Ever asked for a reduction in rent

[croyde]

And been successful.

Lack of work and it's starting to be a struggle. I could move to somewhere cheaper.

I am a good tenant and the rents locally appear to have gone down. If I were to sign something saying that I wouldn't move for a couple of years maybe.

Just putting the question out there.

Cheers.

It's a big business. The landord is like the local squire. He owns almost all the 'hamlet' so he has his men, who do all the work.

Much better than my last landlord. A Russian lady who took 3 months to fix my hot water and couldn't stop telling me how it was affecting her substantial profit

Shame but I think it's time to down size and move, possibly back to London to save on commuting costs and get far cheaper council tax.

Haha. I know.

I could swap my little rental cottage in Surrey, the ludicrous Surrey council tax and the £5000 a year in petrol and trains for a reasonable rental flat in Wandsworth. Probably hard to believe but it's true

I will be giving up the beautiful countryside though

Thanks for all the advice people. Cheers
