Why there is no reference check of the landloads???
In Japanese estate situations are very culturally biased and seem very peculiar to compare to here, in England. We must pay 1 month gratitude…meaning 1 month rent for the landlords, another 1 month for estate agents, 1 month deposit and 1 month rent in advance……..so you need at least 4 months rent up front when you move to the new house……yes, serious money!! Not only that, you need a guarantor which normally your mum or dad to secure your payments for the landlords/estate agencies……oooops……especially, if you are a girl, you are nothing in Japan, nobody thinks that you are credible, but your dad/mum is…….so, sorry to say that if you are alone……no parents to guarantee your payments, you are almost impossible to make a contract to rent a room. Generally speaking, most rooms are quite similar to a studio flat here in London, it consists of a bedroom, small kitchen, small bathroom, however, if you are in the cities like Tokyo or Osaka, you can find ‘Bedsit’ style old fashioned accommodation without bathrooms which is not so common nowadays…..you go to the ‘Bathhouse’ called ‘Sento’ (Public bath)…….it is nostalgic…ahhhhh…my student years in Tokyo……I lived in this kind of ‘Bedsit’ without bathroom in the really central of Tokyo and I used to go to the bath house almost everyday after the Uni. The bath house was closed by 24:00 at midnight, so when I came home late, it was a rush and dash to there….lol…if it’s closed…or end of the month I went skint…..normally I was……lol…., I washed my hair by the basin at home……..I paid around £150/m for my tiny, old bedsit…….good old days!
The estate situation in London is totally different…..it’s always a gamble……you go for a viewing, then decide to pay a deposit, then make a contract….let’s say for a year……by then you don’t know or never met with your landlords, so keep crossing your fingers that they are at least decent people who has common sense and social skills…….lol……..or sometimes they are total psycho with no social skills or even consideration…….the landloads from hell…….
They ask you some good references from your boss, current landlord…..but you get nothing, no information about your landlords…..they instantly have become a ‘Big Brother’ to you…….yes, you are just a tiny weeny bug….easily squashed by them…. called a ‘tenant’……..according to my experiences, (after went to housing association bureau, citizen’s advice bureau and shelter……..nothing really helped unless you have tons of money to fight in the court…..their advice was to get out…..easily done if you are willing to lose another deposit over for not fighting with them…….I know there are ‘The deposit scheme’…..but all they can do is to tell them that not legal to confiscate a deposit……if they are still not returning your deposit, final answer is to go to court……..so many of us do give up and let go…a deep sigh…….) this country’s housing laws are more likely to in favour of the landlords, not the tenants. The tenants have to put up their Big Brother like behaviours, just think of the future references not going to pot for the next moving….but yet, whatever the landlords behave disgustingly, appallingly and inhumanely, their next tenants will never know for well…..at least for a month…….then a horror story keeps going on…….la,la,la land…we are living in……lol…!!??
My land load is a peeping Tom, he had no boundaries……he comes into my garden without my permission, use the garden for his beloved Chihuahua’s toilet……which just looks like a skinny chick with big eyes…….and barking and barking all day and night……..my garden is covered by this little pooch’s poo with thumb big flies buzzing all day long…..so my flatmate and I stopped hanging our washings in the garden for well…..nearly 1 year????? we stopped going out to the garden for …1 year!!! but stil paying for the garden for more than a year…LOL……it’s like a joke!!! My landlord has much larger garden in the back……my garden is like a patio….very tiny…..but I thought much better idea to have a garden for reading and resting in the sun shine for a sunny days……but he is using it for the toilet for his beloved pooch……and we are paying for this……we talked to him thousands of times, but he goes,’ Weeeell, is there any evidence? Must be cats, a bird,even!’…..’Bird’??? Are you really got a higher education????? Last time we took some pictures of his pooch doing in our garden, happily…..well…..lol…when we showed him, ‘Weeeell, ****(his beloved pooch’s name) has own its brilliant mind which I can not control over every minutes of a day…..’…..not even say SORRY??? What you had learnt in the kindergarten???? You say sorry, if you done wrong to other people!!!!!! It’s a basic human, social skills needed to learn to live in society………a deep sigh…..he comes into our house when we are out, misplacing the things in the house….(we need CCTV to catch him!!)….my flatmate and my underwear missing…..the next door neighbour reported him peeping her flat from the garden which he does often to us…..he shouts and throws a thing to his wife….not maintaining our house….asked to fix the door and etc over 2 years ago, it’s never done yet………and more and more…….we need to keep buying a lotto to escape from this dire situation……..it’s not good for our mind, soul…lol…HELP!!
It’s really hard to live with ‘Basil Fawlty’(am I spelling right?) acted by John cleese……even I think of this British drama outstanding and absolutely love it…….better to just watch and laugh over the other people suffer by Mr Basil Fawlty’s real malignant narcissistic behaviours, anti-social skills and non sense than living with it in life!!!!!!! Why there is no reference check of the landlords?? If someone put up the free checking site on line, she/he will be a real British hero to salute……….LOL…LOL….LOL…..!!??
