kevlorn Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 is that not up to the landlady to pay for.....after all its her boundry..
insane clown Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 if the fence is in need of repair ect...then yep the landlord should cough up, just a thought if you haven't bought your wood yet>>> http://www.atlanticonline.uk.com/index.asp they are very cheap and deliver[Y]..i use them all the time, have a measure up and see what you get... you not going to JAE?... it's that weekend isn't it? mark

scooby princess Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 is that not up to the landlady to pay for.....after all its her boundry.. Yes it is but we would wait forever and i need a secure garden for our dog plus children tease her so to have a completely enclosed one would be better

kevlorn Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 is the fence ****ed totaly,if so and its your side of the fence (on the deeds) get you neighbours to complain to the landlady...it really isnt your responsablility as a tenant to pay for maintainance,you pay enough rent, the landlady is just creaming the profit of off your hard earned cash..... unless its in your tenancy agreement,then thats a different matter..lol
scooby princess Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 its the bottom and side which goes onto the road and walk way so is this house responsibility - it is breaking like billiow and jess could escape
kevlorn Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 nightmare,,,definatley landlords responsabiliy then...get on the phone and tell her that is broken(security issue and public safety issue) lorna say's that you are not responsible for the up keep of the property ie boundries.roof,drains,plumbing, etc..she was a legal conveyancer dealing with this everyday a few years ago,,,need any advice give us a call.......she has many contact still...
kevlorn Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 is that not up to the landlady to pay for.....after all its her boundry.. Yes it is but we would wait forever and i need a secure garden for our dog plus children tease her so to have a completely enclosed one would be better hold back a months rent, she'd soon shout.........................................................................................you pay enough...
scooby princess Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 Cant hold back the month as she still hasnt given us a new contract! Have told her about garage roof and still she has done nothing and thats over 2 years! she will not do anything and i would rather do it myself as i know its not a half cock job that may see my dog get hurt because its been done wrong
kevlorn Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 do you waste money on something that isnt yours....the upkeeping of the property at your expence + rent, it's not right jaqs.............i know you could do without the hastle at this time. but its the money,,it really aint your problem(the upkeep of the property)..i'm sure citizens advise could tell you your rights as a tenant.................alot of money will be in the properties favour(ie landlords)............... she will love you for doing it,but won't care....................................................most landlords are ****ers...deal with them most days...
scooby princess Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 i know but my 1st concern is the safety of my dog and the car
