    It seems like a massive overreaction. Also that's not completely beyond reason for Dublin, which is an eye-wateringly expensive city. I paid €8.50 for a pint of Heineken once, that should have made the news. Bewley's is an institution too, its been there forever, and its right on Grafton Street where everything is more expensive. More fool him. 

    I notice the receipt was torn up and taped back together too, presumably in disgust. 

    Torn up in disgust and carefully taped back together with regret and shame.

    It's crazy isn't it. My experience of dealing with Aberdeen landlords is that a lot of them are so bewilderingly rich, they just don't give a shit, even if their property is getting damaged in the process.

    When I lived at King Street, we had frequent leaks from above because the knobhead tenant kept letting his bath overflow, or would point the shower directly at the tiles, and it would seep through the half arsed seal around the bath. I'd ring the landlord, who also lived in Dubai, and she'd just hang up mid conversation once she got the jist of what it was about, but her tone prior to hanging up was just like she didn't care one bit.

    I think it would be fair to say that there's no such thing as a good overseas landlord. They're all a bunch of pirates.

    I've only had dealings with the one. Numerous dealings with the same fucking one.

  3. Cheers pal.

     

    Aye, I think Joe is still working there. I've been in touch with him a fair bit about the previous issue we were having.

    It's Stronach's who 'deal' with the property. The landlord has since been in touch with her usual bullshit attitude - so slowly getting somewhere now.

    Who the fuck ignores emails when their flat is leaking water?!

  4. The flat above my Aberdeen flat has a leak somewhere that has been coming through the ceiling in my kitchen. My tenant has spoke to the tenants above and they are unable to spot any leak as the pipework is all enclosed.

    I've emailed the landlord of the flat but she's a fucking cow who never responds to emails when there's a problem and money will be involved. She also lives in Dubai. I've emailed her letting agent who say the flat is not managed by them so all they can do is email her...

    Presumably the tenants above can call out an emergency plumber and claim the costs back from the landlord or the agent, but what happens with getting the ceiling fixed in my flat? Do I have to claim from home insurance, or is this something that the other landlord would be responsible for paying for?

     

    Not such a quick question, but hey ho.

    Cheers
