As an additional to SnowyTheRabbit's post...
You want a tightwad cunt of a landlord? I once lived in a place where the landlord (reputedly worth in excess of £7 million and at the time owning a quite large DIY store) refused for three years to replace the leaking upstairs bathtub (during which time whenever the upstairs resident (a house converted conveniently for tax reasons into two flats) took a bath, I had to place buckets in the lounge), didn't replace the broken boiler so that every time I wanted hot water I had to unscrew the shower head then switch it on to fill a tub and (and here's the point to it) when the nice neighbours (as opposed to the wankers who lived on the other side) offered in exchange for a small quantity of parts and material to replace the guttering for both himself and the landlord's place, he (the landlord) totally refused on the grounds that he would be giving away some of his stock, in spite of the fact that he would have got the work done for free.

And if you could follow that, join me in a chorus of "what a stupid wanker"

a stupid wanker.

Fuckface moron. Should have put gladwrap over HIS toilet bowl and put the seat down so the next time he used it he got piss in his face. That woulda done the trick :D

That's not such a bad idea.
Though I think some form of natural justice was served in the fact that when his own son was carrying out repairs and servicing on the (completely fucked) electrics of the flat, he got blasted clean across the room.

Oh, did I mention the electrics went in the bathroom and I had to take in a lamp every time I needed a shit when it was dark?

I lived (well existed) there for five years...
Long story, and not a good one tbh, makes me sound like a stupid cunt.

I mean, well yes I am a stupid cunt, but it makes me sound worse.

I was eventually evicted on grounds of non-payment of rent (due to getting less than a pittance from a band of slavedrivers and having been told beforehand I'd not even be considered for any form of housing benefit, hence not trying even though I'd probably have got enough to survive with), and to this date the retarded scumbag's not seen a penny out of me for it.

And so help me Bob the fucker never will.

(and yes, I know now I could have said I was witholding rent until repairs were made, but it was really too much to fight, especially after he kept coming round with threats of violence and the police kept telling me he had a right to be "passionate" about his money)

(I've never been especially good with confrontation btw, and him shouting and screaming and threatening like that scared the shite out of me, in spite of my size (6 foot plus) and weight (now 15 stone, down from 18 stone). Though I'm probably better than I was.)
