Is landlord taking advantage of my partner??

Fiddlesticks99

I live with me partner in a rented 4 bedroom house, she has two kids from previous relationships and is a beautician. She works 2 days a week doing nails in some place and works from home doing nixers for the rest of the week. I am on the dole and mind the kids. Our lease is up for renewal in October.



A woman on our street recently complained to us about the people coming into the house and parking outside her wall and in our garden. We told her its not her street and to mind her business.



She then told the our landlord about my partners home business who later called around and said it was clear from all the activity that my missus was running some sort of business.



He said he wants to bump up our rent because we run a business from home and he wants rates in line with that. The slime ball now wants 1200 euro instead of the 900 we are paying. If we don't pay up he says he will inform revenue about me partners business.


I think this is BS, he has no right to hassle us like this. Between my missus wages, nixer money, my dole and benefits we earn just enough to pay the bills, rent, car tax, insurance, sky and other stuff. Now we might not have the cash to go on hols this summer. Hes basically messing with out lives, my partners business and threatening to tell tales to revenue.



I think my neighbor and landlord should mind their own business and stop making trouble for us. How do we get them off our backs? Is this something I can report to the guards for harassment?

Wow.....

Your lucky he doesn't give you both notice and get you all out to be honest....

Check your lease and you will see you can't do what is happening...

The neighbours have a right to a peaceful life and you are renters so have absolutely zero rights to do this....

Tax man may well come a knocking so would suggest she gets her tax in line too.

Presume this isn't a windup or a lame attempt at trolling you'd be much better off asking for advice in the accommodation and property forum. I'm sure if you message one of the Mods they would move it there for you.

Your partner's clients add to the wear and tear on the landlords property (carpet, etc.)
Also whatever beauty products may be considered an increased insurance risk by the LL's insurers which he will have to pay.
It is his business!

Your neighbours have a right to a peaceful street and a new business, however small, becomes their business once it starts inconveniencing them.

Is it possible for you to get a job for yourself?
Your other half would not need to run a part time side business then..Your neighbors would also be at peace and your landlord wouldn't raise the rent.

Lots of problems solved in one go

Is this the same neighbours that have chickens that your cat ate?

Too busy doing nixers

I wonder if the title should be is your partner trading advantage of social welfare?

You messed up by unnecessarily pudding off your neighbour and don't really have a leg to stand on.

If you want a quick resolution then your partner should travel to her clients instead of running a business from home.

But rubbing a business from home is adding for trouble if you end up with the RTB

This is surely a wind up or else op is clearly part of the entitlement brigade

A neighbour having no rights to question car coming and going all day and parking outside their house.

Diemos

I've seen those video's of landlords taking advantage online.....

Assuming you are not trolling, you really need to check your attitude.

You made a mistake in being abrasive to your neighbor. Had you smoothed things over and perhaps offered a gift or maybe even her nails done once a week for free she might not have said anything.

Dead chickens. Scratched cars. Baddy landlord.

You should sell your life story to HBO.

I'd say you will have to move now ..in the middle of the night ....they have it in for you

GO NOW LEAVE NOTHING!

Remember when trolls put in some effort?

Actually this is a wind-up, 4 bedroom house €900, increasing to €1,200 because of a figment of your imagination, Fuck Off

Your cat kills the neighbour's hens, your cat damages a neighbour's car, your partner is running a business from a private residential rental and you keep coming on as hard done by.

I just don't believe one person could be so removed from reality.


If this latest saga is true then the neighbours will soon be either breathing collective sighs of relief or having a good old laugh.

tell them i'm eating my breakfast, kate

Invite your neighbor in for a free Brazilian and call the landlord and let him watch via your smoke alarm cam, everybody happy.

Everyone knows we’re at full employment, just the untouchables left.

Get the neighbor and landlord over for dinner to make peace.
Poison both of them and dissolve them in barrels of acid
Concentrated sulfuric acid should do the job

I m suspecting the neigbour has an affair with the landlord...

corner of hells

I can confirm I'm one of his neighbours.
Next weeks thread will be about how his partner's mother wins the lotto and he finds out when she offers him 300 euro for a night of passion.

irishgrover

It's actually a fairly poor effort....you used far too many triggers in the op. You could have saved the sky and nosey neighbors bits for follow up posts....but including all the triggers in the first post is just amateurish

kowloon

Unless this cat is a mountain lion or the chickens are bantams I would weigh heavily on the side of it never happening. These false flag posters need to put more time into establishing the lore before jumping into the main adventure.

You could have not mentioned the dole in the opening post and left it to someone in the thread to ask. The reveal would feel more organic. Remember that while you want to get the details into the story you need to do it in a way that doesn't betray your characters motivation: They want to hide the whole dole/nixer sub-plot.

Well...you certainly have ticked a lot of boxes here. Let me guess, your gf is an ex-ISIS bride and you’re a traveller?

I'm in a similar situation OP, I'm living in a 1 room bedsit,kinda like livingroom/kitchen/bedroom, jax outside, I started my own business recently selling white and brown, a neighbor recently reported me to the landlord coz my shit was crap and danced into the adjoining carpet, he threatened me with eviction if I don't up the rent to €35 a week and give him a nice rock twice a month!

Bastards is all they are, if you get any good advice here, PM me, I can't really call the garda for this mishap.

Spanish Eyes

School holliers and bad weather. Great combo for this kind of post.

micar

Would your partner "service" him twice a month in lieu of an increase in rent and keeping stum.
