Moving on

[securitybearuk]

Hi guys I need help from the mature guys/members of this home from home web site, I am hopfully soon going to be moving appartments/flat. Where I live the whole of the street has taken part in a street refurbishment scheme, that is to have new external wall built, new front doors etc. Just to bring the whole street up to standard and to make the area look nice, Now due to debts and various money problems. These I am now glad to say have been taken care of with a process called a debt relief order, your debts need to be under £15000 to qualify. It only costed me £90 for a 1 off payment, this has to be done through "THE INSOLVANCY PRACTITIONER" Your creditors CAN NOT and legally have to stop asking you for money, and after 1 year your debts are wrote off. Its not bankruptsy if your debts were over £15000, then yes you would be advised to go bank rupt. Ok my point is tha landlord isnt taking part in the street refurbishment, as this would have been an ideal time to redecorate my present flat. He is not going ahead to to h*** with him. Time to move on, as I am heading to my 50s I want a nice place to live and want to feel settled so I have enquired about a place not to far away the rent is only £1.30 per week more. £390.00 a month is an avarage rent in my area, New rent £395 a month. It is advertised as having new kitchen new bathroom and shower new decoration and is alarmed I have been in my old place 15 years. The other good thing about the new flat is, the property is accredited with my local council which means the flat has a very high standard. I have not seen the flat yet as the present tenant is still living there but he has been given his marching orders, he has left the property is a bad state. I need tips and suggestions as to help the move go smooth, the new land lord has to get cleaners in to bring the flat back to the councils standards. I also have to submit vetting forms for suitability, they just want to know if I have been a good boy and paid my rent on time. Time to get the washer going lol

Have you paid your past rent on time? If so, then you have nothing to worry about.

Let the landlord worry about cleaning the old flat out. It's his responsibility.
What have you discussed so far with your new landlord about cleaning up the flat?

I am not that bothered

I am not bothered about leaving the old flat clean as this will be done on the day, I will clean as I go.
Nothing has been discussed as yet I have not seen the flat as the tenant is still there, he has been give the order to get out as this can take a few weeks so I have been told from the new landlord. The landlord has to bring the flat to the counsels high standards, before I can take on the flat. The rent is good location ok, great for local busses and travel and near the shops. The bug bear is leaving home for work 15 mins ealier as usual to walk to my local metro to get to work, as there are no busses at that hour of the day 5am that is.

15 years of pay pay pay yes rent has been on time, well most of the time. There has been hick ups and mistakes on behalf of the old landlady due to dimentia, she always insisted I pay on a monday I was at work 6.30 am and didnt get home till 7pm by that time she was in bed. Almost always the rent was posted thru her letter box, She would forget to enter the payment in my rent book and put the rent in arrears,but this was dealt with and now at present have a new landlord still with my old flat.
