bazdaa....are you registered with a landlord association? Would you consider it? I know some associations have their own listings of tradesmen advertising with them. However, the table can turn....so check if he's part of a body too....ie Fairtrades / Mastercrafts man. Even those in the paper...

May I suggest you use the fresh pair in your diamond encrusted (cubic zircona - I wont tell) clutchbag. And those earrings you wore to your last coming out party would look a dream too. And no.....we all say your bum does not look big in it...GO GIRL!!!!! :lol: Idle Banter makes a change.

Apologise Bazdaa....I misunderstood the comment. However, this guy is clearly a rogue and no tenant should be subjected to the landlord tampering with electrics and gas appliances anyway. So I stand by what I said. I have some great landlords on contract and I have been there when the have to...

:oops: LOL. Dont forget your best frock and your Steel-Capped Stillettos.

What would be more amusing is if you did it Freddie :lol: Freddie the honeytrap

Bazdaa....Thats appaulling. I would not wish this man on anyone....even someone who thinks he can not be duped. This is peoples livelyhood.... WOW....An interesting comment....but as they say Behaviour breeds behaviour.....Im not even going to go there with you :!:

What I suspect is that there are a lot of landlord associations for student private accomodations / council....Its a big job to get their buy in and push them do make them accountable. But im sure, once the list grows and it gets some weight behind it...it will be enough to shame them into...

its already started. Currently have my landlords listed. And guess who is getting the do not recommend.... :lol:

ok guys, legal matters can get people all fired up. So, I suggest a coffee.... Id rather we were all on the same side.

I dont think that we should have an untrusting relationship. Tradesmen get vetted all the time, so lets turn it on its head and have the landlords vetted to. Only going for landlords that can be accountable to an association is possibly the way forward.

I am currently working on forging an alliance with landlords associations. I have also started a poll to list landlords by county and for tradesmen to rate them if they have done work for them. That info will be made available to the associations. Ultimately identifying those that you do...
