Some of these people are just scum, pay your way, or get out. If he's a taxi driver, best way to make sure, week or so before the eviction, make sure that his taxi receives a little TLC worthy of failure at the next council roadworthyness test, he won't be so smug when he hasn't got a job either. They are pretty strict on taxis, clients of mine have had to fund new cars for relatively small issues with a car, as once the car reaches a certain level of problems, even over time, the seems to be some kind of requirement for it to be taken off the road, right then and there. Always good to end up drawing rather than losing when there's no chance of winning smile

Eastern Europeans / respectable jobs are my main filters.

Had a used car saleswomen, who unsurprisingly did not pay the first month (!); as I had moved away my father went there the day the money was missed and evicted her (also turned out the agency had missed a CCJ on her credit file ...); simple threat of taking her back into bankruptcy as she held a directorship at some car firm or another ( something to that effect anyway).


Had a group of Hungarians in for 3 / 4 years; always pay on time, renovate the house for money off the rent, keep everything tidy. *

  • Although I do believe the chap who is the TA holder sub lets the property as the bailiffs turned up one day about a certain individual who had fled the country ( but gave that address) back to Hungry, but he pays every month and is an easy guy to deal with so ...
Although my father in law's partner rented a house / flat in London to a Dr who didn't pay the rent and ran up bills of appx £9000, leading her to remortgage her own house to pay the delta!

oral references of truth > written reference of "fact" biggrin
I had one set of HB tenants go bad - they urinated on the carpets to a degree that needed to fit new floorboards to clear the smell of ammonia.

They did adhere to the s21 and unexpectedly (given how they were leaving the place) I had a reference request. I called the agency to give them feedback and they could not have cared less.....he kept saying 'but you got your rent on time right? - that all my LL's are concerned about'

16 months later that flat was by then no doubt in a state such that they wanted a fresh start and they came back to the agency I use - who told them where to go.
There seems to be a lot in the press about "slum landlords" but nothing about "slum/scum tenants"...

Another thing - make absolutely 100% sure that you have told the gas/electricity/water suppliers plus the council in writing that you have moved out and are no longer responsible.

The vermin in my place ran up £4000 in gas/electric/water bills with SSE and Trent water, 800 mobile phone etc. I had letter after letter from Bailiffs. The best one was a letter from the Post Office that had already been opened - it was a P.O savings account statement. This scum was a getting...wait for it..............£1600 a month in benefits. That doesn't include the house rent and is exclusive of any benefits she was getting. All told there was probably 2000-3000 a month benefits all told, even after the kids were taken into care. Looking at the staments, there was never more than a fiver in there. A decent chunk of money went in and was withdrawn the same day. None of it seemed to go towards paying 'bills'. Nice work if you can get it eh!

Sadly, scum like this are not discouraged from breeding. It's all very well being up in arms about immigrants, but we have our own indigenous white trash to sort out first. The Tories appear to be making inroads into this problem.

Never in a million years, that's just wrong. Taxis can be notorious for not taking proper care of their cars though

Or, this is the new Pistonheads where 'normal everyday people' will describe real life scenarios involving low life scum thinking that the world owes them extra - and some limp wristed apologist will come on the thread with a frenzied attack to wrongly accuse them all of some phobia or other.

I think their heads must explode with some of the truths that their left wing uni Lecturer hid from them during their recruitment.

Alternatively, this is where right wings idiots recount stories that a mate of a mate of a mate told them as if it was them and then all the other right wing idiots then decide that this is common place.

People believe what they want to believe wink
