In 1995, my mate and his gf moved into a fully furnished house rented by a private landlord. It was clear that the landlord's elderly relative had either died or had just been put into the home, leaving a house full of furniture and other trappings. Even cutlery. They didn't have to buy a thing.
The landlord and missus were real oppressive. They used to turn up at random and do inspections, generally being nosy. Opening wardrobes and the like too.
They even complained if my mate rearranged the furniture. They moved out after 2 years. And received a huge list of reasons as to why they couldn't have their deposit back. Including that they'd thrown away the old lady lace-doilies from the armchairs, and then later replaced them by cutting up a net curtain.
I was just looking through the BNP list and I found the address, with the landlord and his wife living in the house, both of them on the list. Obviously hit hard times then.
Oh how we laughed.
If anyone's interested, it's 91 Severn Street, Hull
