    My husband got filipina tenants who are on a student visa.

    In their previous house they were also sharing one bedroom but were charged the usual price for 1 bedroom each.Wasn't fair at all.
    My husband let these filipinas rent his house without deposit and reduced the rent for them coz he knew how much the students get paid for.We provided them almost everything (furniture,cutlery,kitchen utensils,bedding, etc.) they needed when they moved in because they were just new in this country.
    So do I! Many thanks for your supportive post. I'm sorry to read of the plight of your husband's Filipina tenants as a result of the unruly behaviour of the group of British students they shared their accommodation with. Also, it infuriates me to hear about the malpractice of their previous landlord/landlady.

    May I add that your husband is to be commended for his honesty and generous spirit. I wish there were a lot more people like him.

    If there is gas heating in the house, the landlord is obliged by law, to have the appliances checked by a registered corgi installer, once a year minimum.
    At the end, he would be issued with a pass or fail certificate, if the appliances are not fixed the local council can take steps, or so I believe.
    The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998

    Gas safety is another important issue that you need to take care of as a landlord. You need to ensure that all gas appliances such as boilers and ovens are fully maintained and inspected for their safety and suitability.

    This rogue landlord needs reporting to the local council. I'd also contact HM Revenue & Customs to ensure they are aware he is renting properties out and he is meeting tax/vat obligations -

    But if your name is Mohammed you can always say "no understand" and then scream "racial discrimination" if anyone has the audacity to try and prosecute you for not complying with the law.

    This might appear on the face of it to be a bit of a racial slur on my part, but after hearing about such things from a couple of friends of mine, one a local authority environmental health officer and the other a local authority planning officer, I now believe that it's just par for the course in this wonderful country of ours these days.

    Iain.

    Personally I am of the strong opinion that if one does nothing to integrate or doesn't want to integrate with the local population, or bother to learn the language of the host country, or doesn't obey or respect the law of the land, then he/she doesn't deserve the privilege to live there.

    I meant every word of it.

    I am Italian and have had the privilege of sharing the good and the bad times of this country for 34 years.
    I bothered to learn and improve my english language skills, I follow the letter of the law and obey the rules, although I have to admit that I am not perfect and I have a couple of speeding offences to my name.

    And I brought my children up, as british citizens made with italian parts....
    The only difference is that they don't see the need to get plastered on a night out and puke their kebabs on the pavements....

    That is the most sensible things i`ve heard anybody say for a long time.
    Sounds like the Sri Lankan post master that lost his job.
    None of the supposed "good" muslims backed him with his idea.
    Lets hope that whatever party wins the next election will change the immigration rules and stop the nonsense going on around us.
