They were all being cheeky using it over the last two weeks as the rent was reduced!

Pipbin · 17/02/2014 10:55

I like that the LA told her to get bent. And I think requesting that she can get to her car by 5.30 is fair enough as is the reduction in her rent.
She has nothing to complain about. If she bitches then just say the word and half of mumsnet will decend on her.

sarahandmallard · 17/02/2014 10:58

Entitled wankers, the lot of them. So even when the landlord fixes it by reducing their rent, they still think they could harass and scream abuse at you.

Lj8893 · 17/02/2014 10:59

Brilliant update! Roll on 5.30pm when her car will be off your land and you can all relax and start planning your lovely garden!

hamptoncourt · 17/02/2014 11:01

Thanks for the update, can go to work now....

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 17/02/2014 11:03

Great stuff, MrsD, I hope your interlopers are gone for good later on. Good that the letting agents have been firm with her too. Hopefully she'll calm down now.

LIZS · 17/02/2014 11:08

Cheeky cow ! Did you tell them about shouty man too . Abusing the neighbours is probably also a breech of the tenancy agreement.

We were told be the parking police that blocking so you can't get out is not an offence, but that blocking so you can't get in (to your own property) is an offence. So BL loses in every way she possibly can.

Clutterbugsmum · 17/02/2014 11:24

Anyone else thinking that both LL and LA will not be renewing her lease at the end of term, as she has proved to be a difficult tenant.

RandomMess · 17/02/2014 11:28

Blimey, seriously entitled and arrogant!

Islandangel · 17/02/2014 11:29

well, by my reckoning........ there are at least 20 IOW MN on this thread alone! who needs bollards.

we can all go down there at 5.30 and give her 'a hard stare' when she tries to reclaim her car.

Shame on her!

JerseySpud · 17/02/2014 11:33

I just had to come and see if there was an update.

OP you are amazing to have stuck by this!

KhloeKardashian · 17/02/2014 11:36

So none of them should have been parking there for the last two weeks, wow!

YellowDinosaur · 17/02/2014 11:37

Hell I live in Newcastle and I'm tempted to get driving :o

AngelaDaviesHair · 17/02/2014 11:37

Well played, OP. I think it must have sunk in with bin lady now that she can't just walk all over you. Yay for BIL and his van!

WeAreDetective · 17/02/2014 11:47

... Is now thinking that IOW is doable in a few hours...

TalkinPeace · 17/02/2014 11:48

Roll on 5:30

but yes, any ad links - like on the right hand side or in the highlight bar at the top in Google, every time you click, the company pay a fee ....

KhloeKardashian · 17/02/2014 11:53

OP, I would get the fence/gates up asap. They sound like a group of nasty people who will have a plot to do nasty things now. They had the rent reduced, yet they continued to park for the two week, then some parked past the deadline, and two have shouted at you.

Report the over stayers and shouters to the LA.

Damnautocorrect · 17/02/2014 11:56

Amazing update, what did she think the letting agency could do!!?
Op your family sound truly truly lovely.
Now keep that bp down, bin laden (loving this name by the way) is bonkers there's bugger all she can do or say that's of any worth or standing.

fryingpantoface · 17/02/2014 11:59

Entitled wanker indeed!

wowfudge · 17/02/2014 12:07

Mrsd has stated that Bin Lady wants to get her car 'after 5.30 today', she the cheeky mare might drag this out for even longer.

sashh · 17/02/2014 12:07

I wonder if she will go tot he local paper with a sad face photo.

Islandangel · 17/02/2014 12:12

large parts of the island are flooded, and Undercliff Road has practically disappeared....

I doubt a parking picture would take front page!

Clutterbugsmum · 17/02/2014 12:17

I think you need to email LA/LL and say that the barriers will be locked at 7pm and will be getting her car removed tomorrow at her cost if she hasn't removed it by then.

I think because she is a self entilted cow you don't want to leave bollards down all night, but I think she will wait unitl you do them bang on your door at 10/11pm to let her out.

You need to be very clear that you are in charge of this not her.
