I felt guilty taking it, I feel guilty sharing it but I don't think I've ever stumbled across so much concentrated council before.

I won't run through the individual items but feel free to play "spot the council"*

I blame this thread for giving me adverts for mobility scooters.

It's called a Boomerbeast? A nickname for the type of person destined to ride such a thing?

This is full on council (Although not an actual concil house)
How do people live like this? Mental health problems?

They're smashing in about a kilo of cereal each per week, plus a loaf and a half of bread. I'm not sure they can manage much else.
55 pieces of fruit is just 5 per week, less than one per day, not that high for Scotland.

They're getting through two air fresheners and a pack of scented candles a week. I wonder if their diet might have something to do with that.

That is unbelievably disgusting.

Is it Austinsmirk who sometimes has to deal with stuff like this? If so, what is his take on it?

They’re a bit council.

I don't know how I feel about that, slightly repulsed, but compelled to watch it more than once.....

Thats not council, thats genuine mental illness.

Her and Lizzo. With Serena Williams to maintain discipline.

Sorry. Gone a bit off topic.

we had a rental property left in a similar state and to add insult to injury under the mountains of bags was raw food, used nappes (adult and child) and childrens' potties (several of them) ... all overflowing and adhered to the floor with exrement. There was a noticable fly problem in the rear garden too, on inspection they had also filled the old coal shed with rubbish, including a load of defrosted, uncooked, rotten readymeals that had several thousand maggots and fly larvae in them.

cleanup was not pleasant - par for the course being a landlord now sadly, esp at the "cheaper" end of the market

Funnily enough we were thinking of selling Mrs DS's flat in Manchester and instead buying two properties locally which would be closer, no have service charge hassles etc and ultimately bring in more rent.

A policeman friend sort of put me off that one - in Manchester we have always had long term "quality" tenants, we'd be swapping that for a much more volatile tenant base and would be looking at redecorating the place every time someone left as they'd just get trashed.

I thought the same thing. There's living in a messy/grubby house and then there's actually potential for someone to have had a mental health issue. Especially as the landlord said that for 3-4 years there had been no issues, then next thing you know she won't let people in the house and it's ending up like that!

He’s right. Our rentals were in sunderland and Newcastle - all tenanted at c.£500/pcm so the base of the market.

Don’t get me wrong we did have some decent tenants over the years but a string of 2-3 bad tenants in each of the properties (we had 10 when we called it quits) nearly bankrupted up through lost rent, damage and outright vandalism.

We always budgeted for:

New kitchen and bathroom every 3rd tenant set.
Full redecoration every time
Full refloor every other time

You have to have cheap properties that have a high ROI through owned outright or very low rate loan/mortgage to make any profit at all (other than it paying for itself essentially)

There are many people who live like that and in my experience a lot of them are just lazy and selfish.

A recent example:




Thousands of bottles like that throughout the property:



Guy had a leak under the floorboards ten years ago and rather than clear the rubbish out to get to it he just turned off his water and started improvising.

He used the bathroom floor for the solids, this is literally a pile of st covered in toilet roll:

She would be if I had my way about it - she's fantastic.
However she's just blown away by Lizzo
