I just moved into a lovely lovely HA property. I’m really lucky. The decor is rubbish but I can make it my own (lovely purple and orange walls anyone?)
I don’t know the previous tenants and in your rental agreement obviously only the more major elements of the property (heating, structural) are covered/maintained by the HA and the rest by the tenant - which I knew and expected.
- So it had no carpets. Which I expected.
- People who lived here before me took the TV aerial which is annoying and too expensive for me to replace - I’ve tried an indoor one but it doesn’t work and all the other neighbours have roof ones. There is a sky dish which seems to have been disconnected so I can’t get freeview or freesat. Fine I will have to watch catch up only
- They also took nearly all the light bulbs - and they are all expensive energy saving ones I could only find online so I’ve had to pay over £20 to replace them.
- They (or someone) also took the black wheely bin but the council did replace that this week
BUT onto the finale of the pettiest of the pettiest even more petty than any of the other gripes I have, when I went to put up ceiling lampshades they have taken/removed all of the screw on lampshade rings! This is my final straw of annoyance. The fuckers
Why do people do this? I don’t get it
