the 'i totally wrecked my walls' saga gets funnier bc ive spent the past few days trying to figure out how tf to get out of the inevitable fine and one thing i joked about was that i have a lot of hard hitters on my side if shit really does get nasty. like my flatmate's mum is an actual soliciter, my dad is a finance guy who can write an email so scathing you'll cry, my local friend's family owns half the property in the city and knows all the tricks of the trade when it comes to housing, and then there's just my mum who was like 'oh yeah i regularly used to dodge rent in my twenties. you'll be fine' and somehow she's the one im finding the most reassuring rn

#my mum looking at these insanely qualified people knowing she can one up them with the sheer experience gained from being poor #and she's right too. that's the fuck of it all #like she was trying to reassure me bc i nervously said to her 'im gonna be honest im NOT paying that fine if it comes to it'#bc im not! i dont deserve to! this tenancy has been a shithouse start to finish they have NO RIGHT to fine me over a dirty wall #like it does NOT cost that much to just go over it with some paint and it's not like i have a deposit for them to withhold from me #and i said to my mum thinking she'd be a responsible parent about it and be like 'no legally you HAVE to or they'll take it to court'#but she was so fucking unbothered she was like 'yeah when i was your age i literally couldn't afford to lose my deposit #so to ensure i still got it at the end of the year id just pretend my rent was late for however many weeks the deposit covered #and then id just leave. like id just leave without saying anything'#and that was that 😭 girl ffs. like her advice was really just 'call their bluff bc 9 times out of 10 they wont take you to court'#LEAST of all over an £80 fine for a bit of dirt on a wall. like lets be real here. i'll threaten to leave a review of all the shit #we've put up with during this tenancy and that'll be that i KNOW they'll roll over bc they've done it before we literally got rent back #for the first week at the start of the year bc people complained. im standing my ground #so even if the worst case scenario comes about that i cant salvage the walls and i do get fined #i now have full parental consent to just fucking dodge it LMFAOOOO #hella goes to uni
