I can't remember, to be honest, but on that occasion I was moving out of my own PPOR, so I was only "robbing myself". ;) Oh yes, and I've also had the appliance manuals - eg for the oven and air-conditioner, which obviously stayed - packed. :rolleyes: Does it not strike you as ironic that...

It's happened to me more than once. Packing away a sink plug thats in the sink is like packing away one of those toilet fresheners in the toilet bowl Yep, had that happen too! Apparently, yes! Oh yes, thought of another really stupid thing a removalist packed: we had a sign by the front...

OK, one last time: REMOVALISTS REMOVALISTS REMOVALISTS REMOVALISTS!!!!! They are good at lifting heavy things, often not so good at distinguishing between the occupant's contents, and fixtures/accessories. :D As well as plugs, a doorbell, doormats, and other items, I just remembered...

Why would you assume that it was "stolen" rather than just accidentally packed? A basket waste is highly unlikely to fit the sink in their next place, so it seems an unlikely item to want to "steal". I've used many removalists over the years, and on arrival at my new home, have often...

I hear you, and I can't stand old wives' tales myself; it's a personal pet peeve, actually, and you'll often see me addressing some of them on Somersoft. All I can say on this particular issue is that I'm not a PM, I'm a passionate landlord, but I have made some significant effort to educate...

If you're suggesting that landlords should "try it on", as Peterw has said can be successful, then fair enough. But the fact that some tenants will accept it doesn't change the rules. The fact that many landlords and PMs don't bother trying to get more money from the tenant than they're legally...

If you're just "trying it on", well, good luck, but in my experience, that money means a lot to tenants and they'll fight it. Because I've been to more than a few Tribunal hearings and you'd only get the tenant to pay for cleaning time if you established a binding precedent in a higher court...

I'm sure they would. I think kathryn_d would have us try and fight to change the precedents. But spending $10s of K in Court to win the right to pursue tenants for a couple of $100... no, thanks. I'll just accept being labelled as lazy and apathetic by kathryn_d. :D

LMAO I thought the same thing! I didn't know anybody used the paper version any more; I've been trying to stop getting one delivered the past 10 years, as it just goes straight into the recycling bin.

As others have pointed out, particularly JamesGG, rent is calculated on a daily basis; it's advertised on a weekly basis for convenience, because that's how people usually think of their rent.
