Fucking tenants , I still own a property in the UK (bolt hole). He has been living in the property for just over 3 years now. The property is a two bedroom two bath flat modern built in 2000. It is on the beach front in Hoylake, Wirral , 5 minutes from last years Open Golf championship venue. So shall we say it is in a nice desirable area.
He contacted me last week asking for a rent reduction as the Central heating boiler is now 10 years old and (1) is not energy efficient and (2) the energy rating on the white goods are also not as as energy efficient as modern appliances( I pointed out that when he signed his tenancy agreement I had gifted him the goods). He is requesting I fit a new boiler, replace the 4 year old washing machine and the 6 year old fridge freezer
He has not had a rent review in the whole time he has lived there. I was content with the, reasoning better a steady income and a reliable tenant so do not get greedy.
I pointed out that Landlord insurance has increased by 17% this year, building maintainence cost(management fees)by 4%.
His reply , not my problem!!! I phoned him this morning and asked if he was having financial problems regarding paying his rent( he has never missed his rent)
I could hear someone in the background goading him on!! Obviously I asked him was someone there. Yes turns out he has a new lady in his life!!!!!!!
Just doing some research on investment/ valuation on two bed two bath properties within a 2 mile radius of Hoylake. Yer maun is fucked, I am entitled to put up his rent by 6%, do not need to replace the boiler unless advised by the service engineer on the annual gas&electricity safety report.
Gets better had a valuation on the property (£275,000) so just informed my tenant I am giving him 6 months notice to vacate the property as I intend to return to the UK in January, health reasons (my arse)
Next village down from Hoylake for that kind of money I can buy to rent 3 two bed flats returning me 120% more in rent than I am getting now. I am not a greedy person but fucking tenants!!!!!!!!!!!!
