Bad news: My tenants in my house in Islington have come up with a list of things which need doing.
• The bath needs resealing. There has been a leak form the bath on to the ceiling below. Surely they should have noticed this before it got to that stage?
• There are window keys missing. They were all there before the property was rented out, and this has come up before. Reluctantly I agreed to get them supplied at that time. Or were they never supplied? They haven’t lost them again, have they?
• The seal on the freezer has gone. I wonder whether they have not been defrosting it? On the other hand, it owes us nothing. It is six years old, and you do just have to accept that tenants, especially those sharing, do create a lot of wear and tear.
The Good News: I don’t have to do anything, I just authorise my Lettings Agent to get it all fixed. They often will for a very good price and even if the price is not so good, at least I don’t have to travel up to London to do this. That saves me time, and time is money.
Other Good News: My tenants in the flat in Streatham have accepted a rent increase.
Those are the ups and downs of being a landlord.
