I got a message today from one of my friends cleaning out my flat that my landlord has cleared out my flat without even a call, text or email of warning.

To say that I am pissed off is an understatement.  I have now done what any reasonable person would do, go ape shit with a demand on where they have my deposit and full on reading them out for their absolute scumlord activities.

I won’t give you the whole email, but the highlights include:-

As I am sure you can understand I am extremely upset by this, considering the treatment I have had to endure from your lack of management and repair to the property, your illegal attempted eviction December 2009 from Flat 3 and the on going un-managed rodent issue due to the placement of the refuse for the entire building.

and the kicker:-

I have made every effort to make arrangements with you for my departure and you have not even had the decency to respond to my calls or texts.

It’s not that I didn’t figure that they would be the biggest douchebags ever, it’s just I didn’t thik they’d be this big.  I guess I was proven wrong, now it’s another set of calls and possibly even having to take them to small claims court from France when I have other shit to be getting on with.

I am not pleased about this at all.

After spending all summer without a problem, thanks to some asshole neighbours it seems the mother fucking mouse problem is back.

This time rather than just piled rubbish, they've been woo'd in by freshly left pizzas.

Not to forget the festering kebab and cheesy chips that I don't have photos of.

I put up a letter calling out the bullshit and of course that just resulted in a skank bag of fouls food waste left last night and a strewn pizza this morning.

There is clearly somebody in this building who needs a punch to the face to grow the fuck up.

I've now taken it as far as I can, let's hope the landlord will help out.

« Hi Joe, I'm having a problem with another tenant. But I'm not too sure who it is.

After the mouse issue last year I'm keen to keep the rubbish under control and Flat 2 is also very much on board. However, there is one of the flats leaving bags in there for weeks and not taking them out like myself and flat 2 has been for months.

They've also started leaving pizza boxes regularly in the hall.

This is now the fourth week the rubbish has been left by them and the third instance of them leaving open food waste in the public area.

I'm coming to you as between myself and the flat above me we've tried to tackle the problem on our own. But whoever is doing this (flat 3 or flat 4) is decidedly against living as a civilised person.

Is there anything we can do with your help to stop this as I've run out of ideas/options? »

If it's not already been clear by my postings, my landlords are shit with any kind of time frames.

For example, February 2012 I reported a leak to them, today the council are threatening action unless they make some kind of effort.

But that's of course when they ain't waiting for money, my rent payment leaves my account on the 28th. This is mainly because that's when I get paid and I ain't paying them earlier because, I ain't got no cash (and I fucking hate them).

My current account will send standing orders by BACS, that's just the way it is and quite frankly I couldn't give a fathom of two shits about it since I'm not responsible for the way out corrupted banking system works.

So imagine my surprise, when after a year of telling these goons the same bloody thing in February, April, May, August and December that they'd remember that three working days is slightly longer than normal.

Hi Kevin. Just to let you know the rent hasn't arrived yet. Would be grateful if you could chase up and arrange for them to pay today. Thank you. Joe

I almost replied with "Hi Joe, I couldn't give a shit, you know with shit dripping down my kitchen ceiling for the last year and all." or even "Hi Joe, thanks for the prompt reminder at 0815 on a Friday morning you're a complete bell end, as if the list of shit wrong with this place in itself wasn't a constant reminder. I think you'll find that February is short, the banks are slow and you're broke for another 2 working days jack ass.

The mice say hi too."

Instead I was all diplomatic hoping that this douchebag would make some kind of bullshit argument that I could tear his face off with.

Fortunately for him after ignoring my

Hi Joe, the funds leave on a standing order through my current account on the 28th. S/O payments are sent by the bank via BACS which takes up to 3 working days to clear. Normally you wouldn't notice as there is two/three days before the first but with Feb being short it's a bit different. So the third working day from the payment date will be the 4th (Monday) but it has definitely left my account on the 28th.

he listened to my voicemail and came back with Hi Kevin, just picked up your voice mail - thanks for getting back to me. Joe

Not a problem Joe, now fix my fucking flat.

So my landlords have decided to forgo sense and business practice by dumping my agent.

Now I have to deal with them directly. And by directly I mean through the council's current action against them.

Rather annoyingly this not only means having to record every call to them (as my letting agent actually did act on everything we spoke about) but also for this next farce.

They left a note Friday evening that all payments must now go to them with new bank details. No big deal, if you have a transitional period realising that the next working day is most people's standing order day.

But not with mine, basically it means that I have to go through the trouble of seeing if the credit union can stop the payment or recall it if its too late, because they've not bothered to give reasonable notice or arrange for the letting agent to forward on anything latent.

Good job. My visage now:

Considering I can't sleep, I've started to put together the first few of my series Landlord Drama. I started it as a post tag, then I was all like "Imma let you finish, but a community is a better idea".

So I created . Join, view and be merry.

I am getting tremendously fed up with life right now, it's far too complicated at the moment.

Like for example my landlord drama, I might just have to start creating backdated entries with emails and photos to fully comprehend why I pay these bell ends rent to live in a derelict building.

Then we have the bi-polar weather. There is only so many seasons in one day I'm willing to deal with. And I draw the line at 7.

But at the same time, there are positive things

to look forward to and the daily grind over PAP.

I have started to plan for a trip, hopefully early part of May. The flights are about 86€ return and I just need to find myself a decently cheap hotel too.

On top of that I had an interview on Sunday, which I thought went quite well. So I may be able to sort some of the money aspects out sooner by working Saturdays and Sundays.

I'm hoping to hear back about that tomorrow.

Other than that quick update I don't have much else to say, I will try and put together a longer post with a bit more detail though. Trying to keep blogging relevant and all that!

Do the landlords intend on ever fixing this or do I have to speak to Citizens Advice to get it resolved?
