Good luck finding a tenant mate...

I'd rather wait for a tenant with a few quid and willing to put his money up front to guarantee his behaviour than suffer some of the rubbish we've had to deal with over the years.

How about the tenant that skipped off after smashing the bathroom handbasin off the wall? Wasn't I delighted when I called a few days later and discovered the hot and cold pipes still gushing water!!!

Or the idiot that seemed incapable of finding his way to the toilet. In lieu of that he simply filled empty cola bottles and left them standing round the flat. Luckily he did put the tops on some of them. Less luckily some of the others fell over.. It had been a new carpet as well for that let.

These were both working people with good references..
