Use plastic and tape

It's in the negatives recently

Gonna keep dropping

I mean you could put them up and take them down when you leave, landlord wouldn't care too much @coattailsandbowties

I can't use central heating because we have an electricity restriction. Can't change fittings because it's prohibited in my contract. Can't keep piling blankets up on my bed

Bare in mind that cold here is historically different to what you’re climatized to, now call me a fag but it’s cold for some.

I life in the country next to yous and think it's fine.

You're just always fucking warm fuckyouu cow

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't feel my toes

@coattailsandbowties wait wtf you have an electric limit?

How and why?

It's supposed to get -3 to -4 here on Sunday

only a certain amount of electricity is paid for by the lettor, if we go over that limit then we pay the excess plus a fine

*I kinda hate where I live sometimes*

@coattailsandbowties that my friend is absolute horse shit

That has to be a substandard condition of living

it is. this property is absolutely awful.

there's mould fucking *everywhere*

Surely there must be some legal grounds that you can push it?

Again I'd say plastic and tape

I've never heard of a landlord imposing an electricity limit, that seems strange

nah this is what I want

Yeah no that's not on, speak to the university & citizens advice bureau

@lolfire it's fairly common with the big companies that do letting to students.

Seems like it would do something

That would probably work

It won't cut off if we go over but everything over all gets saved up and taken out of our deposit at the end of the year.

which is fucking BULLSHIT

Jeez

Oof

especially because the house is garbage, all the windows are single pane.

@Moon Runes

Wait. no that's actually not on, they can't touch your deposit for anything aside from physical damage to the property, isn't that why the gov brought in the tds?

This is why I hate renting. It's not your property and you can't make it your own

Depends on the landlord tbh

nope, the deposit, once withdrawn from the protection scheme, can be claimed partially or fully by the lettor to cover any costs incurred by them relating to the property as long as it abides by the terms of the contract.

as they've stated what they can take money from the deposit for in the contract, they can do so.

As a landlord I can say I will not touch your deposit unless you break contract agreement or if you leave a shit in my fucking kitchen sink

Not every landlord is nice

these are big letting companies catering directly to students, they prey on the fact that we won't know any better.
