    You make some reasonable points and based on what you've said, I will be asking my solicitor to reconfirm some points (believe it or not, my points are based on legal advice I have previously sought). You didn't need to be quite as much of an arse as you were, but your points are clearly backed up with some knowledge, so I'll definitely be asking for some clarification on some points as I'm quite happy to admit if I'm wrong on previously sought advice. Believe me, I have researched this and am not just regurgitating crap as you so charmingly put it.

    But you've certainly given me some points to investigate further. Positive rep added for that.
    This from someone telling me I was an idiot, wrong, etc, etc, ad nauseum....

    Cracking irony...

          Definitely too late.

          Legally, it is assumed that the property is in perfect nick before you moved in UNLESS there is a detailed inventory that lists the exact state of the property.

          Basically, if you can't prove the damage was not caused by you, you'll cop for it.

          (This was explained to me when I worked for a housing consultancy who specialised in taking bribes from local authorities)

            I have got pics, also emails from him asking to come take his own photos of the damage 3mths in to tenancy as he was taking the previous people (or agency, I dont know and stayed well out of it!) to small claims. He lost and was threatened with contempt of court cos he lost his rag and was being unreasonable.
            I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

                Whats wrong eek? Why the perverse insinuations I am angry? Far from it. I haven't had any issues with my tenants, as previously noted, I have just had the advice to put certain clauses into my contracts, which I have pointed out.

                It's strange you seem content to try and attack me, but not the point. Very strange, Is this your MO?

                It's not working.

                  But it is working. If it wasn't working you would ignore my posts, as you reply to everyone clearly I do annoy you.

                  Shame really as the last one was literally just a joke.
