  1. Locked Out

    in Tenants forum

    Listen Sweetheart, you BROKE THE LOCK, so YOU PAY FOR IT!

    You are not in a hotel! Also try reading the Terms & Conditions of your Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement - presuming you can read at all that it.

    If you borrowed your friends car and broke the key in the ignition, would you expect them to pay for it? NO!

    Finally, try getting a job and you wouldn't need to be harping on about how hard-up you are and expecting the tax payer to pay for your rent, the local council to pay for your council tax, benefits to pay for you and your children, and the landlord to pay for damage to his property that YOU caused through your own incompetence.

    Also interesting that you have money to go ice skating but no money to pay for the damage you caused. Hmmmm? 

    Take responsibility for your own actions.

    Just following up my own topic................

    So I have had 3 electrical quotes come in for just one property. ( 1 bed flat ).    

    1 quote was at Mates trade rates at £500 and the other 2 quotes were £575 and £625. All quotes returned were for replacement "fuse boards" and 5 year certification. None were interested in given certification unless a brand new fuse board was installed.

    One of the quotes was by a Fella who had issued a landlords certificate on the property 4 years ago and didn't insist on a new fuse board back then did he. Shakes head!

    So it does look like to me that electrical contractors will not issue a certificate unless the latest edition fuse board is installed in the property.

    I have several properties that have to be done so I am considering trying a contract basis to see what prices can be achieved.

    WOW! What's the name and contact details of your electrician as mine is charging me over £900 for one property (Economy 7 DB1 & DB2 consumer units) and over £700 for another property (18th edition 10 way Dual RCD consumer unit).

    Of course both bathroom lights need replacing with an IP rated LED bulkhead - which seems to be the norm with this rip-off electricians.

    I'm based in Milton Keynes and would appreciate any feedback from other landlords, or electricians as need my consumer units (fuse boxes) replaced asap. Thank you.
