I've changed my mind
 

I want to go right now.

My workplace is being funny with me, my landlord is being a total and complete tool, House Insurance are threatening to charge me a cancellation fee for moving - even though I said that they could insure me in Perth if they wanted:rofl:

Everything is a fight/struggle, some people are behaving like knobcheeses and I have had enough.

I just want to be at the airport hotel, drinking champagne and bonking my brains out over something smutty.

I am even not looking forward to my party and the emotions that go with it.:(

Has anyone else felt like the last few weeks are total hell and have had some people change towards them?

I hope it isnt me.

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Bollocks to them all!

you will be out of there before you know it.

Re: I've changed my mind
 

What SS said!

Bollocks to em :thumbup:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

You do not realise just how much control people/companies/authorities like to have over you until you end an agreement.

If I had the money, I would resign now and move into a hotel - I swear I would.

:(

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Blimey PP I thought you werent going then:ohmy:

Stuff em, you'll be away from them soon. What date is it that you go?

Try to enjoy your party. Im sure you'll get in the swing after a few drinks.

All the best

Re: I've changed my mind
 

dont worry about it!

you'll be frr of them soon!!!

Re: I've changed my mind
 

OH yes i do!

dont let them get to you.

they cant do anything once you have gone. if they want to be an arse now then bloody let them. Phathetic little lives with no adventure or get up and go in them.

you go out there and LIVE your live. Your mum would be saying the same thing now. (sorry to bring up a sore point). You of all people should know life is too short to be worrying and letting people like that get to you.

this is NOT the PP i know and have come to love (strangly enough)

Re: I've changed my mind
 

We go first week in March.

I have never felt so stressed ever in my life.

Why do people have to be difficult? How the hell can my landlord demand 2 months notice AND keep our deposit when our agreement expired 9 1/2 years ago and it states only 1 months notice.

My head is pounding, the estate agents and the landlord are coming tomorrow, the landlord left a shitty message on my husbands mobile.

Ive been signed off for a week and work are being shitty as well.

Why dont people leave me alone? I dont bother anyone, just do my thing and you would think I had committed murder the way people are carrying on.:(

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Nothing worth having comes easy PP. :thumbsup: Just repeat that every time a knobcheese kicks off.:rofl:

Once you are on that plane in a post coital druken stupour, you'll be fine.:thumbsup:

As SS said, Bollock to em all.

Re: I've changed my mind
 

......and breath. landlord is obviously just trying it on... arsehole, go have a nice glass of wine and do something that has nothing to do with oz for the rest of the night ...oh and here (((hug))) have a big hug. :wink_smile:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

because they think they can get away with it.

give him his one months notice as that is all you have and as for the deposit i would write it off i'm sorry to say.

work - you have grief off them for a while now. Be strong and give them a one fingered salute as you leave on your last day - which will come quicker than you think.

Re: I've changed my mind
 

sod the landlord do a moon light flip!!!

move in with family or friends for a few weeks........

leave a note saying now you got clever with us we got clever with you:thumbsup::thumbsup::D:D:D:D

it will all work out i am sure just think of the nice things in life that you will be experiencing soon:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Dont pay the last months rent.

That should get your deposit back.

If he tries to kick you out, claim squaters rights:thumbsup:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Its all going to kick off tomorrow when the estate agent comes round.

I cant think about him anymore, my head hurts.

Ive just had a can of guinness.:o

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Have some more and then your head will really hurt when he comes round. :thumbup:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

I keep getting period pain and its coming and going, I dont know if I am coming or going either.:eek:

Gordon has been in and out of the boxes like anything, I felt so sorry for that poor cat - he was so distressed with the boxes.

I had a long soak in the bath and Gordon sat there watching me saying 'Oi, big tits, what you up to?':lol:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Hi PP here is the relevant legislation from
http://www.questbrook.co.uk/ast.htm

Generally speaking, when an Assured Shorthold Tenancy is created, it is for a fixed term e.g. 6 months, 12 months. If neither party does anything to terminate it before the last day of the fixed term then the tenancy is automatically converted into a Periodic Assured Shorthold Tenancy. This is still an Assured Shorthold Tenancy but it is now one that continues by operation of the law on a periodic basis i.e. on a week to week basis or month to month basis dependent upon the period in the fixed term tenancy by reference to which rent was paid.

Just tell the landlord this!

Re: I've changed my mind
 

We pointed this out in the contract but he said we all signed together with him, a contract that says 2 months notice.

Ive never even met the guy and Mr PP only met him once when our door fell on Mr PPs head.

2 months my fat arse, hes trying it on.

I cant wait till its all over, Im going to take some painkillers as my head is hurting.:(

Re: I've changed my mind
 

He has to give you 2 months notice, not the other way round. I know it's not what you want to deal with, but don't give in to him.

Take care PP and stay strong - it's not long now.:wub:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Mr PP is going to deal with it all tomorrow.

We have highlighted the contract and I shall have the tenants rights page open on my computer when the estate agent comes round, plus I am contacting Ealing Council - housing department tomorrow.

Oh my poor head, I need one of those hugs that crush your ribs - you know the kind I mean.:o

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Sounds like you have got it sorted - just got to convince the landlord. Glad that Mr PP is dealing with that.

Go and have a lie down for your headache and have a virtual hug
(((((:wub:)))))

Re: I've changed my mind
 

It's a horrible time PP and I KNOW no amount of people telling you it will all be alright will make much difference.

It won't be long now, this will all be a distant memory :)

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Mr PP is lying down in the other room - hes knackered, been doing some painting.

I lifted my boxes by myself and could do with a massage, my back is caning me.:eek:

I shall be in bed early with a hot chocolate and watch my Peter Kay DVD (again).

Tomorrow I shall be cleaning everything.

Re: I've changed my mind
 

If ever they do a film ( hollywood style ) of an expat, you would indeed be the 40 year old virgin style, migrant !!!

Im still amazed after all these years your still in blighty !!

lolol

Will send you some K, which is KRYPTONITE to fight off the evilness you are experiencing. Just make sure you wear your EXPATMAN costume, green tights, g string and peekabo braziere !!!

Re: I've changed my mind
 

((((((((RIB CRUSHING HUG ))))))))))

Have a huge glass of wine darling and visualise your last day at work where you swan off into the sunset leaving the miserable bastards behind for good ;)

Re: I've changed my mind
 

a And dont forget to leave some dead fish under the floor boards ,lets see him rent it out again with in two months:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Prawns in the curtain poles.

A fella split from wife, she whacked prawns in curtain poles.

After few days, flies and smell... so he had place totally cleaned.

Still foul smell.. he decided to move..

Guess what he took with him...:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

love it:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Hope Mr PP gives the landlord what-for, you absolutely shouldn't have to put up with this sort of sh*t from him. As someone else said, just withhold your last month's rent as deposit, and tell him that when he returns your deposit you will pay the last month of rent! What a loser....

As for the insurance, I remember being charged an extra month as a cancellation fee too. What a rip off. Unfortunately it was in my small print so nothing to be done - aside from possibly claiming that it is an unreasonable charge and therefore you will not pay. Don't know if that works out side of banks.... I mean do they honestly expect you to stay with them forever? It would be more honest to charge a joining fee in the first place.

Like everyone has said though, screw them all - let them do their worst for the next eight weeks, because after that you will never have to care about them again! :D

Re: I've changed my mind
 

PP, sorry you are having a hard time of it. Won't be long and then you'll be on the plane. Sorry, not much help now, but sending you lots of vibes and karma, you will get there. :wub:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Also, try asking for compound interest on your deposit. :)


Really wish that I was close by to be able to help you PP. Hang in there - the world is FULL of tossers!!!

xx

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Try my well thought out strategy for survival:

Get hammered :p

Cancel the direct debit for the rent & tell the landlord to go swivel when he comes knocking on the door :D

Get your GP to sign you off with a "bad back" for the rest of Feb - they won;t know any different & it would take longer than that to get an appointment with a specialist to prove otherwise anyway (you knew the NHS would come through for ya one day :thumbup:)

Plan for not only a smutty movie, but the full rubber stockings & leather peephole bra routine for the hotel :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Mr. PP will have a last month to remember :D

(You'll get there honey - hold tight, not long now :wub:)

Re: I've changed my mind
 

We have a plan guys.

It is illegal for us to withold rent for a deposit and I dont know how quickly our landlord could take us to court.

We know full well he cant charge us 2 months rent to leave, Im calling the council later about that.

We know we will lose the deposit, he has NEVER given one back yet - according to his handyman.

So as our deposit is going to be witheld, that saves me the trouble of cleaning the flat I am assuming.

OUr flat hasnt been properly scrubbed in ages - boxes everywhere, stuff everywhere - you get the gist.

It is dusty as I have done very basic cleaning.

Anyway, as hes keeping the deposit, I can save my energy and not do bugger all except sew kippers in the curtains.:lol:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

thank god for that,,its a nightmare here living the good life..dont do it..

ast..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Re: I've changed my mind
 

All the s*** that you're experiencing is just part of the plan to make sure you're ready to see the back of ole blighty. When you posted your thread about "when was the most emotional time for you" I had to really rack my brains as, like you, by the time it got to the end I was sick and tired of it all, friends being funny, petty bureacracy, wrong information etc.
It's like having a baby - you go through all that pregnancy stuff just so you'll be willing to do anything just to get the damn baby out at the end:D
Not long now. Be strong.

trust me i am a landlord and he cant demand 2 months notice it is stat 1 months notice within tenantcy agreement and if you are that far out of your agreement and no one has renewd it it goes to what is called a mutual rolling agrement and is coverd by tenency laws and regs (cant rember th date that ame in but check google )
so tell him to go eat his hat and demand your deposit bck if the property is in same condition you got it or like to like (doesnt matter if its been decorated and agreed with land lord )its illegal to hold deposit

other thing you can do is just dont pay him any rent fromnow till you go that way you getting your deposit back claim squatters rites he cant enter your roperty with out permision and it will take him 2 months to evict you legally

hope this calms you a bit

chill bro you going to aus man you gonna live the life

peace

Re: I've changed my mind
 

I am watching Wanted Down Under and getting really cross at the teenage girl who is hell bent on her family not moving.

I know its not her fault, but I am getting cross.:eek:

Re: I've changed my mind
 

No, No, its put prawns in the curtain rods. They can never ever figure out where the smell comes from, even changing the curtains won't work:p

JTL

Re: I've changed my mind
 

Thank you so much for that:o

The flat has got wear and tear.

He has never maintained it, we have replaced stuff due to damp and mould and he has always sent his handyman in to paint over the damp till it comes back, so wallpaper has peeled off - but that is not our fault.

The oven has been broken since we moved in and the gas fitter has reported it but landlord said its fine.

I will admit to the carpets being fluffed up by my previous cat but I dont know what counts as wear and tear.

We do have terrible damp though but no evidence in writing that its been reported.

I cant wait till its over.

Ive heard its illegal for us to hold rent as a deposit, god Im so confused.:o

Re: I've changed my mind
 

We used to be landlords too until recently and agree with this poster totally.

Youll be fine PP sending you lots of (((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))
