Thank you for the kind advise. (I'm making notes as we errr speak)
Thank you for the kind advise. (I'm making notes as we errr speak)If you're a good landlord, or intend to be, I'd speak to them. If you sell, either a landlord will buy it and raise the rent, or they have to find a new home with today's market prices anyway which will be higher.
They'll know their LL has passed away and are probably anxious about all this anyway. Better to find a sustainable way forward for everyone. They may be ok about a raised rent, esp if the alternative is a new house with raised rent.
Staying on the same low rent forever isn't realistic. If they are good people they'll understand. Maybe there's an amount between what you want and they want that's acceptable to everyone.
Yes exactly. As it stands right now I'm paying the council tax and energy bills. And it's hard. You know (not to make this all about me)Also we don't know the landlady's situation. Does she also own her own home? Is she able to work? Or does she need to rent out the house in order to pay her own rent/mortgage? And, as mentioned, the upkeep of a rental property still costs money.
I think Jack is making a big error shouting about her rent and bills - she is coming across as very entitled, and also clearly earning a decent amount. I simply do not believe she's been locked into her rental contract - she has chosen to stay there and not downsize sooner because she felt she can afford it.
It’s absolutely WILD that this has all occurred in the last 12 months. So many self-inflicted chaoses, so little time…Just dropping a pre Christmas gift off for the Canal
It’s her texting herself from her burner to her iPhone to show as ‘proof’, isn’t it?
When I rented, surprise random rent increases made me think the landlord just wanted a bit more. But your dad has passed away and you aren't in his circs. You never know what they'll say. Maybe they are looking to move anyway for other reasons but just haven't found somewhere, maybe they know they have it good and are saving up the extra money. Maybe they love this house and can afford to stay. Either way, you providing the same terms and conditions as your dad did don't seem feesible and you didn't ask for this situation, just as they didn't.Thank you for the kind advise.

Yes this made me a raise my eyebrows too. So her landlord inherited the house (not a bungalow, and yes I do know it’s a chalet as I literally live a road away and drive past it regularly). And that’s some kind of evil. But Jack’s family inherited a ton of property that was rented out as shitty HMO type accommodation and that’s ok then? Talk about double standards. And while I’m ranting Jack. It wouldn’t have looked so shitty if you had bothered to keep the front garden decent, maybe done some gardening,put some tubs or hanging baskets out front rather than letting the poor place look neglected.I know things have probably moved on, but this really makes me angry, if her landlady had been a total 'see you next Tuesday' I could understand but she's never been anything but kind as Jack will testify in many posts she's put on in the past. She's also not correcting people when they say he, when as Jack knows it's a lady that inherited that house after her mother died. That is why it's mortgage free. It's all spite and envy. No mention of daddy the landlord I see.
And it won't sit empty, it's in a lovely area and a nice house, it will go quickly.
Yep £1500/month gets you a one-bed flat round my wayFor anywhere in the, er, hinterland of London you pay a lot more.
Now that she's binned the ltd company, she won't be getting any salary, of course.Tricksy with words, againsalary and income are two different things
Bloody hell. I had read that as £566 on energy in a year - but no, you're right, she means that's her monthly bill!Energy bill here-

Seems a lot to me but then again I actually have a 1 bedroom flat and don't live in one of the most desirable areas of the south east of England. I could probably give Jack some budgeting tips but, uh, isn't that meant to be *her* job?
It must be arrears unless she’s including heating in which case I can fully believe it’s £566. We have a high electric bill but no where near hers and our set up is bigger.Bloody hell. I had read that as £566 on energy in a year - but no, you're right, she means that's her monthly bill!
That's 15x more than I pay, for just over 3 times the floorspace. And a good chunk of her house won't even need to be heated - the spare bedrooms, the halls and landing, and (most of the time) the dining room. And she claims to be using solar-powered lights!
I honestly don’t think she’s posted a single thing! She’d have provided lots of performative ‘proof’ otherwise.If Jack's shithouse onion pictures are being prioritised over my asthma inhalers, currently stuck in the post for a week, then I might just tear a radiator off the wall (and then sit down for a little wheeze)
