[the truth]

ok instead of being accused of being a daily mail reader who bashes benefits cheats heres a real life tale
ive rented a house to a couple with 7 kids
its a 4 bedroom semi nothing special
ok so I get paid the benefits direct


they then buy 2 dogs, I haven't got an agreement in place as they were supposed to be mates.....then they start breeding dogs
so a year in and im told by workers I sent there the house is a state....so I check it out and its a disaster, I tell them to clean it up, they don't....I write and ring the council to find them a place but try finding a place for 9 people...2 dogs and puppies
so it gets worse, they then contact the council to stop the benefits and the council pays it to them for 2 months

I get into the mother of arguments with the council for this absurd decision....they keep the 2 months claiming the house is such a state a ;eak has damaged some of their equipment.
ok now in all the time theyre there they have never given me a contact number and the only times they've ever told me theres a problem ive had workers there within a day or 2.


the bathroom done, roof over the spare room, fencing etc
but it seems they haven't kept me updated with problems...even though I see them out each weekend on the beer and they know my number and address they simply haven't bothered to tell me the problems........he tells me one day we have a leak, I send a plumber several times he cant get an answer, he goes back and back and fixes the leak....theres water inside a wall, the windows haven't been opened theres wet clothes all over the radiators and the condensation does enormous damage...more blackness in the walls. I pay to have an industrial dehumidifier in the room with most damage costs £90 to rent for a week. they take it and a week later give it back, they didn't put it on, in case it cost electric....the next time I sent workers every worker refuses to work there because of the state of the place....in the end it must have been 10 workers at least said theyd only go there when its empty

so I send an eviction letter...2 months
finally they leave, hallelujah
but guess what....they wont hand over the keys and they leave 120+ rubbish bags , mattresses , stained nappies, bottles , cans, fag butts, wood , strewn everywhere........holes in walls,beer soaked carpets, walls black with dampness, plaster hacked off, the list goes on
within a week of them leaving environmental enforcement ring me....I direct them to the tenants, ah but they've gone he says its on you now....ah but they haven't given me the keys ring them

so it goes on.......they claim they cant afford a ski;, they haven't got a working car to come and get the rubbish.....so muggins here has to pay for a skip (soon to be there again) and paying workers to clear away their disgusting sub human filth

so the enormous damage to property falls on me, the enormous clear up operation falls on me, the environment falls on me, the enormous fixing up the house bill will run to thousands....this lot now land on another unsuspecting victim....seen them out drinking Friday and sunday without a care in the world.....leaving me with a 6 month rebuild

take from that story what you will
