I'm my second year out of halls. My first house wasn't too bad, apart from the bath leaked and fused the central heating control. This year has been a nightmare, a few examples; The cooker wasn't working when we moved in, and it took the landlord about 4 weeks to replace it. We didn't have a gas certificate when we moved in; what made it worse is the landlord tried to use the one from the previous year. We sent him a list of all the things that needed doing to his house or we had done, to make it liveable in - it was seven pages long. Needless to say, we don't get on with him very well. Moral of the story is; make sure you know that your landlord/lady is a money grabbing low life.

Yeah, we really should have checked the house a lot more thoroughly before we said yes I think. We didn't even know it came with a garage until we talked to another set of guys who had viewed it. Frankly we don't particularly care if it is a pile of crap or not, as long as it is actually inhabitable then it is fine with me. But I don't think the landlord is all that bad, we asked the previous tenents what they thought of him and they all seemed to think he was ok. Apparently very flexible with the rent, which is extremely useful.
Lady Z and MagiK - Well, I'm already living in a hall with these guys, so I share a kitchen and bathroom with a couple of them. We've already learnt to forgive the little things... like being woken up at 3am by your totally naked next door neighbour "for a laugh". Or having your kitchen cupboard door kicked down so that people could see if you really did have any food. I've probably done just as bad back to them...
And Talthyr - Haven't you got a sister to be having sex with right now, you country bumpkin?
