landlord tortures and murders annoying tenant  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e. 3 years ago

a property tycoon has been jailed for deciding the simplest and fastest way to deal with a tenant who was getting in the way of a deal was to kill him. of course he also tortured the poor man first, presumably because getting in the way of a millionaire and his deals will always require sadist revenge. [link at end]

hate them or loathe them landlords are a fact of life for many of us - have you come across any (hopefully far less brutal) misbehaviour by these people? i personally have only ever had the usual off them (stamping their feet and throwing a tantrum when you threaten them with court for not returning a deposit, not carrying out essential maintenance etc). on the other hand a friend of mine rented from an infamous glasgow slum lord who eventually got a bit of comeuppance when several of his tenants (not my friend) died from a gas leak caused by his neglect.

hiya JB

Property tycoon misbehaviour?... the EDC (Edinburgh district council) yeah they give me schit houses all the time.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

if you're on housing benefit then they will pay it to a private landlord too - might be an option if the council keep supplying you with dumps?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

yes i thought about that, but when I go back to work it would be a struggle to pay the extortionate private rent! council and housing association prices are bad enough. This house isn't that bad really, just a bit small.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

of course you are in edinburgh and it's not cheap is it? oh well descibe small as compact, or cute. anyway it might be nicer to have a house than a flat?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

I actually prefer a flat Judith and compact makes for less housework lol

Hi jb, I'm back if I can master using two computers joined togther at the same time.
I'm going right back here but a friend and I back in university days rented a house with a live in landlady and a next door but one neighbour who was a flasher.
Even down to his diry mac. Soon put a stop to him getting it out everytime we walked past though with convulsive laughter. Anyway he turned out not to be half as weird as the mad landady who never washed her pink toothpaste out of the basin. They carted her away for stalking one of the male students in the end who was at least 30 years younger than her.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

that is without a doubt the way to deal with flashers. scary mad landlady you had there - you must have been relieved you weren't male...


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)   ranked 3 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

If I'd been male I wouldn't have needed to frighten the puny flasher, did I mention he had a hat too.lol


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

well the crazed landlady sounds worse. what kind of hat?


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)   ranked 3 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

You know jb, the sort that used to be worn with flasher macs. Don't tell me you've never come across a flasher round your ways, the UK was full of them, there used to be one on the bus coming home from work who was particlarly annoying.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

not that many to be honest. and often hatless. you have led a far more funpacked life than i have.


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)   ranked 3 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

Well it would have been a bit more fun if they all weren't of the typical dirty old man brigade, I mean what a cliche, small and puny under a dirty mac.


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)   ranked 3 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

Ha the flashers in the macs, you know I've never encountered a Greek flasher, wonder why the UK has so many, I was always falling over them. Thanks for the BR rabbit.thumbup

thumbupNot encountered anything myself despite more than a few rogues among the fraternity (well it's capitalism, and the idea is to make money by fair means, or mainly, foul).

One of the better stories that I heard came from a friend (also in Scotland incidentally) who informed me of a guy who, along with the rental agreement, was asked by his landlord to fill out a Life Assurance policy, payable to the landlord in case of his unexpected demisecry.

The prospect of waking up in the middle of the night and finding some hitman waiting for him, put him off signing the rental agreement, and anyway he would have had to pay extra for the policyangry!


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

this friend - wasn't based in glasgow was he? that is almost certainly something this one would do. i don't know whether this would be because he planned to knock off his tenants (which seems unlikely as that would involve expenses) or just let them die off through utter neglect.


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

My friend lives on the outskirts of Glasgow - the story originated from somewhere closer to the city centre apparently.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   ranked 1 out of 144 in p.e.  3 years ago

it probably is the same landlord. or possibly one of the many clones you get of this type.

I hate slumlords. I use to be a landlord and the slums give landlords a bad name. I kept my properties in perfect condition and sent for repairs as soon as they were reported. I had one building that had a gas leak in the middle of the night and couldn't find anyone that could come that very minute to fix it so I sent everyone to a hotel on my dime. Although, at times I wanted to kill tenents. I remember one that called me because they were to hot. I was like then go buy a window air conditioner and I'll have one of my guys put it in for you, they wanted me to buy it and cover the extra electric because their apartment didn't have enough windows...
