i'd rent foreverIf we had the freedom to decorate, or have pets, or actually treat it like my own home. English landlords are too strict to allow a vibrant rental market. That and now I own something MASSIVE.

My landlord's aceHe only lives over the road and I think I've seen him three times. He leaves me to look after the place, except the time I got a leaky roof, I'm no good at that stuff.

Our best landlord said"would you mind only paying me £400 a month, as it's with a better agency?" after we'd agreed to pay £450 with a posher one... Good old Bal.
We were great tennants, but mostly our landlords had noooo idea what to expect from tennants and thought we were bad.
two years hassle free tenenancy plus a few carpet stains and kitchen counter burns = good tennants

well obviouslyYou're civilised. Not all stains come out though. Blue poster paint in this instance.
All counted for shit when our final landlady tried to defraud us by making out invoices for work that wasn't done. We got our deposit back pretty quickly when we explained what she was doing wasn't exactly legal.
