#Tenancy

[1000rh]

...the idea of landlord in Britain is unlikely to summon an image of a faceless organisation or distant ghoul. Given the one-in-twenty-six-people statistic, the fact is that almost all of us know someone who is a landlord, or who is closely related to one. […] This social intimacy affects societal attitudes towards landlords as a class. It tempers the sense of class conflict and disguises the extractive and exploitative nature of landlordism. It is difficult to imagine a serious project of decommodification [...] when so many people’s perception of the average landlord is that they are just someone’s aunt.

These proposed changes would have prevented my being evicted in callously bad faith a year ago. A twelve year tenancy terminated to move the landlord's kid in...and it turned out they didn't even need my flat after all.

Apparently I'm still carrying around some bitterness...

I am unbelievably lucky I ended up on my feet, but that was due to the support of friends and family. And I am now living much farther away from them and from work, and above my means, because there isn't anywhere within range, geographically or financially.

My landlord wanted to put the rent up 35% despite cap - BBC News

"In Scotland, as the impact of cost of living rises such as energy prices began to bite last year, the Scottish government announced a temporary freeze on rent rises.

In April this changed to a 3% cap on increases.

However, campaigners have warned the "joint tenancy loophole" means that, in many flat-shares, landlords are free to increase the rent by as much as they want when one person leaves.

This is because the emergency legislation only applies to tenancies, rather than properties."

They were sitting outside to escape from the sweltering stuffiness of their rooms, the soiled shabbiness of the furniture and decoration, and the sight of the giant cockroaches which shared their tenancy. For such reasons as that, and because your chronicler does not want to be sued for libel, the hotel they were staying at must be nameless.

"I'm pretty uncomfortable with the federal govts recent moves to improve housing availability by making things easier for landlords and property developers, with tax credits and financial subsidies.

Landlords and property speculators are among the most vile parties in Canada.

I'd rather see more direct affordability improvements for people, to help them avoid permanent, precarious tenancy."

PSA: in most US states, and in the UK, your landlord cannot legally enter your home without permission except in an emergency.

The laws vary in terms of what notice they have to provide and what counts as a good reason, so look it up for your locality and check your lease, but you are probably not obligated to just let them into your home because they asked, and if they enter when you're not there they may be liable for trespassing.

But perhaps the most important aspect of the mid-century decommodification project was the near-death of private landlordism itself. While it is often pointed out that the private rented sector was much smaller before Thatcher came to power, what tends to be forgotten is just how close we came to abolishing landlordism altogether, and just how recently. […] In 1973 a group of social-democratic lawyers wrote a Fabian pamphlet called The End of the Private Landlord, and the right immediately nodded in agreement. The following year, the Conservative Political Centre (CPC) published The Eclipse of the Private Landlord: A Study of the Consequences. […] Even the Institute of Economic Affairs, in a 1972 pamphlet co-edited by Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, took the view that ‘the present system will result in the gradual withdrawal from the letting market of all privately owned houses suitable for owner-occupancy’.

Big damn personal rant after very little sleep and two large coffees; scroll on by as you like.

I forgive far too quickly and am so hasty to land in a neutral-to-positive mindset, when I need to let myself rage around and actually, be rightfully and righteously furious for a while. Oh, there are many many reasons, all linked with a life history of ADHD-masking and anxiety about taking up space, being seen as uncooperative, uncontained, and god forbid, needing to ask for anyone’s help. Knowing that is still at some distance from actively working at it - and why, indeed, would I want to start dismantling the coping mechanisms that have served me so well and gotten me through seriously awful shit, in the midst of a rising pile of stressors? I don’t have much of a gene for anger, but I do need to up-regulate it instead of letting it fester into bitterness.

This is sparked by the family-viction notice, BTW. I would not want to be the daughter in the situation, who must know that her father has evicted a 12-year tenant with two and a half months notice, so that she can move in. “I don’t feel good about it either,” was the landlord’s protest. I would bloody hope not. I am not remotely interested in arguments that “well, that’s the law.” It is a bad law, unjustly applied and subject to broad overreach from its original intention. There is not a single moral, ethical or reasonable argument to support the way it is applied. I did not ask him to contemplate how he would feel someone doing the same to his daughter, because a) I am too nice and b) I need landlord references, and must grit my teeth on that.

This eviction is the result of the student housing crisis in my city - never mind that I am also a student. Which means I am also dealing with my end of term Grad papers and presentations, getting my 120 undergrad students through their final papers, trying to sort out an unwanted job search/change, AND NOW having to completely dig out and uproot my life, all at the same time. That’s the mental and practical mountain. At the heart of my emotional reaction is the combined sense of being invaded in my home and utter powerlessness about it. Nightmare level stuff. Just after a parkade/car smash break-in, too. (/rant)

I am so easily set off by injustice. I’ll go full Mama Bear on behalf of others, and find resources and supports and case law, dammit. When I am the one affected by an unjust situation, though, my outward reaction is to squirm away from wrathful feelings (silver linings! neutral mind! you should actually thank the person for giving you the chance to grow...real classic victim-brain stuff), and immediately assure people that I’m fine, it’ll all work out, even better than before! and here are the possible solutions I have already found. Heaven forbid I should open the door to my parents’ tendency to grill me very hard for information or try to get me to perform an emotional reaction, just because they need to feel like they’re doing something and are needed. Let alone put any more goop on the shoulders of friends who are also dealing with their own goop.

Before I sign off on this rant I need to point out the incredible depth and long history of a handful of very dear friendships, which have let me stumble through learning to admit when I’m overwhelmed and pissed off and terrified and feeling bruised. The above is not about you. As you know, you’re not people that I need to be “on” for. You’re my people. Huge difference. Difference beyond words. You know who you are, and if it’s possible for me to fling any more armloads of appreciation and adoration at you, well, just tell me where and when.

And yeah, it’ll all work out, even better than before. Already have a pile of possible solutions. Many of them due to the abovementioned friends.

Truth is, never sign a document or agreement you haven’t thoroughly read and understood, and consider seeking legal counsel. Just recently, I went through a tenancy agreement and can only thank God the tenant had it reviewed by her lawyer. Imagine having provisions that say the landlord has the right to inspect anytime or any day without notice, or that the landlord takes possession immediately after the tenant defaults without provisions for serving statutory notices or applying to the court to take possession, etc.

As you navigate through your business transactions or personal interactions this week, remember the importance of thoroughly reading through that tenancy agreement, employment contract, NDA, or any other contract before appending your signature.

Wishing you a peaceful and productive week ahead

speaking as someone who has moved house way too many times and finds the process of house hunting to be genuinely traumatic (not to mention stressful as hell) i would like to make a positivity post for NOT currently house hunting. if you are not, right now, looking for somewhere to live, just take a moment to appreciate that. no rightmove trawling, no phoning letting agents, no dropping everything to hare across to a viewing for a mediocre house that you won't get even if you call them immediately because they've already had five applicants, no financial referencing, no constant stress that if this last one doesn't work out then you're going to have to rent a storage unit for your furniture and crash on someone's floor, etc. so relaxing
