Today I'm angry about.....

[bobo the clown]

Went to pick up post at my house yesterday. In plain View and in breach of our tenancy agreement was a feckin huge ginger tom. Unfortunately for the Tenant, her lease is up in four weeks. It's either the cat or her. Not a happy bunny.

What a meanie you are! Why can't she have a cat?!

Because that was a term & condition of the contract maybe ??

Cattists are blind to what moggies do .... foul creatures.

Good for you Bob. Should be good for keeping the Security Deposit too.

... I agree if it was in the terms and conditions she's in the wrong but aww, poor unwanted cat and lady.

Just going off the term " ... in breach of our tenancy agreement ... ". Maybe she thought that meant "unless you fancy ignoring this clause and want to go & bring a cat into the house as then that'll be just fine coz I only put the clause in for fun.". It'd be an understandable error I guess.

Tenancy contract law can be such a complicated beggar.

Yeah. You can't just keep deposits because someone has a cat.

As BB says though, bad time for her to do it . Not about having a cat or not, it's about being able to trust the person living in your house to do what they said.

Not for HAVING a cat, though that would be a fair reason to terminate, or not renew.

But it would increase the possibility of damage (especially if furnished) and the need to have a thorough deep-clean ... which would impact the deposit.

[Bruce Rioja]

Can I just point out here that you're all missing an opportunity to call Bob a miserable nice person here?

[malcd1]

I'm with Bobo and Bob. I can't stand cats.

Get rid.

You can if it's pissed all over everything, scratched up the furniture and hid some dead mice around the place.

I hate cats. With a passion. I made it perfectly clear that I was ok with a small dog, but cats were not allowed. At all. Never. No exceptions. Flea ridden stinking things.

I'm happy to allow for the fact that her small dog is in fact, a mahoosive mastiff cross.

In response to my phone message she rang to say she was "Looking after it for a friend" and it would be gone tomorrow. Good. Or she will by April 6th.

Miserable tw*t.

And proud of it. Get orf my laaaaaand.

Highly unlikely to be a reason to terminate (though it would be possible to word it that way, and I wouldn't put it past BB, the miserable tw*t ) though as good a reason as any to not renew (silly cow!)

And yes it might have caused damage which needs money from the deposit to fix, but only enough to cover costs. When you said "should be good for keeping the security deposit too", I didn't quite read that as saying "Yay, you'll be able to recover the costs for any annoying work you have to have done to clear up after the f*cker", but more, 'Yay you can stiff her for her deposit and come out up on this". I could have been wrong though! Not that I'm a cynic

[Bijou Bob]

Last tenant made a hell of a mess and the deposit nowhere near covered it. This one seems ok apart from the cat, although you can never tell until they've left. Would prefer to keep her in the place, if only to avoid losing a months rent while I advertise etc.

Up to her now, she knows the score.

Bloody facebook. Ages ago a friend had posted some mildly political point on FB that after a bit of discourse prompted a mate of his to refer to black people as monkeys and generally denigrate all immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees etc

Normally I'd just ignore the pri*k but it wasn't just one comment, and when challenged by me & others he just used more racially offensive comments.

I decided to use that report abuse function they have on there. Several weeks later they've e-mailed today to say their report on the incident is ready - I clicked on a link to read "We found that these comments were not a violation of our policy"

Unbefeckinbelievable

I Have leased andI plan to lease out soon as well know the risks ... and I'm shocked that you think I would stiff someone unreasonably. Truly.

But I'd want any damage done assessed and mended appropriately and then her out .... I wouldn't believe the "it'll be gone tomorrow" story for a second. She's already lied over the scale of the dog she admitted to.

Get her onto the pavement.

Can believe all this fuss over a cat, from someone keeping tenants.

Boom, boom.

Never !

Meh, it'd make me wary, but not sure I could be bothered with the fuss and losing the cash monies of having the place empty if she'd been an otherwise model tenant.

Even if I hated cats as much as BB (the miserable tw*t) then unless there's any expensive wooden furniture in there I'd probably risk it. Couple of rounds of flea treatment and a professional clean is surely a lesser evil than empty flat/ potential new tenants who trash the place/ don't pay rent.

Oh dear. It took a couple of reads.

I need a lie down now.

[Prufrock]

Oh wow.
