Ask your wife to cook an extra meal daily for him as it is getting cold now and he hasn't got his benefits yet.
There are lots of courses for landlords, and before you buy your next property it would be a good idea to invest some of your thousands in them. | gizmo as a moderator you ought to be setting an example. Therefore if you have nothing constructive to say, then please refrain from posting.

Yeah, Gizmo, don't be cruel! Poor OP is already in trouble! Pointing out his incompetence and lack of foresight is not going to lift his self-confidence and please other posters!
What you should do is to spend some time with the OP, few hours would do, to teach the OP the basics of landlord and tenant law, explain about various procedures, give him lots of relevant links, write few template letters, email a step-by-step action plan, offer circumstantial advice on problems that may have occurred as a result (bank charges, relationship counselling etc). Do not expect the poor man to find stuff for himself- you are the moderator, after all, you should be doubly patient and give example! The OP is not to be expected to look up links or buy a book, once he has found us- cause we are the consumer champions and have thousands of members ready to give up their time to hold a hand of the less fortunate ones.
As for the bigger picture, I think that's what we should do always for people who should know their stuff beforehand, but for whatever reason have no idea whatsoever how to conduct a business. We could teach them, from absolute scratch, for free (because it's a sign of good entrepreneur to get stuff on the cheap, innit?), not expecting too much, and without any critical approach. Because this website is for everyone; those of us who are smart and brainy and those who are not, but have money. Right?
RIGHT??

Teur is not all he seems. I am moving this to the bear garden,which I should have done last night, as it is not real and was posted and my replies in jest.  |

Absolutely - I have PM'd him with an offer of marriage so he can not only share my knowledge but at a suitable time strip me of my assets in my old age. I do so hope he accepts. I've included a warm chair and some fried bacon in my offer - do you think this will clinch it?

RIGHT?? | Absolutely - knowledge is a great thing and like the NHS education should be free atthe point of delivery, however also bear in mind that 'sending an fool to university does not produce a wise man, it just produces a educated fool.' Quote:
