Man there really are some pyschos in the world. He should have got more
Nightmare situation
Hahaha. What utter fucking arrogant cunts. He should have got more.
How that couple is allowed to continue to offer this as a service is what’s fucks me off. They should be struck off a landlord register for a set period of time.
A lot of landlords are going to find themselves in bother by being lazy and stupid about trying to create fake „licensee“ arrangements. From the reporting that seems to be an element of what happened here.
It’s not actually that easy to create a licensee arrangement, especially if you’re not living in the property. It takes a bit of effort and expenditure in most cases. Landlords who are both stupid and lazy, and there are many, will find that they haven’t successfully managed it.
Of course even within a license arrangement it’s profoundly stupid to think that you can simply alter the terms of the agreement unilaterally and at will.
Hopefully more tenants seek advice and bring cases even if they think that a landlord has tried to bring themselves outside of regulation by calling them a licensee.
Absentee AirBnB landlord?
Sense of entitlement ✅
Breeches of tenancy laws ✅
Underserved sense of grandeur ✅
Yep. Checks out.
I hope he follows this up by seeking legal advice on what else might be legally relevant too. That situation is horrendous. If I were him I’d have a solicitor look at the situation in some depth.
Googled the landlord & wow they seem to be selling “treatments” for autism in Poland… yikes.
The student should have got more, sounds like they made his life a nightmare.
Delighted they had to pay out. What absolute tyrants.
Should have a read of the RTB testimony document, its demented. They decided to treat the whole place as an AirBNB then made him be the person actually looking after it (theres reference to their daughter also living there that „did not want to get involved in the AirBnB“) then when they got sick of him costing them AirBNB cash they backdated a bill of €15k for the „extra charges“ of doing things like using the dining table and using one of the fridges.

„She said she has not yet instituted District Court proceedings as she was juggling a lot in her personal life, but that the Tenant should have got a part time job or a student loan to cover his extravagant lifestyle in using extra services in the house.“
That rent a room scheme has like no protection legally and you don’t have to register to the RTB. It’s just waiting for students to be treated like shit by landlords. Students in these situations need to be seen as tenants with full tenant rights, not ‚licensees‘.
