This £300 represents the first of her Housing Benefit payments. She will have been in the flat 10 weeks when she leaves, which is £1,100 in rent.
What she didn't say is that she is already in possession of a second payment of £400. If I can get this, I might call it quits.
I know she will disappear forever on Saturday, so I have had to instruct my lawyer to hand-deliver to her this afternoon a letter threatening the wrath of God if she dares to abscond with the money.
We'll see what the week brings, and keep you up to date with any news.
By the way, I'm a betting man, so here are my odds:
Tenant absconds with money - 1/100
Tenant damages flat -1/2
I get my money - 100/1
Council offers to assist me - 1000/1 |
I'll have £12 on you get your money
Confused????? - well here's my logic,
I'll pay you the £1100, then I win the bet and you pay me £1200, and you've very kindly credited me with 100 beer tokens
Sorry couldn't help myself, seriously though I hope you get it sorted, I agree with Erika, this site mainly helps honest people who are struggling with finances but your tenant blatently wants to rent dodge and play the "system" and I hope she gets everything thats coming to her.
